Jason Chun took a few quick steps
after the soccer ball at Mills High
after school Thursday.
The 14-year-old needed to kick it
back to the Viking Bot — a square
robot created by Mills students dur-
ing last year’s build season.
Essentially made to play soccer, it
was designed to move the ball
around.

Assemblyman offers ‘State of the State’
Budget,high-speed rail plans dominate speech turned discussion
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The budget process is ugly, high-speed rail
is undecided and nobody is particularly cer-
tain what will happen after Election Day.
Yet, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
tried to deliver a positive message to con-
stituents Friday during a State of the State
address in Belmont.
Although the state hacked millions from its
budget, officials were able to protect K-12
education with $300 million more and a
“strong commitment to pay back education”
for $11 billion in earlier cuts, said Hill who
represents the 19th Assembly District.
Hill also pointed out pension reforms, a
2012 ballot measure to increase the state’s
rainy day fund and retention of the in-home
health care worker program as positives. Hill
said the last was preserved because legislators
“looked at it from a different perspective,”
realizing the program would cost more on the
chopping block than remaining intact.
In remarks before an audience of Belmont
city officials, workers and residents assembled
at the Twin Pines Senior and Community
Center, Hill emphasized the protection of vital
services for seniors, the environment and chil-
dren. Crafting and passing a budget is like bal-

Hill stopped short of
telling the audience to

majority needed to pass a state budget.
However, without it, he said, voters have no
specific individuals or party to blame for stale-
mates during a budget process that often
includes extortion. The change offers account-
ability which can be acted upon at re-election
time, he said.
While the budget was the first item Hill
tackled, high-speed rail was the topic promi-
nent in many attendees’ minds. Although Hill
conceded not knowing all the answers, that
didn’t stop the assembled crowd from lobbing
questions — Would the current train grade
separation in Belmont be knocked down?
Were officials knowingly deceitful about the
cost and scope? Could ridership ever fund the
project? Why can’t the train stop in San Jose
rather than run up the Peninsula to San
Francisco?

Hill supports the concept of high-speed rail
because there must be alternative transporta-
tion — a lesson he learned as a county super-
visor sitting on an airport planning committee.
Yet while Sacramento leaders and HSR pro-
ponents trumpet thousands of new jobs and
how the project is great for California, Hill
said he is committed to ensuring the affected
communities like Belmont aren’t destroyed or
scarred by the tracks and noise.
“I couldn’t live with myself,” Hill said.
A major component of the disconnect
between voters passing the bond and residents
now denouncing the details is that “people
didn’t ask the questions” before the election,
he said.
Now, as he and other officials learn more
about aerial viaduct plans used in Europe and
Japan, Hill said he sees that projects running
through open space aren’t viable when the
wildlife being disturbed are the two-legged
kind.
Hill disagreed that residents have no say in
the project but admitted being heard is not as
easy as asking a local council about zoning or
development. The key, he said, is communi-
cating with those local entities who in turn are

Macabre find at Colma cemetery
Two hearts found buried with pictures pinned to them
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Authorities are working to determine the
origin of two human hearts found in jars
unearthed in a Colma cemetery earlier this
month with pictures of two different young
couples pinned to each organ, a police com-
mander said Friday.
A maintenance worker was in an isolated
area of the 300-acre Holy Cross Catholic
Cemetery located at 1500 Mission Road on
the afternoon of Oct. 12 when he saw the tops
of two jars poking up from the dirt, Colma
police Cmdr. Jon Read said.
The jars, buried side-by-side several inches
apart in an area not near any gravesites or
buildings, each contained one heart with a
photo of a couple seemingly in their early 20s
pinned to it, Read said.
Police are currently trying to figure out the
LOCAL/STATE
identities, Read said. The photographs were
personal pictures that were not professionally
taken, he said.
“It’s a little bit perplexing right now”
because two people were depicted in each
photo attached to the single hearts, Read said.
A pathologist with the San Mateo County
Coroner’s Office examined the hearts and
concluded that they had been surgically
removed from dead bodies that had been
autopsied, Read said. The organs also con-
tained traces of embalming fluid, he said.
Read said the evidence found at the scene,
which included residue from candles and
cigars, “leads us to believe it was some kind
of ritual that might be connected with
Santeria.”
Santeria is an Afro-Caribbean religion that
faced some controversy in America in the

Embezzler sentenced to eight years prison
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A woman convicted of stealing more than
half-million dollars from her insurance com-
pany employer was sentenced Friday to
eight years in prison and will learn next
month how much she must pay back.
Michelle Ganczarski, 46, pleaded no con-
test to 10 felonies in April in return for no
more than eight years. The next question is
restitution which will be decided Nov. 12.
After pleading no contest, Ganczarski
claimed to be indigent and unsuccessfully
asked the court to pay for her private attor-
ney during sentencing. She was later
appointed an attorney.
The felonies to which Ganczarski pleaded

ment, five counts of felony identity theft and
four counts of felony for-

Friend:Waves
red following
shark attack
By Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The victim
of a fatal shark attack at a Central
California beach cried out to his
friend for help as the shark flashed
out of the water, bit into his leg and
pulled him under in a tide of red
blood, the friend said Friday.
Matthew Garcia was two feet
away from his friend, 19-year-old
Lucas Ransom, when the shark
attacked, he said. The whole inci-
dent lasted seconds.
“When the shark hit him, he just
said, ’Help me, dude!’ He knew
what was going on,” Garcia told
the AP. “It was really fast. You just
saw a red wave and this water is
blue — as blue as it could ever be
— and it was just red, the whole
wave.”
As huge waves broke over his
head, Garcia tried to find his friend
in the surf but couldn’t. He decided
to get help, but turned around once
more as he was swimming to shore
and saw Ransom’s red body board
pop up. Garcia swam to his friend
and did chest compressions as he
brought him to shore.
Ransom already appeared dead
and his leg was mauled, he said.
“He was just floating in the
water. I flipped him over on his
back and underhooked his arms. I
was pressing on his chest and
doing rescue breathing in the
water,” Garcia said. “He was just
kind of lifeless, just dead weight.”

Newcomer catches
Mavericks permit
The San Mateo County Harbor
Commission Wednesday awarded a
coveted permit for the famous
Mavericks surf competition to new-
comer Half Moon Bay Surf Group Inc.
The decision ends debate over
future production of the annual con-
test which has previously been man-
aged by Mavericks Surf Ventures
LLC. The decision also brings a new
name to the contest, Maverick’s Big
Wave Invitational.
The Half Moon Bay Surf Group,
and supporters in the surf communi-
ty, sold it as a sharp contrast to
recent commercialization and prom-
ised to limit spectators on the beach
and provide crowd control.
Mavericks began in 1975 with a
single surfer and has grown into an
international phenomena, drawing
crowds of people to coastal San
Mateo County to watch the compe-
tition off Pillar Point Harbor.
Mom not guilty by
reason of insanity
A Redwood City mother pleaded
no contest to attempted murder of
her daughter and assault on her son
Tuesday but was found not guilty by
reason of insanity.
Philomena Mary Brown, 40, had
already entered twin pleas of not
guilty and not guilty by reason of
insanity to multiple counts of
attempted murder. Once assigned to
a state hospital, Brown will remain
there until restored to sanity, which
is a minimum of 180 days.
Police arrested Brown after
receiving a call June 21 from the son
who said he and his sister were
attacked with a dumbbell at the fam-
ily’s home at 1010 Vera Ave. Later
details showed that Brown’s hus-
band of 26 years and the children
were allegedly drugged the previous
night by something she placed in
their food.
New jail to be
away from downtown
Redwood City’s effort to keep a
new county jail away from its down-
town got a big boost Tuesday as the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors voted 5-0 to pursue
construction of the facility on land
city leaders favor. The county will
now consider building a replace-
ment jail on Chemical Way rather
than the “motor pool” site at the cur-
rent Maguire Correctional Facility
near downtown.
Sheriff Greg Munks and the jail
planning unit of the Sheriff’s Office
originally proposed building a five-
story jail at the motor pool site but
the Redwood City Council opposed
that idea because of the proximity to
downtown.

Americans split on health care repeal
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
and Jennifer Agiesta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — First it was
President Barack Obama’s health
care overhaul that divided the
nation. Now it’s the Republican cry
for repeal.
An Associated Press-GfK poll
found likely voters evenly split on
whether the law should be scrapped
or retooled to make even bigger
changes in the way Americans get
their health care.
Tea party enthusiasm for repeal
has failed to catch on with other
groups, the poll found, which may
be a problem for Republicans vow-
ing to strike down Obama’s signa-
ture accomplishment if they gain
control of Congress in the Nov. 2
elections.
Among likely voters, 36 percent
said they want to revise the law so it
does more to change the health care
system. A nearly identical share —
37 percent — said they want to

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
declared a state of emergency in a

a regional mall was consumed by an

least $6.5 million in damage.
Yet city officials said unburned sec-

at Roseville could reopen within

“We just can’t ignore the health of

an even bigger drain on the econo-
my,” said Linda Montgomery, 63, a
retired software engineer from Pass
Christian, Miss. “I wouldn’t oppose
having the law changed — I would
like to see it expanded even more.”
But Joe Renier, an information
technology manager, said he finds
that view “actually quite scary.”
“They want more power for the
government,” said Renier, 54, of
Tucson, Ariz. “I don’t believe the
government has a right to tell us to
buy health insurance,” he said,
adding that the law does nothing to
address unsustainable health care
costs.
In the poll, only 15 percent said

they would leave the overhaul as it
is. And 10 percent wanted modifica-
tions to narrow its scope.
The health care law will eventual-
ly extend coverage to more than 30
million uninsured by signing up
low-income adults for Medicaid and
providing middle-class households
with tax credits for private insur-
ance. Starting in 2014, most
Americans will be required to carry
coverage, and insurers no longer
will be allowed to turn away people
in poor health.
Overall, Americans remain divid-
ed about the law itself. Among like-
ly voters, 52 percent oppose it, for a
range of reasons. Forty-one percent
said they support it. Strong oppo-
nents outnumber strong supporters

There must be blood
T
here is something I
learned a long time ago.
In national elections, if
the electorate is disappointed by
some developments during the
term of incumbent(s), someone
needs to pay the price, even if the
onset of the problem was the
responsibility of a previous incum-
bent(s).
“There must be blood!” Some
party or parties needs to bleed for
our unhappiness. So President
George H. W. Bush needed to be
dethroned in 1992 when the econ-
omy went against him, even
though the genesis of the problem
was in the previous Reagan
administration that built up a
record-breaking deficit.
Today, many believe blood must
be drawn from the current admin-
istration for problems that matured
during the Bush/Cheney adminis-
tration.
That’s just how it is. Voters have
very short memories and national
elections are very gross, especially
when they are angry and, then,
someone or more must bleed. This
blood lust hits both national par-
ties, at times.
It’s a given for academics that
this country has a monstrous
capacity to forget, even what hap-
pened as recent as the previous
administration. After an era of
Republican rule, we had an enor-
mous economic collapse, short-
circuiting of citizens’ rights, trash-
ing of constitutional law, the
active practice of torture, two
questionable Middle Eastern wars
that have cost us immeasurable
financial losses to corruption and
theft there, shattered and crippled
combat veterans returning home.
We seem to have already forgotten
that. But today, there must be the
blood of the current political fig-
ures who can still be reached, even
though, collaterally, it brings us
back into the den of those wolves
who put us there in the first place.
A unique feature of the current
cycle are the weirdos who have
slithered out from under the rocks
into national prominence: The
constitutionalists wish to put the
nation in a constitutional head-
lock, arguing the 1787 document
was the equivalent of the handing
down of the Ten Commandments
to Moses by God, intended to be
as permanent and immutable as
the sacred texts, which is absurd.
The Founding Fathers would not
have been so stupid. Had they
intended such a rigid intent, they
would not have provided for
amendments to adjust that incredi-
‘Voters have very short memories and national
elections are very gross, especially when they are
angry and, then, someone or more must bleed. This
blood lust hits both national parties, at times.’
bly conceived document to meet
the challenges of the unforesee-
able future.
Following that was the arrival of
that great Chief Justice John
Marshall who, at the dawning of
the 19th century, established that
the Supreme Court could and
should interpret legislation’s faith-
fulness to the Constitution, which
over the 200 years following, in
more modern settings, has drawn
differing views of its terms despite
what such renowned historians
and legal scholars such as Fox
News’ Glenn Beck and the other
weirdos believe otherwise.
So, if, after so many airings in
the Supreme Courts over the cen-
turies, the Federal Reserve
System, Social Security, the grad-
uated federal income tax,
Medicare, unemployment benefits,
the minimum wage, the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and other
alleged transgressions upon the
intent of the Constitution that have
run the gauntlet as vetted, still do
not satisfy these latter day super
patriots on constitutional intent, I
suggest we impeach and remove
eight of the current nine justices
and install a new court. Retain that
recidivist Justice Clarence Thomas
and install as chief justice Michele
Bachmann of Minnesota and as
justices, Christine O’Donnell of
Delaware, Sharron Angle of
Nevada, Joe Miller of Alaska,
John Raese of West Virginia, Rand
Paul of Kentucky and Glenn Beck,
the self-appointed agent for bring-
ing the constitution back to God.
Round it out with the “You
betcha!” Momma Grizzly, Sarah
Palin, the Joan of Arc defender of
a U.S. Constitution she has, likely,
never, even, read.
Should they take one or both
houses of Congress, what are the
chances of these latter day
prophets having their most heart-
felt yearning fulfilled? Just about
nil, as even the national
Republican leaders are beginning
to ask their people to pull back on
promises. What the Republicans
have been doing to date is surfing
on the anger of voters to regain
power and doing nothing more
than giving those generic speeches
about cutting back on spending,
curbing entitlements and reducing
the size of government. But, if
OPINION
they win, when the rubber hits the
road and their evasive promises hit
the fan, what may we anticipate
would be the first national reac-
tion?
Among the first sounds you will
be hearing will be the screaming
upwards of the farm state congres-
sional delegation as they streak
into the sky, like the Blue Angels,
with flames shooting from their
bottoms to resist cutting Big
Agribusiness’ subsidies.
The next you will hear are the
squealing of wheelchair tires as
the aging citizens bear down upon
Republican Congress folks tying
to limit or repeal Medicare, swing-
ing their crutches like shillelaghs
at their heads.
Then, an army of Social
Security recipients, with their
back-up responsible relatives, will
be marching upon Washington,
like a Beck-inspired spiritual
awakening, screaming: “When you
said ‘cut’ we didn’t think you
meant us!”
And don’t even think about the
cutting back of subsidies or tax
breaks for the rich or they will cut
you down at the next election
cycle.
After still overspending on the
national defense, all that will be
left is cutting back on the poor and
disenfranchised, those with no
access to lawyers and with few
advocates after the Democrats
become powerless. Such things as
cutting back on child care, created
so mothers may be able to get to
work and the food stamps that will
keep them alive if they can’t leave
their children in order to work.
Which will leave a disappointed
electorate who had been led to
believe that Superman, Spiderman
and Batman all rolled into one
would come into office to save our
nation from the alien-born,
Communist, Socialist, capitalism-
hating Muslim who had taken pos-
session of our White House to
press forward the ongoing pro-
gressive plot, godfathered by
President Theodore Roosevelt,
fathered by President Woodrow
Wilson, realized in the flesh as
President Franklin Roosevelt and
nurtured by ongoing decisions of
numerous Supreme Courts of the
United States.
As far as the technicals of the
dynamics of congressional action,
that is what I meant by “delusions
of power.” It is sad that so few
understand that process, when all
should. Unless one national politi-
cal party has control of both hous-
es and the White House, there is a
tortured path to achieving any
agenda and the White House has
the ultimate lever, the veto, which,
when he did not have the
Congress, President George H. W.
Bush exercised 44 times in his
four years in office.
Can the problems of the nation
be solved or ameliorated?
Certainly, with the cooperation of
representatives loyal to the nation
above party. But the national
Republicans have already wiped
out the middle with their purging
of the moderates, as President
Obama has already found out, they
don’t cooperate. So don’t look for
that in the foreseeable future.
***
With the gift of unlimited corpo-
rate money courtesy of the
Supreme Court Five and the
Republicans voting against the
revelation of those donors to the,
subsequently, newly-birthed politi-
cal action committees and ad buy-
ers and the potential of foreign
money pouring in for all of these
and into the United States
Chamber of Commerce, it is hard
to guess what the billions in cam-
paign funding will bring, now, and
in the future.
Will Meg Whitman’s $144 mil-
lion of her own money to date buy
her the governorship of
California?
I am still of a mind that the
“Truman effect” is still in play and
that the neither house will change
hands.

Yes on 20, no on 27 party primaries, rendering general County was a victim of the unde- Michael Almonte Jenna Chambers

Editor,
While it is essential that the
Democrats win big in California
this year, I am very frustrated
with the California Democratic
Party’s decision to endorse posi-
tions of no on Proposition 20 and
yes on Proposition 27. Voters
should be able to choose their
representatives, but for too long in
California through gerrymander-
ing among some insiders, elected
representatives have been choos-
ing their voters. For decades,
political redistricting has been
used as a political tool to entrench
incumbency, keep outsiders from
winning legislative races and to
decide district office holders in
elections meaningless formalities.
Proposition 27 would reverse
the reform passed by voters in
2008 to put the power of drawing
state legislative districts into the
hands of an independent Citizen’s
Commission on Redistricting.
Instead, if Proposition 27 is
passed, the power of drawing dis-
tricts after the 2010 census will
revert back to the incumbents in
the state Legislature. Proposition
20 would take the existing power
of drawing congressional districts
away from the good old boys net-
work and empower the Citizen’s
Commission on Redistricting with
the power to draw congressional
districts. With this reform’s pas-

Stocks end higher
By Stephen Bernard

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones
industrial average rose for a third
straight week, capping a two-month
period in which the index has ended 7
out of 8 weeks higher than where it start-
ed.
Stocks ended on a mixed note Friday
at the close of a busy week of earnings

while the broader Standard and Poor’s

Nasdaq both ended with gains.

Tough economic times head West
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A delayed decline
in home prices and drops in manufactur-
ing and tourism have caused unemploy-
ment in western mountain states to rise
faster in the past year than in any other
region.
The jobless rate in the eight-state
Mountain West region has jumped to 9.3
percent from 8.7 percent a year ago.
That’s still lower than the 9.6 percent
national average. But the gap is narrow-
ing with the rest of the nation. The jobs
crisis in regions with higher unemploy-
ment has mainly stabilized.
The lagging pace represents a sharp
turnaround for a region that had been
growing at a healthy pace before the
recession. And it illustrates how broadly
the Great Recession and its aftershocks
are affecting the country.
A rush of young people and California
transplants helped make the region —
covering ground from New Mexico to
Montana — one of the fastest-growing
parts of the country in the past decade.

Aragon can’t slow down Panthers’offense
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two things were abundantly clear Friday
night in Burlingame.
One, Aragon’s second-string offense was
too much for Burlingame’s second-string
defense to handle.
Second, and most importantly, Aragon’s
first-string defense was no match for
Burlingame’s first-string offense.
Indians stop Menlo
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Both the Jefferson and Menlo School foot-
ball teams came into Friday’s showdown in
Atherton with two of the best offenses in the
Peninsula Athletic League’s Ocean Division.
The game for first place in the division,
however, came down to defense, and it was
the Indians who came up with the big plays as
they stunned the Knights, 14-13.
While Menlo (2-1 PAL Ocean, 5-2 overall)
generated 308 yards of offense, Jefferson (3-0,
6-1) came up with five turnovers. While only
one of them resulted in a Jefferson touch-
down, the turnovers definitely kept Menlo’s
high-powered offense off the field.
“It was turnovers (that were the differ-
ence),” said Menlo coach Mark Newton, who
predicted the night before the game would
hinge on them. “I knew that would be the
decider.”
It wasn’t sloppy play that caused the mis-
cues either. The Indians forced all of them —
three interceptions and two fumbles — as they
never let Menlo quarterback Robert Wickers
get comfortable after a game-opening scoring
drive.
“It was the secondary (that made the differ-
ence),” said Jefferson coach Ako Poti. “If we
sit in a zone, they would pick us apart. We just
had to get pressure (on the quarterback). We
don’t even have to get sacks. Just get pressure.
“We get these guys thinking defense (first).
We weren’t very good on defense last year.”
All of the scoring was done in the first half,
with Menlo scoring on its first drives of the
first and second quarters. The Knights took
the opening kickoff and starting from its own
30, drove 70 yards on 12 plays, with running
back Beau Nichols scoring from a yard out.
The Menlo defense was on top of its game
as well. It stopped the Indians on fourth down
twice on their first two drives and, following
the second stop, Nichols ripped off a 67-yard
scoring run to put Menlo up 13-0 with nine
minutes to play in the first half.
The extra point was missed, however, and
that turned out to be the difference in the
game.

Oswalt has never lost at Phillies’ballpark
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Roy Oswalt is right at
home — pitching as a starter in a ballpark
where he’s never lost.
Back in a familiar role after an unsuccessful
guest appearance as a reliever, Oswalt gets the
ball for Game 6 on Saturday when the Phillies
try to even the NL championship series
against San Francisco.
The Panthers scored a touchdown in every
quarter and were never seriously threatened as
they buried Aragon 28-7.
Although the final score looks somewhat
close, it most certainly was not as Burlingame
marched up and down the field almost at will.
The Panthers racked up 436 yards of offense
and shut out the Dons until Aragon put a drive
together late in the fourth quarter.
“I’m really happy with the effort,” said
Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos. “We

ARLINGTON, Texas — Their Texas-

the World Series.
And they got there with a win over their
old nemesis, the defending champion New
York Yankees.
Vladimir Guerrero drove in three runs
before Nelson Cruz hit a towering, two-run

Colby Lewis dominated over eight innings
for his second win of the series and Josh
Hamilton earned the ALCS MVP award.
And in a state where most sports fans gear
up for fall weekends by watching high

meaning to Friday Night Lights.
“The World Series is coming to Texas,”
longtime Rangers infielder Michael Young
said. “These fans have waited longer than
we have. I know how bad we wanted it and
they must have wanted it more.”
“Totally worth the wait, totally,” he said.
When Alex Rodriguez took a called third
strike to end the game, fireworks exploded
in the sky high above, confetti filled the air
and the Rangers embraced each other near

49ers begin 11-day trip against Carolina

By Mike Cranston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Maybe
this 11-day, eight-time zone, two-
continent trip is a good thing for
Alex Smith and the San Francisco
49ers.
Smith gets a reprieve from the
booing fans back home upset with
his struggles and the 49ers’ poor
start. And the first opponent in this
trans-Atlantic tour can serve as a
confidence boost for Smith.
Quarterbacks can play much
worse than Smith has this season.
Just ask Carolina.
While the Panthers (0-5) again
turn to Matt Moore three games after
he was benched because rookie
Jimmy Clausen was no better, the
49ers (1-5) hope to pounce against
the NFL’s lowest-scoring team
Sunday and win their second
straight before flying directly to
London for next week’s game
against Denver.
“I think there is potential for posi-
tive things,” Smith said of the trip,
chuckling but not answering if it’s
good to get away from San
Francisco.
Smith’s difficult season seemed to
hit a low point in the first half last
week, when the calls for backup
David Carr were loud as the winless
49ers trailed Oakland 6-0 and Smith
was 2 of 11 passing.
But Smith recovered with two sec-
ond-half touchdown passes, went
without a turnover for the first time
this season, and the consensus pick
to win the NFC West beat the
Raiders 17-9 to leave only Carolina
and Buffalo in the NFL’s winless
club.
“I just feel even when he is home
with the boos he has to work through
it just like he did last week,” 49ers
coach Mike Singletary said. “I think
it makes him better and I think the
fans are seeing him mature right
before their eyes and they’re seeing
good things.”
The Panthers know about home
boos, too. Moore was the target of
fans in a 20-7 home loss to Tampa
Bay that got him benched. But
Clausen couldn’t spark an offense
averaging 10.4 points a game —
Carolina’s 52 points are 28 fewer
than any other team in the league —
and coach John Fox elevated Moore
to the starting job again on Monday
following their
bye week.
Moore, who
was 4-1 as a
starter last sea-
son, gets another
chance to over-
come his eight
turnovers and
Alex Smith 33.3 passer rat-
ing and try to
stop the Panthers’ worst start since
they were 0-7 in 1998.
“For me personally it’s huge, it’s
important,” Moore said. “I know I
can play this game. I think people
here know I can play this game.
Now it’s just a matter of showing it.”
Quarterback play is not all that
ails Carolina. While the Panthers are
expected to get top receiver Steve
Smith (ankle) back Sunday, he’s
been slowed by constant double
teams because opponents don’t
respect the three rookies and two
recent waiver claims that make up
the rest of the receiving unit.
That’s also allowed teams to stack
the line of scrimmage with eight
defenders to stop Carolina’s once-
feared running game. It’s added up
to the Panthers averaging a league-
worst 236 yards a game.
“We’re going to keep seeing that
until we can make them respect us a
little bit more in the passing game,”
center Ryan Kalil said of the eight-
man fronts.
The 49ers likely won’t stray from
that script, and the defense was
impressive last week, holding the
Raiders to 179 yards. But if San
Francisco is ever going to improve
on its minus-8 turnover margin and
its league-low seven takeaways, it’s
against Carolina. The Panthers have
an NFL-high 16 turnovers.
“It’s something that we continue
to work toward,” Singletary said.
“Finding that balance between guys
not just focusing on turnovers but
doing their jobs and understanding
that turnovers will come.”
Moore’s miscues have been puz-
zling. He’s completed just 42 per-
cent of his passes and was missing
badly on deep balls before he was
benched. He quickly threw two
interceptions when he replaced
Clausen late in the fourth quarter of
Carolina’s last game, a 23-6 loss to
Chicago on Oct. 10.
He’s also lost two fumbles and
hasn’t looked to be in command of
an overhauled offense searching for
a leader.
“Being good on first and second
down early, and then hitting the
shorter passes when we need them,”
Moore said of the plan to get out of
his funk. “Get the run game going.
And when a ball is there down the
field we have, just have, to hit it.”
Moore’s six picks in parts of three
games is less than Alex Smith’s
NFL-high nine. It would help if
Smith on Sunday can again rely on
Frank Gore, who rushed for 149
yards last week.
The 49ers had a busy week. After
packing for 11 days and many dif-
ferent climates, Friday’s flight to
Charlotte began a nearly 12,000-
mile excursion that won’t bring
them back to the Bay Area until Nov.
1.
Maybe by then they’ll have a cou-
ple more wins and a friendlier home
crowd.
“It’s going to make for an interest-
ing week here,” Smith said. “I think
it’s important for us to focus on
Carolina and we can’t look past it
and clump the two games together.
When London comes we will deal
with it then.”

Broncos will test Raiders DBs

By Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Champ Bailey says the
only reason Nnamdi Asomugha usually
loses out to Darrelle Revis in the debate
over who’s the top young cornerback in the
NFL is because teams don’t test him
enough.
That should change Sunday when the
Oakland Raiders visit the Denver Broncos
in a matchup of 2-4 teams looking for a
turnaround.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said he’ll
instruct quarterback Kyle Orton to be aware
of where Asomugha is on the field but has
no plans to avoid the two-time Pro Bowl
cornerback like so many other teams do.
“He’s one of the top corners in the league
... and the fact that we have to play him
twice a year is no fun,” McDaniels said.
“But we’re going to try to run our offense.
When you start getting into a game plan
and saying, ’Well, we can’t do this and we
can’t do that,’ you can
start to outthink your-
self.”
Orton is the league’s
second-most prolific
passer behind Philip
Rivers and he has a
deep corps of receivers
to choose from even if
Nnamdi Eddie Royal is a no-go
Asomugha Sunday with a groin
injury.
With 32 catches for 367 yards and two
TDs, Royal already had put up numbers
similar to those he accumulated all of last
year, when he had 31 receptions for 345
yards.
Orton, however, has plenty of other tar-
gets, including Jabar Gaffney (37 catches
for 408 yards), Brandon Lloyd (34 grabs
for an NFL-high 663 yards) and top draft
pick Demaryius Thomas (14 catches for
178 yards).
And the Broncos haven’t even taken the
wrapping off rookie Eric Decker, another
big wideout they grabbed in the third round
after his senior season at Minnesota was cut
short by a foot injury.
There’s also running back Correll
Buckhalter and tight end Daniel Graham,
each of whom have double-digit receptions
so far.
So, Asomugha might be in for more of a
workout than usual.
“The only thing about him is that he
doesn’t have all the numbers, but he plays
great. He covers well, tackles well,” Bailey
said. “The guy does everything well, so it’s
just one of those things where he’s not get-
ting seven, eight picks a year. It’s just not
happening for him like that. Some guys (get
the stats), some don’t. Numbers can be
overwhelming or misleading sometimes.”
Asomugha didn’t allow his man to catch
a pass in Oakland’s first two games and has
gotten only a handful of looks over the past
month.

Philadelphia. The Giants lead the
NLCS 3-2.
The Rangers, who had never
won a postseason series or a
home playoff game before this
year, dispatched the $200 mil-
lion-plus Bronx Bombers with lit-
tle drama — especially after a
four-run outburst in the fifth
inning snapped a 1-all tie.
And that makes it even more
satisfying for the Rangers and
their fans since New York
knocked Texas out of the playoffs
in each of the club’s three previ-
ous appearances. Derek Jeter is
among several players remaining
from those teams in the late
1990s and Rodriguez is among
several former Rangers now
The Rangers outplayed the
Yankees in every facet. Along
with their slugging, they showed
off something Ryan has brought
them — a culture where pitching
rules, and starters expect to go
deep into games.
Moments after closer Neftali
Feliz fanned Rodriguez for the
final out, a flag proclaiming the
Texas as the AL champion
flapped above the ballpark. The
Rangers celebrated on the field
with ginger ale in deference to
Hamilton’s admitted substance
abuse problems.
Quite something for a franchise
that began in 1961 as the
Washington Senators. They
moved to Texas in 1972 with Ted
Williams as their manager.
“We are here as a group. This REUTERS
group is here because they don’t Texas Rangers’Vladimir Guerrero celebrates with fans after the team won their Major League Baseball ALCS

NLCS

I may not get to this spot again. So I’m going
to try to do everything possible to get to that
final game.”
Jonathan Sanchez, the Game 2 loser, takes
the mound for San Francisco. The Giants are
looking for their first pennant since Barry
Bonds led them to within six outs of the World
Series title in 2002.
Sanchez gave up three runs — two earned —
and five hits in six-plus innings last Sunday
night. The tough lefty had dominated the
Phillies in his five previous starts against them,
not allowing more than four hits in any outing.
Sanchez beat San Diego on the final day of
the regular season to lead San Francisco to the
NL West title. He’d like one more clinching
victory.
“It’s going to be great to get to the World
We’ve got a lot of guys on the team that have
never been there, and to be able to do that, it’s
going to be something special for me.”
After Tim Lincecum outdueled Halladay in
the opener, Oswalt threw eight superb innings
in a 6-1 win.
“I pitched in Houston. It’s small there, too,”
Oswalt said. “It doesn’t really matter the size.
Don’t really think about it when you’re on the
mound. You think of making them hit it on the
ground or try to not let them hit it on the sweet
spot of the bat, and if you can do that, you’re
usually pretty successful.”
This will be Oswalt’s sixth start against the
Giants this year. They beat him three times dur-
ing the regular season when he was with
Houston. Oswalt pitched well in those games,
but got no run support. He’s beaten San
Francisco twice with the Phillies.
Acquired from Houston on July 29, Oswalt
went 7-1 with a 1.74 ERA in 13 games with the
Phillies. Oswalt — not Halladay or Cole
down the stretch. He was 7-0 with a 1.17 ERA
in his last 10 starts.
“I want this guy pitching at home,” Phillies
manager Charlie Manuel said. “He definitely is
a competitor. You can tell that by how he gets
the ball and throws it and some of the things he
does, how he looks on the mound and every-
thing. Presence counts. What you give off to
the hitter and everything definitely counts a
lot.”
The two-time NL champion Phillies are try-
ing to force the first Game 7 in franchise histo-
ry. In 1980, Mike Schmidt and Pete Rose led
Philadelphia past Nolan Ryan and the Houston
Astros in Game 5 when the NLCS was a best-
of-five series.
Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, is
scheduled to start against Matt Cain on Sunday
night if the Phillies survive their second
straight do-or-die game. Hamels could even get
the call at some point Saturday instead.
“Depends on where we’re at in the situation,”
likely I won’t, but at the same time, I’m not rul-
ing it out.”
Neither team worked out Friday. The Phillies
flew home after extending the series Thursday
night. The Giants made the cross-country trip
on Friday, and their flight got delayed before
taking off because President Barack Obama
and Air Force One were arriving in San
Francisco.
“We’ve been tested all year. You go back to
early August, we’ve been playing big games,”
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “We were 6
1/2-7 games back. Went down to the wire play-
ing Atlanta and now we’re here in Philly, play-
ing a tremendous team that’s been to the World
Series the last two years. No question, that’s a
test. But these guys, they’ve been battle-tested.
And we know we’re playing a club that’s
loaded with experience, and they are, too. But I
like the way my team has handled everything
thrown at them and they’ll go out there and
give it their all. And that’s all you can ask.”

has missed time this season,”
Philipopoulos said. “Now, they have
fresh legs.”
Aragon appeared to have some-
thing for the Burlingame defense as
Aaron Eder ripped off a 55-yard run
on the first play from scrimmage,
taking the ball from the Dons’ 20 to
the Burlingame 25. But the Panther
defense stiffened and they stopped
Aragon on fourth down at the
Burlingame 16.
The Burlingame offense, on its
first drive, wasted little time in tak-
ing a 7-0 lead. The Panthers drove
84 yards on eight plays. A 34-yard
strike from quarterback Nik
Gutierrez to tight end Will Scattini
gave Burlingame a first down at the
Aragon 32 and five plays later,
Lesov went into the end zone from
20 yards out.
Aragon was forced to punt on its
next possession and the Panthers
promptly drove 80 yards on 12
plays, with Lesov capping the drive
with a 6-yard run and a 14-0
Burlingame lead.
Burlingame forced Aragon to
punt again and the Panthers would
have taken a 21-0 lead, but their
drive stalled at the Dons’ 15 and
then they missed a 32-yard field
goal attempt.
Aragon coach Steve Sell said he
had an almost helpless feeling on
the sideline in the first half.
“We never felt like we could real-
ly stop them,” Sell said.
Burlingame received the second-
half kickoff and the Panthers wasted
little time in making it a 21-0 game.
Moving from their own 38 to the
Aragon 46 on three plays, the
Panthers struck pay dirt on their
next play as Pessah took a pitch and
went 46 yards down the right side-
line for the score.
The Panthers capped their scoring
ball at the Menlo 46. Nunu took the snap and,
on the night on their first drive of the
fourth quarter. Starting from their
own 20, the Panthers needed just
five plays to find the end zone. A 41-
yard pass from Gutierrez to Cuddy
moved the ball from the Panthers’
22 to the Aragon 37. Following a
holding penalty against the Panthers
that gave them a first-and-21, Cuddy
tore off a 26-yard run. Two plays
later, Gutierrez lofted a perfect pass
to the left-front corner of the end
zone to Rodrigo Puliceno.
Aragon avoided the shut out when
Davarian Redd scored from 9 yards
out with 2:27 to play. It was
arguably the Dons’ best drive of the
night, covering 63 yards on seven
plays.
“I can say we got beat by a better
football team,” Sell said.
Said Philipopoulos: “I’m really
happy with the progress, especially
the offense. I’m really proud of the
offensive line. That’s as well as NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL

Not that Newton blamed his kicker for the
loss.
“We made 50 other mistakes (that cost us),”
Newton said.
The Knights continued to play well defen-
sively, but when Jefferson made a switch at
quarterback late in the first half, Menlo could-
n’t stop the Indians.
Ezekiel Nunu took over for Cheyenne
Meafua with 2:18 left in the first half and the
on a designed running play, rolled to his right.
He cut up field through a huge hole and then
out-ran the Menlo defense to the end zone for
a touchdown and suddenly the Indians were
down just six points.
Jefferson’s Robert Thomas came up with an
interception on the Knights next drive and
returned it to the Menlo 28. Jefferson
appeared to pick up a first down on a fourth-
down run from Asante Williams, but the
Indians were flagged for a block in the back.
Facing fourth down again at the Menlo 22,

lead they would not relinquish.
“They had eight in the box and they kept
crashing (the pocket),” Poti explained in mak-
ing the move to Nunu. “We started to spread
them out (with Nunu in the game).
“We’ve run (that play) once (in a game
before Friday).”
In the second half, it was all about the
Jefferson defense. Four of the Indians take-
aways came in the final 24 minutes. When the
Indians weren’t picking off passes, their sec-
ondary was covering the Menlo receivers like
a blanket, knocking down several passes.
“They have a 4x100 team over there,”
“We’ve thrown about 67 (percent completions
this season). Today, we threw less than 50
(percent).
“We had to make some plays. [The Indians]
made some and we didn’t.”
For Jefferson, the win was huge as the
Indians try to get to the level they were in the
early- to mid-1990s when they were one of
the top programs on the Peninsula.
“For the program, (this win is) huge,” Poti
said. “We’re the only football team in Daly
City and a lot of our talent gets farmed out (to
other teams and leagues). If the talent stays
home, we can play pretty good football in
Daly City.”

Obama asks voters to stick with Democrats
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Control of
Congress at stake, President Barack
Obama entreated voters Friday to stick
with Democrats on Nov. 2 even though
times are tough and the electricity of
his presidential campaign can seem like
a faded memory.
“Change is hard,” Obama told sup-
porters at a fundraiser for Sen. Barbara
Boxer of California on day three of a
four-day campaign swing from
Portland to Minneapolis aimed at
shielding imperiled Democratic majori-
ties in the House and Senate.
“We knew it was going to be hard. I
told you it was going to be hard. And
yet we’ve made a difference,” the pres-
ident said. “Don’t let anybody tell you
that that work we put in has not made a
difference.”
Trying mightily to reknit the coalition
that sent him to the White House,
Obama was reaching out to Latino vot-
ers, college students, women and others
as he sought to boost the candidacies of
key congressional allies whose success
or failure on Election Day will help
determine the fate of his own agenda.
On Friday, Obama was campaigning

Fiorina, while Reid is in a tossup cam-

California also elects a governor on
Nov. 2, and Republicans privately
expressed concern about the fate of
their candidate, Meg Whitman. They
said private polls showed her falling
behind former Democratic Gov. Jerry
Brown in recent days, despite about
$142 million of her own money on the
campaign. These officials spoke on
condition of anonymity, saying they
were not authorized to disclose confi-

Obama sad, shocked by
number of youth suicides
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he’s
“shocked and saddened” by the recent suicides of young
people who were bullied and taunted for being gay.
In a video posted late Thursday on YouTube and the White
House website, the president said that as the father of two
daughters, the deaths are heartbreaking.
Obama says he doesn’t know what it’s like to be picked on
for being gay, but he does know what it’s like to grow up
feeling that sometimes you don’t belong.

Iraq war leaks
No U.S. investigation of many abuses
By Raphael G. Satter
and Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — U.S. forces often
failed to follow up on credible evi-
dence that Iraqi forces mistreated,
tortured and killed their captives as
they battled a violent insurgency,
according to accounts contained in
what was purportedly the largest leak
of secret information in U.S. history.
The documents are among nearly
400,000 released Friday by the
WikiLeaks website in defiance of
Pentagon insistence that the action
puts the lives of U.S. troops and
their coalition partners at risk.
Although the documents appear
to be authentic, their origin could
not be independently confirmed,
and WikiLeaks declined to offer
any details about them. The
Pentagon has previously declined
to confirm the authenticity of
WikiLeaks-released records, but it
has employed more than 100 U.S.
analysts to review what was previ-
ously released and has never indi-
cated that any past WikiLeaks
releases were inaccurate.
The 391,831 documents date from
the start of 2004 to Jan. 1, 2010,
mostly by low-ranking officers in
the field. In terse, dry language, they
catalog thousands of battles with
insurgents and roadside bomb
attacks, along with equipment fail-
ures and shootings by civilian con-
tractors.
The United States went to war in
part to end the brutality of Saddam
Hussein’s regime, but the
WikiLeaks material depicts
American officers caught in a com-
plicated and chaotic conflict in
which they frequently could do little
but report to their superiors when
they found evidence that their Iraqi
allies were committing their own
abuses.
WikiLeaks offered the Associated
Press and other news organizations
access to a searchable database of
redacted versions of the reports
three hours prior to its general
release Friday. A few news organi-
zations, including the New York
Times, Le Monde, The Guardian
and Der Spiegel, were given access
to the material far earlier.

U.S.ups Pakistani military aid by $2B
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama
administration on Friday laid out a
five-year, $2 billion military aid
package for Pakistan as it pressed
the Islamabad government to inten-
sify its fight against extremists there
and in neighboring Afghanistan.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton announced the
plan during the latest round of U.S.-
Pakistani strategic dialogue. The
administration will ask Congress for
$2 billion for Pakistan to purchase
U.S.-made arms, ammunition and
accessories from 2012 to 2016,
Clinton said.

Frights with no frills

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If there was any lesson to draw
from the first “Paranormal Activity,”
it’s that men should take their girl-
friends’ concerns seriously, espe-
cially when it comes to encounters
with the demonic.
Much of the appeal of
“Paranormal Activity” was its
seeming grass roots growth, a film
made for under $15,000 that went
from midnight screenings to earn
nearly $200 million at the world-
wide box-office. Though that path
was indeed carefully orchestrated,
the sequel risks losing some of its
“Blair Witch” realism with that very
Hollywood “2” in its title.
“Paranormal Activity 2” gets the
benefit of a wide opening release,
but it has stayed quite true to its pre-
decessor’s simplistic formula of
amateur footage and no-frills
frights.
Some elements have been beefed
up. Tod Williams (“The Door in the
Floor”) has been brought in to direct
the script by Michael R. Perry and
Oren Peli, who wrote and directed
the first “Paranormal Activity.”
That film focused on a young
couple whose California house is
haunted by a demon. The insensi-
tive boyfriend videotapes every-
thing in hopes of both proof and
amusement. The sequel is again set
in a SoCal home (in the summer of
2006) where a demon is making
domestic mischief.
Kristi (Sprague Grayden) and
Dan (Brian Bolden) have a baby
boy and a teenager, Ally (Molly

People were
urged to wear
purple to show their support for les-
bian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) youth who face verbal and
physical harassment because of
their lifestyle. In fact, it is estimat-
ed that nine out of 10 LGBT young
people experience physical or ver-
bal harassment, according to Eliza
Byard, executive director of the
Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education
Network.
The whole war against bullying
and discrimination has been waged
since the inception of human socie-
ty. It is an ongoing battle against
bigotry and intolerance with no
easy answer as the values and
beliefs of an individual can be
ingrained in their conscience at a
young age from a number of influ-
ences. In most cases, acts of bully-
ing against LGBT youth go unre-
ported and can persist almost indef-
initely if there is no intervention.

Movies that benefitted from viral buzz

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — We’re dig-
ging deep in the vaults this week,
going all the way back to 1999 to
look at movies with viral buzz.
These are films that cultivated a
mystique about them, an urgent,
must-see aura, based on unorthodox
marketing methods. Maybe it’s a
creepy website. Maybe it’s a few
delicious details trickled out to a
specific fan base. Maybe social
media propels the buzz. Or maybe
just a great title gets people talking.
With “Paranormal Activity 2”
opening this week, here are five
movies that have benefited from that
intangible but irresistible viral buzz:
“Paranormal Activity” (2009):
Sure, the phenomenon existed long
before this horror movie came out
last year, but this is a film that really
capitalized on the power of Twitter
and cheap online promotion, that
rode a wave of excited, instanta-
neous word-of-mouth. The movie
itself had a pretty simple concept: It
created the sensation that we were
watching actual home video, shot in
a bedroom overnight to capture
whatever demon was haunting its
young, female hero. It only cost
about $10,000 to make, opened in
just a few theaters at first to generate
even more curiosity, and went to
gross nearly $108 million. Hence, a
year later, we have a sequel.
“The Blair Witch Project”
(1999): The mother of them all. Just
saying the words “Blair Witch”
serves as an instant shorthand:
People know exactly what you
mean. The gimmick, in case you’ve
forgotten, is that we were supposed-
ly watching the real, final footage of
a trio of friends who entered the
woods to make a documentary
about the legendary Blair Witch.

answer.
The nationwide effort that is
Purple Shirt Wednesday shows
them that there are other people
that can help them through the pain
and lead them on the path to heal-
ing for which they have been
searching.
There has been some questioning
as to the effectiveness of such a
gesture and how it can further such
a cause. Some say that the deaths of

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
“Japanesque: The Japanese Print in the Era of
Impressionism” at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor Museum
introduces audiences to the development of the Japanese print
over two centuries (1700–1900) and reveals its profound influ-
ence on Western art during the era of Impressionism. Culled
primarily from the holdings of the Achenbach Foundation for
Graphic Arts, the exhibition of approximately 250 prints,
drawings and artists’ books complements the de Young
Museum’s current presentation of paintings from the Musée
d’Orsay, many of which are aesthetically indebted to concepts
of Japanese art.
The Legion’s chronological showing of the Japanese print
in Edo (present-day Tokyo) begins with early black-and-white
woodcuts and hand-colored woodcuts. They are followed by
delicate three- and four-color prints by early masters of ukiyo-
e such as Suzuki Harunobu and Kitagawa Utamaro that fea-
ture the courtesans and beauties of the “floating world.”
Landscape prints from the 1830s by Katsushika Hokusai and
And? Hiroshige are shown as examples of that important
Japanese genre.
A large group of works by European and American artists
of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras who were
influenced by the Japanese print includes pieces by Mary
Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Henri de Toulouse-
Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh and James Abbott McNeill
Whistler. The artists collected Japanese prints and often pro-
duced their own graphic work that, in composition, color and
imagery, borrowed directly from the Japanese aesthetic.
“Japanesque: The Japanese Print in the Era of
Impressionism” is organized by the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco under the curatorial direction of Karin Breuer,
curator-in-charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic
Arts. Breuer notes, “In organizing the Japanesque exhibition,
I realized that we may have a “first” in one of the galleries: It’s
possibly the first time that the 36 Views of Mount Fuji by
Hokusai (or at least the 31 views that we have on view) have
ever been seen in the same exhibition with a series of color
lithographs that was inspired by them — Henri Riviere’s 36
Views of the Eiffel Tower. Hokusai’s iconic color woodcuts
were done in the early 1830s and Riviere's were begun in the
late 1880s when artistic Paris was enthralled with all things
Japanese.”
The Legion of Honor Museum is located in Lincoln Park,
34th Avenue and Clement Street, San Francisco. Museum
hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.; closed
Monday. The Legion is celebrating Japanesque with a French
bistro menu in the Café, including brunch on Saturday and
Sunday, and weekend afternoon organ concerts. For informa-

Judge’s rehab ruling keeps Lohan comeback on hold

By Anthony McCartney
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS — New year,
new Lindsay Lohan?
That appears to be the hope of
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge
Elden S. Fox, who on Friday
ordered the starlet to remain in
rehab until January. In doing so he
ended any short-term plans for the
actress’ comeback, but also fol-
lowed the recommendations of
medical professionals who say the
“Mean Girls” star is only beginning
to realize the depths of her addic-
tion.
He also slyly removed one poten-
tial source of temptation and relapse.
“You’re staying past the New
Year’s — there’s a reason for that,”
Fox said.
Lohan, who was in court for her
fifth time since May, cried after
hearing the sentence for failing a
recent drug test.
The ruling allowed Lohan to avoid
a fourth trip to jail, but it wasn’t
exactly the outcome the actress was
hoping for in advance of the hearing.
Lohan’s probation report states
she told an officer last week that she
hoped to be released from the Betty
Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage,
Calif. after one month and cited
financial worries. She told the offi-
cer that “continued inpatient treat-
ment would be a hardship financial-
ly, and damaging to her career,”
according to the report.
The 20-acre addiction treatment
hospital is not cheap — three
months of inpatient treatment can
cost nearly $50,000, according to its
website.

How to avoid bedbugs when you’re in a hotel
By Beth J. Harpaz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Worried about bedbugs on
your next hotel stay? The mere mention of the
critters probably makes you itchy. Here are
some common questions about travel and bed-
bugs answered by bedbug expert Jody L.
Gangloff-Kaufmann, urban entomologist in the
integrated pest management program at Cornell
University.
AP: How do you inspect a hotel room for
bedbugs?
JGK: Experts say that inspection of the mat-
tress under the sheets is good, but you’re even
more likely to find bedbugs in less disturbed
places like the box spring and the headboard, so
I make some effort to inspect these areas. I’m
not especially paranoid so I don’t go crazy
inspecting. But even rooms that appear clean
have been found to harbor bedbugs behind the
headboard. And most headboards are mounted
on the wall with hooks and can be lifted off and
removed or replaced. Places where the box
spring meets the frame are good; crevices are

favorite hiding spots. And I always look
between the mattress and box spring by lifting
the mattress. The fecal stains are what to look
for primarily, although they could be old. If
those are found, it’s a strong indication to either
do a very thorough inspection or change rooms.
AP: Does keeping your luggage in the hotel
bathroom really help protect it from bedbugs?
JGK: I keep my luggage off the bed and
more towards the door. My theory is that when
luggage or belongings are placed and left on the
bed overnight, and bedbugs sense a person and
become active, they may feed, then run and
hide in the closest crevice available ... which
might just happen to be a suitcase. They are not
attracted to suitcases, but suitcases provide suit-
able habitats for bedbugs that come across
them.
AP: Would it help to sleep inside a silk sleep
sack, mosquito netting, or sleeping bag, assum-
ing you could launder the bedding before bring-
ing it home?
JGK: It might prevent a person from getting
bitten if there were bedbugs in the hotel room.

even if one takes precautions of laundering

AP: A number of products claim to repel
bedbugs. Has any product been found to be
effective?
JGK: The only thing that was studied and
published in a peer-reviewed journal was stan-
dard insect repellents versus bedbugs. They
found evidence that DEET is repellent to bed-
bugs. It makes sense that other botanicals might
be repellant as well, but none is foolproof
because you can’t possibly cover your whole
body or your entire environment with an even
layer of the scent. Plus given a no-choice situa-
tion, bedbugs will likely brave it and get their
meal. Also all these repellents wear off over
time, so by 4 a.m., you might no longer be pro-
tected, and that’s usually when they like to feed
anyway.

the death of one individual soon became lost
among the news of countless other suicides,
homicides and other deaths that cycle

possible for luggage to get infested in a cargo
hold?
JGK: All a person needs to do is bring home
one “gravid” female bedbug (fertilized and
ready to lay eggs) and an infestation could
begin. ... Females wander and can get into your
personal belongings in any situation, movie the-
ater or cargo hold. Your luggage wouldn’t
become infested, it just might contain a gravid
female. If a person picked up a nymph (juve-
nile) only, they might get bitten but would not
start an infestation.
AP: Are bedbugs truly a widespread problem
in the hotel industry or is this a lot of hype?
JGK: It’s pretty common to find bedbugs in
hotel rooms. So many people I know have —
my boss, my parents, New York City schools

never found a bedbug in my travels. ... I think
there are false reports and there is definitely

forefront against this type of discrimination.
At times I feel like I take this for granted and
fail to acknowledge how many other parts of
the country are not nearly as open-minded.
While growing up, I taught myself that it is
not justified to immediately judge or discrim-
inate against an individual because of their
ethnicity or even their sexual orientation. I
find the only way to truly judge somebody as
person is to get to know him or her first and
treat him or her fairly just like everybody
else. As a result, I have made a large number
of friends whether they be white, black,
Asian, Latino, straight, gay or otherwise.
Only this kind of willingness to accept peo-
ple for who they are can lead us to greater
peace and respect for the people of the
world.

from a guarantee that the line will not be
re-established.
“People are nervous; not just the peo-
ple who necessarily have to do a

the area get jumpy due to certain noises
like a plane overhead. “This will not just
be a rebuild of vacant lots. We have a
psychological rebuild of our entire

Searching for an alternative site

Yee. Alternatives have yet to be identi-

“If you move that pipe, you have to
move it somewhere else. Reaction to the
relocation will also be problematic. We
made a commitment to PG&E to work
with regulatory bodies to try and find
that accommodation,” said Yee.
PG&E spokeswoman Katie Romans
confirmed the company hopes to not
rebuild in the San Bruno location but
noted other entities like state and federal

“Where we move it is a decision that
will not be made alone,” she said.

Chase hopes the story encourages

Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said the steep sentencing
range is a primary reason why his office
agreed to settle the case rather than try
again for more convictions.
Idris’ trial came 17 years after prose-
cutors say he molested four girls
between January 1988 and July 1993
while living in his friends’ Pacifica
home. The girls were friends of the cou-
ple’s young daughter. After Pacifica
police began investigating Idris, he fled

into an out-of-bounds area of the park and
returned to the path. A chaperone told
him to stay on the path, Coleman wrote.
His friends tried to calm Cho down but
were met with anger. Shortly after, Cho
reportedly went over a second barrier. He
“fell down the side of the cliff and came
to rest in the ravine below,” Coleman
wrote.
“Cho went over the barrier on the look-
out platform under his own power. In
spite of the many warning signs and high
barriers, Cho had earlier been seen going
over similar barriers in a different loca-

he did not,” Constable Michael

major cities nationwide. In most places,
no one thought twice about them.
“Snakes on a Plane” (2006): It’s
exactly what you think: a thriller about
snakes ... on a plane. Just the title alone
promised a campy good time, a throw-
back to star-studded disaster action
pictures like the 1970s “Airport”
movies. Adding to the fun, fans who
saw the movie early urged the film-
makers to keep a crucial Samuel L.
Jackson line in the script with a partic-
ularly colorful 12-letter word — and
they got their wish. It’s a hugely
crowd-pleasing moment, and watching
the movie with a giant crowd was the
best way to do it. But people talked
about the movie more than they actual-
ly went to see it.
During trial, Chase argued the now-
adult alleged victims had no corroborat-
ing evidence.
Jurors deliberated seven days before
announcing they were helplessly dead-
locked 11-1 in favor of guilt on the
majority of charges. Two days prior, the
jury had returned verdicts of guilty on
nine charges of felony lewd acts with a
child by force or threat and one count of
lewd and lascivious behavior. A remain-
ing count was dismissed after jurors
returned both guilty and not guilty
forms.

retrial decision was predicated on what
sentence was being considered.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
THELMA FRASCHIERI
Case Number 120518
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Thelma Fraschieri aka
Themla June Fraschieri. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by: Deborah Ann
Duvauchelle in the Superior Court of Cal-
ifornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion of Probate requests that Deborah
Ann Duvauchelle be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedent’s will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 17, 2010
at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

ROBOTS
Continued from page 1
and construction.
“Everyone has a chance to work on some-
thing that they’re interested in,” said 17-year-
old Vivian Coronado, a senior who joined the
team last year.
Sixteen-year-old Tim Li, also a senior,
enjoyed how well all the people work togeth-
er to figure out the new challenge presented
every year.
Travis Smith, 17, manages the electronics
team and finds the experience to be fun and
challenging.
Each year, teams face a different game pre-
senting unique challenges in the FIRST (For
Inspiration and Recognition of Science and
Technology) Robotics competitions. Last
year, the robot had to play soccer while navi-
gating two large bumps across the width of
the field. Teams got a bonus if the robot could
suspend itself by a “chin-up bar” at the end of
the match.
Teams start designing the bot in January
and are given a six-week build period to get
things done. All teams, nationwide, must ship
the robots by the same time to ensure no one
has extra time to work. Teams must fix dam-
age from an earlier competition just prior to
the start of the next tournament.
For students, this activity offers a hands-on
learning opportunity not offered in the class-
room. For mentors, it’s a chance to share a
topic about which they are passionate.
LOCAL/WORLD
“There’s not a lot of opportunity in educa-
tion for failure,” said Michael Patterson,
chemistry teacher who oversees SWAT
Robotics, made up of Serra and Mercy high
schools students. “We present everything to
be successful. In the real world, you make
your best plan and then you got to figure out
why it didn’t work.”
Robotics allows students the opportunity to
work through that kind of problem-solving
situation, he explained. The process can be
frustrating to teens who haven’t had much
experience with that kind of trial and error.
It all starts with basic training. Sixteen of
the 37 students in SWAT are freshman, which
means everything about robotics is new.
Students start with small robot kits with pre-
dictable outcomes and capabilities.
“For kids, a big part of motivating them is
relevance. They figure out what parts they
need, go online and figure it out. It’s all very
practical. It’s like they learn because they
want to figure things out,” said Patterson.
That learning experience is also enjoyed by
mentors who partner with the local high
school programs.
Laura Rhodes, a mentor for Team 100,
which has students from Woodside, Carlmont
and Sequoia high schools, began working
with the robotics group when her son was a
freshman. He is now a senior at the University
of California at Los Angeles.
“We always have room for possible mentors
and corporate sponsorship,” she said, and her
team is not alone.
Rhodes noted the individuals don’t need to
have tech-specific skills, although people with
a machine shop, engineering or computer pro-

French Senate passes pension overhaul
By Elaine Ganley
and ALexis Duclos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Under pressure from the
government, the French Senate voted
Friday to raise the retirement age from
60 to 62, a victory for President Nicolas
Sarkozy after days of street rage, acri-
monious debate and strikes that dried up
the supply of gasoline across the coun-
try.
The vote all but sealed passage of the
highly unpopular measure, but it was
unlikely to end the increasingly radical-
ized protests. The coming days promised
more work stoppages and demonstra-
tions by those who feel changing the
retirement age threatens a French
birthright.
Sarkozy made overhauling the money-
losing pension system a centerpiece of
his project to modernize France.
Undaunted by weeks of strikes, he
ordered measures to unblock fuel depots
and refineries to get gas flowing again to
desperate motorists.
“History (will remember) who spoke
the truth,” Sarkozy declared during a
visit Friday to a factory in central
France. “What do you expect of a presi-
dent? That he tells the truth and does
what must be done.”
Senators applaud France’s Labor Minister Eric Woerth,center,as he leaves after the
vote at the French Senate on the government’s pension reform bill in Paris.
With about a quarter of gas stations on
empty — down from a third earlier in
the week — motorists have been forced
to reinvent their lives, particularly at the
start of a school vacation period
Saturday.
Hours before Friday’s vote, riot police
forced the reopening of a strategic refin-

ery to help halt crippling fuel shortages.
The impact on the crucial energy sec-
tor was an ominous specter for whole
sectors of the economy. Employment
Minister Laurent Wauquiez said this
week that 1,500 jobs have been lost daily
since the strikes began in earnest on Oct.
12.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Around the world
Cholera epidemic spreads in rural Haiti; 150 dead
ST. MARC, Haiti — A cholera epidemic was spreading in
central Haiti on Friday as aid groups rushed doctors and sup-
plies to fight the country’s deadliest health crisis since
January’s earthquake. At least 150 people have died and more
than 1,500 others are ill.
The first two cases of the disease outside the rural Artibonite
region were confirmed in Arcahaie, a town that is closer to the
quake-devastated capital, Port-au-Prince.
Officials are concerned the outbreak could reach the squalid
tarp camps where hundreds of thousands of quake survivors
live in the capital.
“It will be very, very dangerous,” said Claude Surena, presi-
dent of the Haitian Medical Association. “Port-au-Prince
already has more than 2.4 million people, and the way they are
living is dangerous enough already.”
Scores of patients lay on the floor awaiting treatment at the
St. Nicholas hospital in the seaside city of St. Marc, some of
them brushing away flies on mattresses stained with human
feces.
Austrian with high-tech robot arm dies after crash
VIENNA — In the five years since losing both arms in an
accident, Christian Kandlbauer had regained much of his cher-
ished independence thanks to a high-tech, mind-controlled
robotic limb. He even got a driver’s license.
Now the 22-year-old has died of injuries suffered when the
car he was driving veered off the road and struck a tree. The
cause of the crash is unknown — including whether the arm
had anything to do with it.
“Don’t live for others, live for yourself!” Kandlbauer had
written on his website, which on Friday was filled with condo-
lences after hospital officials in the southern city of Graz said he
did not recover from injuries sustained in Tuesday’s accident.
