SAN FRANCISCO A Giant dose
of small ball, and suddenly San
Francisco nds itself in a most unique
position way ahead in a postseason
series.
Madison Bumgarner shut down the
Detroit Tigers for seven innings, then the
Giants took advantage of a bunt that
stayed fair to eke out the go-ahead run in
a 2-0 win Thursday night for a 2-0 edge
in the World Series.
Gregor Blancos single trickled to a
stop inches fair on the ineld dirt, setting
up Brandon
Crawfords run-scor-
ing double-play
grounder in the sev-
enth. Hunter Pence
added a sacrice y
in the eighth, and
that was plenty for
the Giants.
Game 3 will be
Saturday night in
Detroit and for once,
the masters of the October comeback
arent playing from behind. The Giants
overcame a 2-0 decit to beat Cincinnati
in the best-of-ve division series and
escaped a 3-1 hole against St. Louis in
the NLCS.
The loss certainly left the favored
Tigers wondering what else could go
wrong. Prince Fielder was thrown out at
the plate by a hair and moments later
starting pitcher Doug Fister was struck
squarely in the head by a line drive.
The 6-foot-8 Fister managed to stay
on the mound, and even excelled.
Bumgarner more than matched him,
however, allowing just two hits before
the San Francisco bullpen closed it out
before another pulsating crowd.

Kennedy Middles test scores
rise and a promise is kept
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Kennedy Middle School Principal
David Paliughi placed a garbage bag over
his clothing with the help of Vice Principal
Christine Hiltbrand.
It was the last step before the crowds of
students would gather at the Redwood
City middle school during lunch. He was-
nt donning the black bag as a fashion
statement or to keep from getting wet.
Paliughi made a promise to his students
last year. If they increased tests scores by
at least 40 points, he would shave his head.
Challenge accepted and surpassed.
Thursday it was time for Paliughi to make
good on his promise.
Are you sure you want to do this? a
student yelled from behind caution tape as
Paliughi took his seat.
There was no turning back. Paliughi,
who joined the school last year, came with
a goal of making changes. He wanted to
boost scores but also help pique the inter-
est in students to get involved in the

Shark falls from
sky onto golf course
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO Golf
club employees in Southern California
came to the rescue when a shark dropped
out of the sky and opped around on the
12th tee.
San Juan Hills Golf Club operations
director Melissa McCormack says a
course marshal found the leopard shark
Monday afternoon and brought it to the
clubhouse. It had puncture wounds where
it appeared a bird had snagged it from the
Pacic Ocean, about ve miles away.
They stuck the approximately 2-pound
shark into fresh water before somebody
remembered it came from the sea, so they
got some sea salt from the kitchen and
mixed it in.
Another employee rushed the shark to
the ocean where McCormack says it was
very still for a few seconds before twist-
ing around and speeding off.
Study: Male beluga
whale mimics human speech
SAN DIEGO It could be the muf-
ed sound of singing in the shower or that
sing-songy indecipherable voice from the
Muppets Swedish Chef.
Surprisingly, scientists said the audio
they captured was a whale imitating peo-
ple. In fact, the whale song sounded so
eerily human that divers initially thought
it was a human voice.
Handlers at the National Marine
Mammal Foundation in San Diego heard
mumbling in 1984 coming from a tank
containing whales and dolphins that
sounded like two people chatting far
away.
It wasnt until one day, after a diver sur-
faced from the tank and asked, Who told
me to get out? did researchers realize the
garble came from a captive male Beluga
whale. For several years, they recorded its
spontaneous sounds while it was under-
water and when it surfaced.
An acoustic analysis revealed the
human-like sounds were several octaves
lower than typical whale calls. The
research was published online Monday in
Current Biology.
Scientists think the whales close prox-
imity to people allowed it to listen to and
mimic human conversation. It did so by
changing the pressure in its nasal cavities.
After four years of copying people, it
went back to sounding like a whale, emit-
ting high-pitched noises. It died ve years
ago.
Dolphins and parrots have been taught
to mimic the patterns of human speech,
but its rare for an animal to do it sponta-
neously.
The study is not the rst time a whale
has sounded human. Scientists who have
studied sounds of white whales in the
wild sometimes heard what sounded like
shouting children. Caretakers at the
Vancouver Aquarium in Canada previ-
ously said they heard one of the white
whales say its name.
Georgia store offers
gun raffle tickets to voters
ATLANTA Want a chance to win a
rie or handgun? Go vote. Thats the
message from an Atlanta-area sporting
goods store.
The promotion caught the attention of
the secretary of states ofce last week
and drew a complaint from a state senator
who said it may break the law.
Georgia law prohibits anyone from giv-
ing or receiving money or gifts in
exchange for voting, and felony charges
could be brought if the law were broken,
Secretary of State Brian Kemp said in a
statement.
Eight billboards for Adventure
Outdoors urge people to bring in their I
voted sticker to enter a rafe for a Glock
handgun or Browning rie. The secretary
of states ofce warned the store owner
that offering the rafe only to people who
voted may be violating the law.
Store owner Jay Wallace said the rafe
was open to anyone, even those who
dont vote.
Getting people involved is what its all
about, Wallace said Wednesday. I
would encourage other businesses to do
the same thing.
No action will be taken as long as
Wallace allows anyone to enter the con-
test, said Jared Thomas, a spokesman for
the secretary of states ofce.

Starting today, the public can see for itself
the opening of the countys rst mail-in bal-
lots for the Nov. 6 election as ofcials begin
the arduous task of verifying if each vote is
valid for counting.
With 55.6 percent of San Mateo County
voters routinely preferring to vote by mail
rather than at a physical polling location, the
seven-day jump on mail ballot processing
gives the Elections Ofce a signicant head
start on compiling the rst Election Night
results. Mark Church, the countys chief elec-
tions officer and assessor-county clerk-
recorder, said the nal week also gives the
public a peek into how an election comes
together.
Alongside the absentees, the ofce is still
processing new voter registrations, training
workers and packing up equipment for the 343
precincts.
This is a very exciting time to visit,
Church said.
State law allows ofcials to open the return
envelopes containing the
mail ballots starting seven
business days before an
election but the voting
marks themselves cannot
be tabulated until after the
polls close at 8 p.m. Nov.
6. Instead, the ballot is dig-
itally scanned and the
results stored for future
tallying.
Before any of that hap-
pens, though, elections ofcials must rst ver-
ify each voters qualication and signature on
the outside of the envelopes. Ballots with
missing or bad signatures or otherwise mis-
marked may be rejected and not counted.
In the November 2011 election, 478 ballots
were challenged out of 72,300 returned and,
in the June 2012 primary, 1,225 were chal-
lenged, said David Tom, deputy assessor-
county clerk-recorder.
Returning ballots in a timely manner will
eliminate a majority of the issues because vot-
ers who forget to sign the return envelope will
be contacted to come into the ofce to do so,
Tom said.
Ballots returned after Election Day cant be
resubmitted.
Absentee ballots can be mailed or dropped
off at any Elections Ofce, polling place or
city hall.
As of Oct. 15, San Mateo County has
348,218 registered voters. As with the state,
online registration has taken off in San Mateo
County particularly among the younger demo-
graphic. As of Friday, Oct. 12, the Elections
Ofce reported 10,232 people had registered
online. Of those, 2,538 were between ages 18
and 24 and 3,069 were between 25 and 34.
But dont think the more mature residents
didnt also take advantage of the new law
authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo.
Forty-one registrants were 85 years or older.
Those interested in observing a specic
process at the Elections Ofce should contact
Elections Supervisor Narda Barrientos at
312-5222 or nbarrientos@smcare.org. For
other election information including how to
vote by mail visit www.shapethefuture.org.

Those curious about what goes on behind the
scenes in a criminal investigation are invited to
tour the San Mateo County Coroners Ofce
and forensic laboratory yesterday and today.
The roughly hour-and-a-half tours walk visi-
tors through the various procedures forensic sci-
entists and coroners use to track down suspects,
match a gun to a shooting and other detective
work, forensic lab director Alex Karagianes
said.
The tours allow employees to tell people
what we do here, Karagianes said.
Karagianes said there are many myths based
on television shows about what a coroner or
forensic scientist does. The main misconcep-
tion, he said, is that people think computers do
everything. People think a computer tells us
the answer, he said. It really doesnt. It just
narrows down our search.
Once visitors see how much work goes into
solving crimes, they have more respect for
what we do, he said.
Popular parts of the tour include viewing the
gun collection at the lab and learning about dif-
ferent markings that guns leave behind.
Even if you are not a gun nut, (visitors) seem
to like that, Karagianes said.
The lab technicians also show participants
how they use static electricity to lift shoe prints
left on the ofce oor by unsuspecting visitors.
Additionally, they demonstrate the procedures
used to collect ngerprints and match DNA evi-
dence to a suspect.
Although it takes a lot of preparation to show-
case their forensic lab to the public, Karagianes
said the educational component of the tours is
important, noting that some participants are
local students. We show them a career that
math and science can lead to, he said.
Karagianes, who has been a forensic scientist
for nearly 30 years, said the lab and the
Coroners Ofce started hosting the tours about
four years ago in response to a number of
requests from those who wanted to see the facil-
ities.
The tours coincide with the Halloween sea-
son, and staff members have decorated the
ofces, including setting up a pirate ship in the
library, according to Karagianes.
Tours will be given every 10 minutes between
2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Friday at 50 Tower Road in
San Mateo. To reserve a spot call 312-5307.

Plans to sell KCSM-TV were halted
Wednesday when the San Mateo County
Community College District rejected all bids.
After struggling for years to eliminate the
$1 million operating decit for KCSM-TV, the
San Mateo County Community College
District decided to sell the station late last
year. Six bids were received by Feb. 14.
Negotiations with the two responsive highest
were not successful. As a result, the board
rejected all bids Wednesday. A study session
on next steps is planned for Wednesday, Nov.
14.
The move to sell the station came after near-
ly two years of struggling to cut the programs
$1 million operating decit. Of the six bids
received, the district moved forward with
negotiations with FM Media TV, Inc. and San
Mateo County TV Corporation. However, the
district was unable to reach agreements with
either.
KCSM-TV began operating in 1964 at its
current location at the College of San Mateo.
The non-commercial station broadcasts a vari-
ety of programs including television courses,
the numbers for which have dropped in recent
years in favor of online classes. Broadcasting,
as a program, was on hiatus for a couple of
years but returned more than a year ago with
all new digital gear.
The challenge for elected ofcials has been
the budget strain. In recent years, millions in
cuts have been made. Programs with low
enrollment were put on hiatus or discontinued
and the board adopted a core values focus.
As a result, programs not addressing the basic
needs of students need to be self-funded, per
the districts direction. KCSM-TV is one of
the programs which fell into this category.
A potential sale would include the station,
its lease to Sutro Tower and the transmitter as
well as equipment. Selling the television sta-
tion, however, would not impact KCSM FM
the district radio station which will contin-
ue to operate as JAZZ 91.1, according to the
district.

OAKLAND The city that became the
national epicenter for the Occupy movement
braced Thursday for a rally and march mark-
ing the day one year ago when protesters
were removed from an encampment on a
City Hall lawn, sparking the first of many
clashes with police.
Rally organizers have vowed to take back
the plaza and set up tents again, while
encouraging others to arm themselves with
unspecified tools of violence. Some
Occupy Oakland members publicly
denounced those tactics and urged the group
to get back to its main issues.
A rally and march were scheduled to begin
at 7 p.m.
This is not what the masses within the
movement want. We have to make our mes-
sage clearer, said Shake Anderson, a mem-
ber of Occupy Oaklands Media Collective.
We need to get back to the core of fighting
against economic inequality and social
injustice.
Meanwhile, an anonymous faction posted
fliers promising to attack anybody using the
rally to cause destruction through vandalism
and graffiti.

WASHINGTON All the spare parts
appear to be coming together to create
what forecasters are calling
Frankenstorm, a monster combination
of high wind, heavy rain, extreme tides
and maybe snow that could cause havoc
along the East Coast just before
Halloween next week.
Hurricane Sandy, having blown
through Haiti and Cuba on Thursday,
continues to barrel north. A wintry storm
is chugging across from the West. And
frigid air is streaming south from Canada.
And if they meet Tuesday morning
around New York or New Jersey, as fore-
casters predict, they could create a big
wet mess that settles over the nations
most heavily populated corridor and
reaches as far inland as Ohio.
With experts expecting at least $1 bil-
lion in damage, the people who will have
to clean it up arent waiting.
Utilities are lining up out-of-state work
crews and canceling employees days off
to deal with the power outages. From
county disaster chiefs to the federal gov-
ernment, emergency ofcials are warn-
ing the public to be prepared. And
President Barack Obama was briefed
aboard Air Force One.
Its looking like a very serious storm
that could be historic, said Jeff Masters,
meteorology director of the forecasting
service Weather Underground. Mother
Nature is not saying trick-or-treat. Its
just going to give tricks.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration forecaster Jim Cisco,
who coined the nickname
Frankenstorm, said: We dont have
many modern precedents for what
the models are suggesting.
Government forecasters said there is a
90 percent chance up from 60 percent
two days earlier that the East will get
pounded starting Sunday and stretching
past Halloween on Wednesday. Things
are expected to get messier once Sandy, a
very late hurricane in what has been a
remarkably quiet season, comes ashore,
probably in New Jersey.
Coastal areas from Florida to Maine
will feel some effects, but the storm is
expected to vent the worst of its fury on
New Jersey and the New York City area,
which could see around 5 inches of rain
and gale-force winds close to 40 mph.
Eastern Ohio, southwestern
Pennsylvania, western Virginia and the
Shenandoah Mountains could get snow.
And the storm will take its time leav-
ing. The weather may not start clearing
in the mid-Atlantic until the day after
Halloween and Nov. 2 in the upper
Northeast, Cisco said.
Its almost a weeklong, ve-day, six-
day event, he said from a NOAA fore-
cast center in College Park, Md. Its
going to be a widespread, serious storm.
It is likely to hit during a full moon,
when tides are near their highest, increas-
ing the risk of coastal ooding. And
because many trees still have their
leaves, they are more likely to topple in
the event of wind and snow, meaning
there could be widespread power outages
lasting to Election Day.
Eastern states that saw blackouts that
lasted for days after last years freak
Halloween snowstorm and Hurricane
Irene in late August 2011 are already
pressuring power companies to be more
ready this time.

Warrant for transient
accused of stabbing
A judge ordered a bench warrant for the arrest of 21-year-
old transient arrested in September in connection with a stab-
bing north of the San Mateo train station after he failed to
show up to court Thursday.
Dantes Mkrtchjan, who faces charges for assault with a
deadly weapon, was scheduled to appear in felony court for
arraignment. Mkrtchjan, who is out on $25,000 bail, did not.
As a result, the judge ordered a warrant for him and raised bail
to $45,000, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. This is the
second time Mkrtchjan failed to appear. He also failed to
appear for the preliminary hearing in September. As a result, a
$30,000 bench warrant was issued at the time.
Just after 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, there was a report of a
man who had been stabbed on the pedestrian footbridge con-
necting the north end of the downtown train station to the alley
behind 80 N. B St. The victim is expected to survive his injury,
according to police.
This is not the rst time Mkrtchjan has been arrested this
summer. He has two pending felony cases, according to
Wagstaffe. In July, Mkrtchjan was arrested for felony posses-
sion of narcotics for sales. He pleaded no contest to those
charges and is expected to be sentenced in October. Last
month, Mkrtchjan was arrested on two counts of felony auto
burglary.
Unprecedented black mold
meningitis posing challenge
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON The black mold creeping into the
spines of hundreds of people who got tainted shots for back
pain marks uncharted medical territory.
Never before has this particular fungus been found to
cause meningitis. Its incredibly hard to diagnose, and to kill
requiring at least three months of a treatment that can
cause hallucinations. Theres no good way to predict sur-
vival, or when its safe to stop treating, or exactly how to
monitor those who fear the fungus may be festering silently
in their bodies.
I dont think there is a precedent for this kind of thing,
said Dr. Arjun Srinivasan of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Health officials and doctors have tracked
down most of the 14,000 people potentially at risk for fun-
gal meningitis, blamed for the deaths of 24 people and sick-
ening more than 300.
This is definitely new territory for us, he said.

WASHINGTON The U.S. military
did not quickly intervene during the
attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya last
month because military leaders did not
have adequate intelligence information
and felt they should not put American
forces at risk, Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta said Thursday.
In his most extensive comments to date
on the unfolding controversy surrounding
the attack in Benghazi, Panetta said U.S.
forces were on heightened alert because
of the anniversary of 9/11 and prepared to
respond. But, he said, the attack hap-
pened over a few hours and was over
before the U.S. had the chance to know
what was really occurring.
(The) basic principle is that you dont
deploy forces into harms way without
knowing whats going on; without having
some real-time information about whats
taking place, Panetta told Pentagon
reporters. And as a result of not having
that kind of information, the commander
who was on the ground in that area, Gen.
Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very
strongly that we could not put forces at
risk in that situation.
Panetta was referring to Gen. Carter
Ham, the head of U.S. Africa Command,
and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In a letter to President Barack Obama
on Thursday, House Speaker John
Boehner questioned whether the White
House considered military options during
or immediately after the attack, and he
questioned what the president knew about
the security threats in the country. He said
that the national debate over the incident
shows that Americans are concerned and
frustrated about the administrations
response to the attack.
Can you explain what options were
presented to you or your staff, and why it
appears assets were not allowed to be pre-
positioned, let alone utilized? If these
reports are accurate, the articial con-
straint on the range of options at your dis-
posal would be deeply troubling,
Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote.
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and
three other Americans were killed in the
attack, which has become a heated cam-
paign issue less than two weeks before
the election. Republicans have criticized
the Obama administrations failure to
more quickly acknowledge that intelli-
gence suggested very early on that it was
a planned terrorist attack, rather than
spontaneous violence erupting out of
protests over an anti-Muslim lm.
House and Senate Republicans as well
as GOP presidential candidate Mitt
Romney have criticized President Barack
Obama and administration ofcials over
the response to the attack and whether
ofcials failed to provide enough security
at the consulate.
And there have been ongoing questions
about whether there should have been
additional military forces sent to the con-
sulate immediately after it became clear
that the Americans were under attack.
As the events were unfolding, the
Pentagon began to move special opera-
tions forces from Europe to Sigonella
Naval Air Station in Sicily. U.S. aircraft
routinely y in and out of Sigonella and
there are also ghter jets based in Aviano,
Italy. But while the U.S. military was at a
heightened state of alert because of 9/11,
there were no American forces poised and
ready to move immediately into Benghazi
when the attack began.

information on consulate attack

WASHINGTON Americans
are growing increasingly optimistic
about the future of the U.S. econo-
my, and likely voters trust
Republican Mitt Romney slightly
more than President Barack Obama
to do a better job of managing it, an
Associated Press-GfK poll shows.
On the cusp of an election offer-
ing stark choices on how best to
handle the economy, 60 percent of
Americans still describe the current
economic situation as poor, but
almost as many think things will get
better in the coming year. More vot-
ers expect the number of unem-
ployed to go down, too. Forty-two
percent anticipate improvement in
the jobs picture, up 10 percentage
points from a month ago.
For all of the shifting dynamics in
economic expectations and voters
growing comfort with Romney,
though, the presidential race is still
a virtual dead heat, with Romney
favored by 47 percent of likely vot-
ers and Obama by 45 percent, a
result within the polls margin of
sampling error.
And what matters most in the
election endgame is Romneys
standing in the handful of states
whose electoral votes still are up for
grabs. And polls in a number of
those battleground states still appear
to favor Obama.
After a commanding rst debate
performance and a generally good
month, Romney has gained ground
with Americans on a number of
important fronts, including his over-
all favorability rating and voters
impressions of his ability to under-
stand their problems. Hes also
sharply narrowed the gender gap,
with women now split evenly
between the two candidates and
Romney holding a slight edge
among men.
At the same time, expectations that
Obama will be re-elected have
slipped: Half of voters now expect the
president to win a second term, down
from 55 percent a month earlier.
Seventeen percent of likely voters
in the survey reported theyve
already cast ballots, a sharp
reminder to the candidates that they
have little time left to sway voters.
Among those yet to vote, the
economy is a recurring theme as
they explain their decisions:
Monica Jensen, a 55-year-old
independent from Mobile, Ala.,
says she voted for Obama in 2008
but will shift her vote to Romney
this time, largely because of the
economy.

CINCINNATI President
Barack Obama, seeking to shore up
support among women, intensied
his pressure Thursday on Mitt
Romney to break any ties with a
Republican Senate candidate who
said that if a woman becomes preg-
nant from rape it is something God
intended. Romney ignored the
emotional social issue, holding to
an optimistic campaign tone as he
fought for victory in crucial Ohio.
Obama, wrapping up a 40-hour
battleground state blitz, also headed
to his hometown of Chicago and
cast his ballot 12 days before
Election Day. The stopover was
more than a photo opportunity it
was a high-prole attempt to boost
turnout in early voting, a center-
piece of Obamas strategy.
The 2012 presidential contest was
expected to cross the $2 billion
fundraising mark Thursday, putting
the election on track to be the costli-
est in history. Its being fueled by a
campaign finance system vastly
altered by the proliferation of
super political action committees
that are bankrolling TV ads in
closely contested states.
Back on the campaign trail, the
president made repeated, though
indirect, references to Indiana
Republican Richard Mourdocks
controversial comment on rape and
pregnancy.
Weve seen again this week, I
dont think any male politicians
should be making health care deci-
sions for women, Obama told a
crowd of about 15,000 on an unsea-
sonably warm fall day in
Richmond, Va. The presidents
aides pressed further, using a web
video to highlight Romneys
endorsement of Mourdock and to
accuse the GOP nominee of kow-
towing to his partys extreme ele-
ments.
Romney, who appears in a televi-
sion advertisement declaring his
support for Mourdock, brushed
aside questions on the matter from
reporters throughout the day. He
centered his efforts instead on turn-
ing his campaigns claims of
momentum into a more practical
and ultimately necessary
roadmap to winning the required
270 Electoral College votes. Ohio is
crucial to that effort.
This election is not about me,
Romney told 3,000 people at a
southern Ohio manufacturing com-
pany. Its not about the Republican
Party. Its about America. And its
about your family.

WASHINGTON The 2012
presidential campaign was expected
Thursday to pass the $2 billion mark
in fundraising, according to account-
ing statements submitted to the gov-
ernment, thanks to an outpouring of
cash from both ordinary citizens and
the wealthiest Americans hoping to
inuence the selection of the coun-
trys next leader.
The eye-popping gure puts this
election on track to be the costliest in
history, fueled by a campaign nance
system vastly altered by the prolifera-
tion of super political committees
that are bankrolling a barrage of TV
ads in battleground states.
President Barack Obama and
Republican challenger Mitt Romney
had brought in more than $1.5 billion
through the end of September,
according to previous fundraising
reports submitted before the nal pre-
election accounting statements were
due Thursday night. Obama hadnt
yet disclosed his fundraising for early
October, but Romneys campaign
said it raised $111.8 million in the
rst two weeks. Added to that: more
than $230 million in donations
involving super PACs since 2011.
The largest of those were two pro-
Romney groups. American
Crossroads, a Republican-leaning
super PAC with ties to former
President George W. Bushs longtime
political counselor Karl Rove, report-
ed raising at least $68 million through
September. Restore Our Future,
founded by former Romney aides,
reported raising $110 million so far.
Priorities USA, a pro-Obama group
founded by two former aides to the
president, reported raising $50 mil-
lion through last month.
The $2 billion fundraising gure
doesnt include nearly $130 million
spent on political ads by non-prot
groups that arent required to le
campaign nance reports or disclose
their donors.

Arrest in 101 murder
An image from a red light cam-
era and an alert citizen led to the
arrest of a Hayward teen the week
of Oct. 26, 2007 for a fatal shoot-
ing on Highway 101 the prior
month.
Burlingame police arrested
Doyal Malcolm Webber, 18, in his
hometown of Hayward at 5:45 p.m.
of Wednesday of that week. Police
believe Webber pulled the trigger
of the gun that killed Londell
Wilson, 25, as he was driving north
on Highway 101 the evening of
Sept. 30, 2007. The fatal shooting
was a result of a "trafc alterca-
tion," said police.
Wilsons silver 1990 Honda
Accord crashed and landed in a
ditch at the side of the highway. He
was pronounced dead at San
Francisco General Hospital shortly
thereafter.
Parolee accused of
assault with Drano, fork
A Burlingame parolee took a
bottle of salad dressing, threw
Drano in the eyes of a Safeway
store manager and stabbed him six
times with a fork after the employ-
ee refused to let him borrow a cell-
phone and told him he had to pay
for the soda he drank, prosecutors
said the week of Oct. 26, 2007.
Thomas Waddell, 46, was
charged with maliciously throwing
a ammable substance, assault
with a deadly weapon and making
criminal threats stemming from the
alleged Oct. 22, 2007 event.
At 11: 23 p.m. that day in 2007,
Waddell reportedly entered the
Howard Avenue store and
approached the manager with a
bottle of Drano in one hand and a
fork stuck on the middle nger of
his other hand. The manager
reported that Waddell asked to bor-
row his cellphone and he refused.
Waddell walked out of the store
with a bottle of salad dressing but
returned and drank a can of 7-Up,
the manager said. After being told
he must pay for the soda, Waddell
allegedly threw the Drano at the
manager and stabbed him six times
with the fork before other employ-
ees pulled him off and called
police.

OPINION 9
Proposition 30: YES
Would raise sales tax a quarter
cent for four years and raise per-
sonal income tax on upper-income
California residents for seven years
to raise approximately $6 billion a
year through 2017, with smaller
amounts raised through 2019. The
proposition language states that the
money would be used to stave off
cuts to education. It also transfers
some state program responsibilities
to local governments. This propo-
sition is unpalatable because the
state Legislature chose to hold cuts
to education over voters heads
when education could have been
funded in the last budget cycle if
other, more difcult cuts were
made. However, the potential
impact to education is too great.
Vote yes.
***
Proposition 31: NO
This proposition instates a two-
year budget cycle and would give
the governor powers to make
budget cuts across the board if the
Legislature fails to act. It would
also allocate some state sales tax
money to local governmental bod-
ies such as school districts and
county health departments that
want to try new strategic action
plans. California Forward, a gov-
ernment reform advocacy group,
wrote this proposition. It includes
some good items, like the two-year
budget cycle and the ability for the
governor to make cuts. However, it
falls short of the groups initial
reform plan that failed to make the
ballot. The idea of having local
governments create new plans
funded by state money is intrigu-
ing since there could be some cre-
ativity involved, but there is a
strong feeling it would simply add
another layer of bureaucracy to an
already fat-laden system. We sug-
gest California Forward move
ahead with its original plan for
sweeping reform rather than this
piecemeal approach. Vote no.
***
Proposition 32: NO
This proposition would prohibit
political contributions by payroll
deductions by changing state cam-
paign nance laws to restrict state
and local campaign spending by
public and private sector labor
unions, corporations and govern-
ment contractors. Though it
includes corporations and govern-
ment contractors, the main aim of
this proposition is that of unions
and their support of certain politi-
cal causes. Most can agree that
union inuence is strong and that
their stances on certain issues is
not representative of all its mem-
bers. However, that is an issue for
the individual unions and change
to their policies should come from
its membership. Vote no.
***
Proposition 33: NO
This proposition allows auto
insurance companies to base their
prices in part on a drivers history
of insurance coverage. This is a
new proposition that was tried
before with Proposition 17 in
2010. It sounds good for the aver-
age auto insurance consumer. It
would allow policy holders to take
their history of auto insurance to
another company and not lose the
current discount. However, it also
would increase the amount it
would take to begin a new policy if
the driver had discontinued a poli-
cy for any reason including the
loss of a job of more than 18
months though those in active mil-
itary service would be exempt. It
would also prove to be pricey for
new drivers. Vote no.
***
Proposition 34: NO
This proposition would repeal
the death penalty in the state of
California and resentence those
currently sentenced to death to life
in prison without the possibility of
parole. It would also provide $100
million in grants to local law
enforcement agencies over the next
four years. The execution rate of
prisoners sentenced to death is
extremely low in California and
the cost of appeal process is high.
That should change. If you have a
moral issue with the death penalty,
then you should vote yes.
However, if your issue is with the
cost of the death penalty, then that
should be addressed and not
through a proposition. The death
penalty, when used effectively, can
be seen as a strong deterrent to
crime and is often used as leverage
in cases in which trials end in plea
deals which lowers the cost of
trials. In addition, it is unfair to the
families of victims of those sen-
tenced to death to see murderers
have their sentences reduced
through this proposition. Vote no.
***
Proposition 35: YES
This proposition expands the
denition of human trafcking,
increases the punishment for
human trafcking offenses, impos-
es new nes to fund services for
human trafcking victims, changes
how evidence can be used against
human trafcking victims and
requires additional law enforce-
ment training on handling human
trafcking cases. It also places
additional requirements on sex
offender registrants. Opponents say
that this proposition does not do
enough to help victims, however, it
tightens enforcement and creates
stronger sentencing guidelines for
those involved in this heinous
crime. That alone makes it worth
supporting. Vote yes.
***
Proposition 36: NO
This proposition would require
some criminals with two prior seri-
ous or violent felony convictions
who commit a non-serious, non-
violent felony to be sentenced to
shorter terms in state prison. Some
of these criminals currently serving
life sentences could be resentenced
to shorter prison terms. The idea
behind this proposition is to reduce
the cost of imprisoning non-violent
offenders with a history of violent
offenses and undo Proposition 184,
which created the three strikes
law in 1994. Though some often
point to egregious cases in which a
third strike is for minor crimes
such as stealing a slice of pizza,
more often than not, they are part
of a history of serious criminal
behavior. Judges also have discre-
tion and could choose not to con-
sider prior felonies in sentencing.
In San Mateo County, this happens
quite a bit. Judges are elected to
use their judgment, this proposi-
tion would take away a critical
sentencing tool. Vote no.
***
Proposition 37: NO
This proposition requires that
most genetically engineered food
be properly labeled when sold,
requires the Department of Public
Health to regulate the labeling of
such food and allows individuals
to sue food manufacturers who
violate the measures labeling pro-
visions. On the surface, this propo-
sition sounds great. After all, we
all want to know what is in our
food and how it is manufactured.
However, the stipulation that indi-
viduals can sue manufacturers even
without proof of harm makes this a
Pandoras box of litigation that
could tie up our vital court servic-
es. We would rather have these
requirements be hammered out in
the state Legislature and regula-
tions and violations overseen by
the Department of Health. Vote no.
***
Proposition 38: NO
This proposition would raise
personal income tax for a large
range of incomes beginning with a
single ler making $7,316 a year
and arc higher for those making
more than $2.5 million a year. It
would result in an estimated $10
billion in additional revenue for
schools and would be guaranteed
funding. However, that could mean
state legislators could simply
reduce its funding, resulting in a
net gain of zero. And most of the
benet would not go into effect
this scal year so schools would
still have to continue with plans
for drastic cuts right now. Vote no.
***
Proposition 39: NO
This proposition would disallow
multistate businesses from choos-
ing the method for determining
their state tax that is most advanta-
geous for them. Some businesses
that operate in California and other
states would pay more corporate
income tax because of this change.
It is estimated that the change
would generate more than $500
million in additional revenue that
this proposition requires to go into
a Clean Energy Job Creation Fund
for ve scal years. The proposi-
tion also states that some of the
additional income would cause an
increase in education funding.
However, the state currently col-
lects about $500 million in revenue
from multistate businesses and this
proposition would earmark that
same amount toward this new
clean energy job fund. Clean ener-
gy is important, but so is the
states bottom line. By earmarking
this amount for such an endeavor,
it hamstrings the states ability to
meet its budget. If loopholes are to
be closed, it would make more
sense to bring that money back to
the state for any budget need,
including education. Vote no.
***
Proposition 40: YES
This proposition afrms proposi-
tions 11 and 20 passed by voters in
2008 and 2010, respectively. Both
propositions 11 and 20 created the
states Citizens Redistricting
Commission. A yes vote on this
proposition afrms the previous
votes and allows the current state
Senate district boundaries as certi-
ed by the commission to contin-
ue. Vote yes.

Editorial
Recommendations on state propositions
Politics at the
dinner table
Quad-City Times, Davenport, Iowa
W
atch the presidential
debates and get a heavy
dose about whats wrong
with politic discourse in America.
Mitt Romney and President
Barack Obama tried to out-shout
each other, ignoring moderators
directives and plunging onward with
accusatory tones, gross distortions,
dismissive eye-rolls and a few snotty
asides. Terric theater. Lousy dis-
course.
And, according to education
researchers and psychologists, an
awful lesson for impressionable ears.
Fortunately, those same
researchers say a young persons
civic involvement is most heavily
inuenced by parental behavior, not
politicians or media sources. ...
Interestingly, that kind of parental
involvement showed results regard-
less of the familys ethnicity, income,
education or employment. While
pundits often ascribe political differ-
ences based on those factors, this in-
depth research afrms the opposite.
Constructive political conversation in
the home elevates civic involvement
no matter who you are or where
youre from.
Encouraging open exchange of
political thoughts leads to better criti-
cal thinking.
Family communication patterns
that involve parents encouraging
children to express political opinions
are usually better oriented toward
public affairs.
When parents lecture and empha-
size deference to only their opinions,
researchers nd kids less critical of
political claims and more likely to
passively accept others opinions.
Households where kids hear multiple
viewpoints and are asked their opin-
ion, produce curious kids who form
their own opinions, and most impor-
tantly, act on them.

NEW YORK A weak showing in
home sales and a mixed batch of earn-
ings reports kept stocks ipping between
minor gains and losses on Wall Street.
By the end of the day, the major indexes
managed to eke out their second day of
gains this week.
A strong prot report from Procter &
Gamble helped indexes start higher early
Thursday, but stocks weakened in late
morning trading after a realtor group
said that the pace of contracts for new
home sales had leveled off.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 26.34 points to close at
13,103.68.
This is a market still working through
a difcult earnings season, said Jason
Pride, the director of investment strategy
for Glenmede, a wealth-management
rm.
Pride said investors probably celebrat-
ed too much after the Federal Reserve
pledged more support for the economy
in early September. They overlooked
shrinking economies in Europe, slower
growth in China and other signs that this
earnings season would be rough. In the
past two weeks, theyve paid for it.
We had a party and now were deal-
ing with a hangover, he said. The mar-
ket is basically back to where it was at
the end of August. I dont think thats
unreasonable.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 rose 4.22 points to 1,412.97 and the
Nasdaq gained 4.42 points to 2,986.12.
A recent round of weak corporate
earnings from tech giants and industrial
companies has shaken investors accus-
tomed to steadily rising prots. Weak
revenue numbers and lowered prot pro-
jections from Caterpillar, 3M and
Google have rattled the stock market.
After two days in which the Dow has
dropped more than 200 points in the past
week, the average of 30 big companies is
now down 2.5 percent for October.
Among companies reporting earnings
Thursday, infant formula maker Mead
Johnson Nutrition plunged 9 percent
after its revenue came in well below
what Wall Street analysts had expected.
The company also cut its forecast for
full-year earnings. Its stock slumped
$5.98 to $63.53.
Prots at United Airlines slid with
fewer people ying, and the companys
results fell short of Wall Streets fore-
casts. Its stock lost $1.01 to $19.26.

NEW YORK Apple has a new
iPhone, two new iPads and three new
PCs as it heads into the holiday quarter,
the biggest selling season of the year.
But, paradoxically, it expects these new
gadgets to bring down its prots com-
pared to last year.
The reason: the new gadgets are
expensive to make, Apple executives
said Thursday, and the company is not
interested in cutting corners for the sake
of short-term returns.
On top of the holiday-quarter warning,
the company reported earnings for its
just-ended quarter that missed Wall
Streets expectations for the second
quarter in a row something that has-
nt happened in more than a decade.
In part, the issues facing Apple are a
normal consequence of having so many
new products, said Chief Financial
Officer Peter Oppenheimer. When a
production line is new, it costs more to
run and the components are more
expensive.
The difference this time is the sheer
number of products were introducing at
a short time, Oppenheimer told analysts
on a call Thursday.
But Oppenheimer also singled out the
iPad Mini, the new, smaller version of
the iPad the company unveiled Tuesday.
It starts at $329, well above the $199
competitors charge for similar products.
Apples price is aggressive, with a
margin well below its other products,
Oppenheimer said.
When we set out to build the iPad
Mini, we didnt set out to build a small,
cheap tablet, we set out to build a small-
er iPad that offered the full iPad experi-
ence Oppenheimer said.
Apple expects a gross prot margin of
36 percent in the current quarter, the
lowest gure in at least four years. In the
holiday quarter last year, its gross mar-
gin was 44.7 percent.
Apple warns of holiday earnings drop
EXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS:
Apple expects its prot to decline this
holiday season,compared to last year.
Its usually conservative in its forecasts,
but its sending a strong signal to Wall
Street to bring down its estimates.
THE BACKGROUND:
Apple has announced a record
number of new devices for the season,
including an iPhone and two iPads.
New gadgets are more expensive to
make than ones that been on the
production lines for a long time.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
For the just-ended scal fourth
quarter,Apple Inc.earned $8.2 billion,
or $8.67 per share. That was up 24
percent from a year ago.Revenue rose
27 percent to $36 billion.

Microsoft launched a radical redesign
of its world-dominating Windows oper-
ating system Thursday, introducing a
touch-enabled interface that attempts to
bridge the gap between personal com-
puters and fast-growing mobile devices
powered by the companys ercest com-
petitors.
The debut of Windows 8 heralded the
biggest change to the system since 1995,
when the company rst offered built-in
Internet support. And with so much rid-
ing on it, the overhaul could be
Microsofts most important product
since co-founder Bill Gates won the con-
tract to build an operating system for
IBM Corp.s rst PC in 1981.
To succeed, the new version will have
to be innovative and elegant enough to
attract consumers whove fallen in love
with notebook computers, tablets and
smartphones running software from
Apple and Google.
What you have seen and heard should
leave no doubt that Windows 8 will shat-
ter the perceptions about what a PC real-
ly is, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
crowed at a New York event to kick off
the Windows promotional campaign.
The rst PCs and other devices run-
ning Windows 8 were to go on sale
Friday.
The software is designed for use on a
variety of machines desktop PCs,
notebook computers and tablets, includ-
ing Microsofts new Surface tablet, the
rst computing device the company has
manufactured after focusing almost
exclusively on software for more than 30
years.
Windows 8 to bridge gap between PC, mobile devices
WASHINGTON Companies are
holding off on purchases of computers,
industrial equipment and other long-last-
ing manufactured goods, a trend thats
slowing the U.S. economy.
A fourth straight month of lackluster
corporate spending led many economists
on Thursday to trim their forecasts for
growth in the July-September quarter.
The government will issue its rst esti-
mate of third-quarter growth Friday, the
last snapshot of overall economic activity
before the presidential election.
The troubling report on business con-
dence overshadowed a drop in applica-
tions for unemployment aid and a slight
increase in the number of people who
signed contracts to buy homes.
Orders for durable goods, products
expected to last at least three years, rose
9.9 percent in September, the Commerce
Department said. But most of the increase
was driven by a spike in aircraft orders,
which are volatile and plummeted in the
previous month.
Economists pay closer attention to core
capital goods, which include machinery
and computers but exclude aircraft.

For the second straight week, the
San Mateo High football team nds
itself in a make-or-break game.
Last Friday, the Bearcats dominated
Mills 35-3 to run their record to 3-0
and take one step closer to their rst
league title in three seasons.
But standing in between them and a
4-0 league mark is a 2-0 ball club in
Capuchino, which is just as hungry
and has one of the top statistical run-
ning backs in the state on its roster
Justin Ewing.
This weeks Daily Journal Game of
the Week has all the makings of a
championship battle. And seriously,
what more can you ask for?
That would be huge for us, said
San Mateo head coach Jeff Scheller of
a potential win. Thats the goal for
everybody. I think these guys we
have, most of them only won one
game in three years. And now they
might win four in a row. There is
nowhere youd rather be in than a
game that has something on the line.
The fact that its relative is exciting.
Our guys know that every game is
a championship game in the Lake
Division, said Capuchino head coach
Adam Hyndman. So were not treat-
ing this game as anything that is more
important. For our kids, they know
they have to win ve straight games in
this division to win a championship.
Nothing is for sure, anything can hap-
pen week to week. Were going to go
and play our game. Our kids, weve
prepared them to be in the right posi-
tions and be successful. Come Friday

SAN FRANCISCO Gregor
Blancos bunt single dribbled about
halfway down the third base line and
stopped inches fair, next to the white
chalk. Several Tigers stood over the
ball, almost in disbelief.
The San Francisco Giants are getting
all the good bounces so far this World
Series, and theyre in control largely
because of them.
Blanco reached on that perfect bunt
in the seventh inning and the Giants
went ahead moments later on Brandon
Crawfords bases-loaded double-play
ball. San Francisco ended up beating
the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on Thursday
night in Game 2.
Blanco ran to rst as third baseman
and Triple Crown winner Miguel
Cabrera, catcher Gerald Laird and
Smyly converged on the ball but it settled
on the dirt a space of maybe six inch-
es between the chalk and the grass.
Now, because of plays like that, the
Giants are going to the Motor City for

The Peninsula Athletic League team tennis
tournament featured a pair of teams riding dif-
ferent waves of emotions.
Top-seeded Carlmont, a week ago, was
looking to avoid having to play in the tourna-
ment. The Scots were undefeated and just one
win from clinching at least a tie for the regu-
lar-season title. The team suffered losses to
Menlo-Atherton and Burlingame in back-to-
back matches, dropping them from the top
spot.
Third-seeded Aragon, on the other hand,
was riding high after knocking off a surging
Burlingame squad in the tournament semi-
nals Wednesday, which was the No. 2 seed in
the tournament.
During Thursdays championship match at
Carlmont, it was the Scots who grabbed the
PALs second automatic Central Coast Section
berth with a 6-1 win over the Dons, who will
attempt to grab an at-large bid at CCS.
I, personally, was seeing red. I was upset
[we] let some matches go that [we] shouldnt
have, said Carlmont coach Amina Doar
Halsey, reecting on last weeks pair of loss-
es. They fought hard today. They knew what
was on the line.
Following a 7-0 whitewash of No. 4 seed
Half Moon Bay in the other seminal match
Wednesday, the Scots continued their hot play
against Aragon. Carlmont won the rst four
matches to come off the court to seal the team
win, with Veronika Dvorak making quick
work of her opponent at No. 2 singles, win-
ning 6-0, 6-0. Tereza Dvorak and Pareesa
Darafshi did the same, winning at No. 3 and
No. 4 singles 6-2, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-3, respec-
tively.
Aragons Kaede Ishikawa salvaged one
point in the singles matches for the Dons,
knocking off Carlmonts Cori Sidell, but that
turned out to be the Dons only win of the day.
Kaede pulled her weight, said Aragon
coach Linda Brown. She had the toughest
road of anybody (in the tournament). She had
two tough days and she took them both.
Ishikawa knocked off Burlingames No. 1
singles player Alex Harrigan Wednesday
before beating Sidell Thursday.
Brown juggled her lineup prior to the start
of the tournament, taking her regular No. 2
and 3 singles players and moving them to No.
2 doubles, while her No. 3 doubles team was
broken up to ll the spots at No. 2 and 3 sin-
gles.
It worked to perfection against Burlingame
in the seminals. Not so much in the nals.
Carlmont is solid across the board, Brown
said. Its tough to ask singles players to play
doubles. It worked [Wednesday]. They tried
really hard (Thursday). They just didnt have
it.
In addition to winning the nal three singles
spots, the Scots also swept the three doubles
matches. Rachel Chen and Michelle Guans 6-
3, 6-1 win over Connie Ngirchemat and
Nicole Nasser at No. 3 doubles sealed the
team win for the Scots. Mary Farmar and
Cassidy Sobey needed a rst-set tiebreaker
but won in straight sets over Samantha Wong
and Aislinn Oka, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4. The upset of
the day came at No. 1 doubles, when Tarilyn
Won and Mar Burgueno, the No. 5 seed in the
upcoming PAL individual tournament,
knocked off Melissa Ma and Vickie Sun, the
top-seeded doubles team in the PAL tourna-
ment, 4-6, 6-4, (10-8).
We had a small stumble at the end (of the
regular season), but they came back and
proved themselves and thats what matters
most, Doar Halsey said. Overall, Im proud
of this team. They had a fantastic season and
Im looking forward to see how they do in
CCS.
While the Scots guaranteed themselves at
least one more match this season, Brown and
the Dons will have to hold their breath to see
if they have enough power points to qualify
for the section tournament.
We beat Burlingame to get here (to the
tournament nal), Brown said. Hopefully it
helps us with getting to CCS. I just hope we
have enough points.

Stern to retire as NBA
commissioner in 2014
NEW YORK David Stern spent nearly
30 years growing the NBA, turning a league
that couldnt even get its championship series
on live prime-time TV into a projected $5 bil-
lion a year industry.
Condent the NBA is in good shape and
certain he has found someone who can make
it even better, Stern is ready to end one of the
most successful and impactful careers in
sports history.
Stern will retire as commissioner Feb. 1,
2014, 30 years to the day after taking charge
of the league, and be replaced by Deputy
Commissioner Adam Silver.
I decided that things are in great shape and
theres an organization in place that will ulti-
mately be led by Adam that is totally prepared
to take it to the next level, Stern said
Thursday during a press
conference following the
leagues board of gover-
nors meeting.
Its hard to be any better
than Stern, perhaps the
model sports commission-
er.
Name an important poli-
cy in the NBA drug
testing, salary cap, even a
dress code and Stern had a hand in it. A
lawyer by trade, he was a fearless negotiator
against players and referees, but also their
biggest defender any time he felt they were
unfairly criticized.
For all the things youve done for the NBA
and for sports generally, I think theres no
doubt that youll be remembered as the best of
all-time as commissioners go and youve set
the standard, I think not even just for sports
league commissioners, but for CEOs in any
industry, Silver told Stern sitting to his left on
a podium.

On the heels of its best season in
school history, the Menlo College
baseball team is asking the Oaks of
the past to round third and head
home.
Menlo will host its Alumni Game
Saturday afternoon with all 40 of
the its players on the active roster in
attendance. The rst pitch for the
contest between current and former
Oaks is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
What I wanted to do is incorpo-
rate the alumni, many of which are
coming from out of town or they
might be staying with friends or for-
mer teammates, said Menlo head
coach Stefan McGovern, who heads
into his season at the helm of the
program. I wanted to incorporate a
fundraiser as well. Not only is it an
alumni event, but it will also inco-
porate a lot of the players friends
and families.
Following the game, The Patty
Shack in Redwood City will cater a
dinner at the Russel Center. And
that will be followed by the
fundraising poker tournament.
I think the more support that you
have, regardless of where it comes
from, it can only help, McGovern
said. We didnt have an alumni
game last year ... because I was a
new coach. Anything we can do as a
program to involve them (the neigh-
bors) and get to know them better
that way were just not that kids
that make noise. We want to make
sure they know theres a purpose
behind this. We have a great group
of guys and so were trying to incor-
pate the community as much as pos-
sible.
If it feels like a new era for Menlo
baseball its because it is. The Oaks
are fresh off their rst conference
championship in school history and
its first apperance in the NAIA
championship.
There denitely is, McGovern
said when asked if there was added
buzz surrounding the Oaks. Im
very excited about the new group I
have coming out this year as well as
the group we have returning.
Now theres a reason to get
excited because were just going to
continue to get better. And thats my
goal as a coach, he said. And to be
able to bring people that were here
back when things werent that way,
when Menlo was a middle of the
pack school and maybe baseball
wasnt that big of deal, to get them
to come back and see how far weve
come and to feel like theyve helped
the process, thats part of the deal.
The Oaks truly have come full cir-
cle. Thirty years ago, Menlo was
junior college in terms of athletics.
Theyve been everywhere from an
independent and conference-less
athletic institution and essentially
ineligible for postseason play, to
having players like Collin Forgey
and senior starting pitcher Joey
Webb picking up postseason
awards.
After the 9-inning game, players,
family and friends are encouraged
to relax before the 6 p.m. dinner.
First deal for the poker fundraiser
begins at 7 p.m. McGovern said hes
expecting 50 to 60 players in the
$40 buy-in tournament that covers
food and drink.
Current and former Oaks to go head to head
By Larry Lage
DETROIT Emanuel Steward, earnest yet
easygoing, proved rough and tough wasnt the
only way to win in boxing.
With a twinkle in his eyes, a smile on his face
and a soothing voice, Steward developed unique
bonds in and out of the ring with a long line of
champions that included Thomas Hearns, Lennox
Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya
and Wladimir Klitschko.
Steward, owner of the
Kronk Gym in Detroit and
an International Boxing Hall
of Fame trainer, died
Thursday. He was 68. His
executive assistant, Victoria
Kirton, said Steward died
Thursday at a Chicago hos-
pital. She didnt disclose the
cause of death.
It is not often that a person in any line of work
gets a chance to work with a legend, well I was
privileged enough to work with one for almost a
decade, Klitschko said Thursday. I will miss our
time together. The long talks about boxing, the
world, and life itself. Most of all I will miss our
friendship.
Steward, whose father was a coal miner and
mother was a seamstress, was born in West
Virginia. He got boxing gloves as a Christmas
present at the age of 8, the start of what would
become a long career in the sweet science.
He moved to the Motor City just before becom-
ing a teenager and trained as an amateur boxer at
Brewster Recreation Center, which once was the
home gym of Joe Louis.
Steward, at the age of 18, won the national
Golden Gloves tournament as a bantamweight.
Instead of trying to make it as a professional boxer,
he went to work for the Detroit Edison Co. and in
1971 accepted a part-time position as head coach
for $35 per week of the boxing program at
the Kronk Recreation Center.
A dynasty was born.
The Kronks rst professional champion was
Hilmer Kenty, a lightweight from Columbus,
Ohio, who started training there in 1978 and won
the WBA title two years later.
But It was Hearns who really put Kronk and
the trainer known as Manny on the map. The
boxer known as Hitman was the rst man to win
titles in four divisions he won ve overall
and topped his 155-8 amateur record by going 61-
5-1 with 48 knockouts as a pro.
Even though Steward had a lot of success with
Hearns, some of his setbacks from his corner were
among the most memorable in the sport. Hearns
was knocked out in the 14th round by Sugar Ray
Leonard in 1981 Steward said that was the
most painful experience of his life and Hearns
was on the short end of a three-round ght with
Marvin Hagler in 1985 that is considered one of
the best bouts in boxing history.

Amateur boxings international governing
body on Thursday lifted the three-month sus-
pension of USA Boxing that was imposed over
its response to several controversial statements
by its former president.
The International Boxing Associations
(AIBA) disciplinary commission leveled the
suspension last week, effectively canceling all
American amateur boxing competitions and
clinics until mid-January.
After USA Boxings new leadership appealed
to AIBA, asking the governing body to refrain
from punishing its 37,000 members for its
response to ex-president Hal Adonis incendiary
comments to the New Yorker magazine, USA
Boxing announced AIBA had allowed competi-
tions and clinics to resume.
It is obvious that the reputation of our mem-
bers and the good they have done through the
years is what will see USA Boxing through,
USA Boxing President Charles Butler wrote in a
letter to his members.
AIBA didnt lift its two-year suspension of
Adonis, who survived a vote by USA Boxings
board of directors and briey kept his seat on the
board after getting ousted from the presidency in
June.
The 75-year-old Adonis was quoted in the
New Yorker earlier this year claiming connec-
tions between childhood abuse and successful
boxers, particularly in the womens sport.
Remarks that discriminate against large
groups of our athletes based on race or gender
and associate the sport of boxing with child
abuse are totally foreign to our membership,
Butler said in his appeal letter to AIBA President
Wu Ching-Kuo.
Our members have dedicated their lives to
helping the young men and women of our coun-
try get off the streets and change their lives for
the better. Many of these young men and women
have become great American Olympic and
world champions who are ambassadors for box-
ing worldwide.
USA Boxing removed Adonis from a leader-
ship role shortly after his comments became
public, yet a portion of its board of directors still
voted to retain Adonis as a board member.
That vote infuriated AIBA and the USOC,
which threatened to decertify USA Boxing
unless the beleaguered organization agreed to
leadership changes and more oversight.
AIBA spokesman Sebastien Gillot said the
organization shall take the necessary steps to
assist, improve and develop the sport in the USA
and protect the interest of its boxers.
USA Boxings new leadership, including
Butler and executive director Anthony
Bartkowski, vocally disavowed Adonis
remarks.
Yet the vote to keep Adonis on the board could
have resulted in the organizations immediate
dissolution without some nimble maneuvering.

Half Moon Bay (0-2, 1-6) at
Burlingame (0-3, 2-5), 7 p.m.
The Cougars collapsed against M-A last
week, 31-14. The Panthers were pounded by
Terra Nova, 48-0. This is the rst meeting
between these teams since a 28-12
Burlingame win in 2009. Half Moon Bay
took an early 7-0 lead over M-A last and led
7-0 after the rst quarter. The defense, howev-
er, fell apart in the second quarter, giving up
24 to the Bears. Burlingame has now
dropped three games in a row following a 2-2
start to the season. The Panthers have been
shut out twice in three Bay Division games.
The 48 points allowed was the most
Burlingame has allowed this season.
Woodside (0-3, 2-5) at
Jefferson (0-2, 1-6), 7 p.m.
The Wildcats were whipped 32-7 by
Sequoia last week. The Indians were drilled
by South City, 44-19. Jefferson beat
Woodside 42-12 when these teams met in
2010. Woodsides lone score last week
came on a Seth Humble 50-yard fumble
return. The Wildcats have scored a total of
25 points in three Ocean Division losses.
Jeffersons 19 points scored was a season high
for the Indians. Even in their lone win, the
Indians only scored 16 points. The defense
has now allowed 40 or more points four times
this season.
Kings Academy (1-1, 1-6) at
South City (3-0, 4-3), 7 p.m.
The Knights were throttled 57-23 by Menlo
School last week. The Warriors waltzed to a
44-19 win over Jefferson. This is the rst
meeting between these two teams. Kings
Academy did not enter the Peninsula Athletic
League until 2008 and before that the Knights
played in the North Coast Section. Kings
Academy scored a season-high 23 points last
week. Unfortunately, the 57 points allowed
was also a season high. Anthony Shkuratov
and Kevin Cunha each scored three touch-
downs for South City last week. The
Warriors had both their offense and defense on
point against Jefferson. After giving up 28 and
39 points in back-to-back weeks, they held
Jefferson to just 19 points.
Hillsdale (0-3, 0-7) at
Carlmont (0-3, 1-6), 7 p.m.
The Knights comeback was thwarted by
Capuchino 40-30 last week. The Scots were
shut out 27-0 by El Camino. Hillsdale beat
Carlmont 35-21 last year. Hillsdale trailed
Capuchino 24-0 at halftime, but cut the decit
to just seven points, 30-23 heading into the
fourth quarter, but it could not get over the
hump. Knights QB Cole Carrithers threw
for a career-high 417 yards on a career-high
55 attempts. Carlmonts skid has now
reached six in a row. It was the second time
this season the Scots were shut out.
Carlmont is averaging just 8.6 points per game
in Lake Division play.
Mills (1-1, 3-3-1) at
El Camino (2-1, 4-3), 3 p.m.
The Vikings were shut down by San Mateo
35-3 last week. The Colts clobbered Carlmont
27-0. El Camino buried Mills last year, 41-
14. Mills managed only 101 yards of total
offense last week and turned the ball over ve
times. Joshua Sved was one of the few
bright spots for the Vikings, returning a kick-
off 82 yards to the San Mateo 4-yard line.
El Camino QB Ian Santos threw for two
touchdowns and ran for a third in last weeks
win. The Colts shut out their fourth oppo-
nent of the season. Their defense is the best in
the Lake Division, holding division opponents
to just 8.6 points per game. Overall, the Colts
are allowing just over 14 points per game.
The Rest
and the kids play the game.
The Bearcats are in a position to take a
choke hold on the division with a win. And
theyve accomplished that by shoring up a
defense that last year allowed 36 points per
game. Their biggest task Friday night is stop-
ping Ewing, who has the fourth-most rushing
yards in the state and 28th most in the country
according to Maxpreps.com.
I dont think you use the word stop,
Scheller said. I think you contain. You try to
slow guys down but you know hes going to
get the ball, get the majority of the carries and
you try to contain him and get somebody else
to beat you. I dont think a lot of teams have
been successful. Hes a great back. He runs
really hard. Thats probably the scariest thing:
you know whats coming. You just have to
slow him down.
Hyndman knows San Mateo can do a thing
or two on offense as well. Line Latu is one of
the more exciting young back in the division.
Hes complimented by the play of Kevin
Garcia-Rodela, who had this best game of the
year last week against Mills.
San Mateo is a total turnaround from last
year, Hyndman said. And we have to stop
their run game No. 11 (Latu) and No. 17
(Garcia-Rodela). If we dont contain them, we
could be in for a long day. Hopefully, our guys
will be in the right position come [Friday]
night.
Capuchino and Ewing may be putting up
eye-popping numbers this season offensively,
but the key against San Mateo will be its
defense. Against Hillsdale, they gave up more
than 400 yards passing.
Capuchino is one of those teams from the
get-go that was favored to contend for the
league and theres no doubt they have a great
team, Scheller said. Its right where we want
to be. Thats what we noticed about our guys.
Theyre able to put it away and just move on.
They do a great job of walking around and not
thinking theyre the best thing since sliced
bread. They enjoy the ride. They enjoy the
journey. It would be sweet to be in the drivers
seat for the division title.

BATON ROUGE, La. Former LSU foot-
ball standouts Tyrann Mathieu and Jordan
Jefferson were among four ex-players arrested
Thursday after police found them with mari-
juana at Mathieus apartment, police said.
Lt. Don Kelly, a Baton Rouge Police
spokesman, said ofcers were called to the
apartment complex about 3:30 p.m. after
receiving a complaint about a man forcing his
way through the security gate before going to
Mathieus apartment.
Ofcers immediately smelled a strong odor
of marijuana and obtained consent from
Mathieu to search the apartment, Kelly said.
Inside they found Jefferson and two other
men Karnell Hatcher and Derrick Bryant
as well as a marijuana grinder, digital scale
and 10 bags of high-grade marijuana. Kelly
said seven of the bags were found inside
Bryants book bag.
Mathieu, 20, of New Orleans, and Jefferson,
22, of St. Rose, La., were booked into the East
Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of sim-
ple possession of marijuana. Hatcher, 22, of
Delray Beach, Fla., was booked with second-
offense simple possession of marijuana and
Bryant, 22, of Lawrenceville, Ga., was booked
with possession with intent to distribute mari-
juana.
Mathieu, a former Heisman Trophy nalist
and cornerback known as the Honey Badger,
has no criminal record but has well document-
ed drug problems that led to his dismissal
from the Tigers in August. He had enrolled as
a student at the school following two weeks of
rehab under the care of former NBA player
John Lucas. He also had talked about possibly
returning to the team for the 2013 season with
two seasons of eligibility. He is also eligible to
apply for the NFL draft in April.
Jefferson, the Tigers former starting quar-
terback, had returned to Baton Rouge to nish
his degree after playing with the Montreal
Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.
He also was a free agent signee with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the
Alouettes.
Jefferson had been suspended for the start of
his senior season in connection with a presea-
son bar ght near campus.

SANTA CLARA The pass
rusher in Aldon Smith is getting a
little more excited than usual this
week.
Thats a feeling spreading
throughout the San Francisco
defense as the 49ers prepare for
Monday nights game against the
Arizona Cardinals, the only NFC
West team to beat the Niners during
coach Jim Harbaughs two seasons
here.
Despite another strong season
from Smith, the 49ers arent sacking
opposing quarterbacks at the same
rate they did last year. But that has-
nt prevented San Francisco from
leading the NFL in both total
defense and passing defense.
There could be plenty of opportu-
nities for sacks against the
Cardinals, who have struggled all
season to protect quarterbacks
Kevin Kolb and John Skelton.
That pair has been dropped 35
times in seven games, by far the
most sacks allowed by any team in
the league. Skelton, who will start
Mondays game, was sacked seven
times in last weeks loss to the
Minnesota Vikings.
Thats something that hasnt gone
unnoticed by Smith, who set a fran-
chise rookie record last season with
14 sacks and leads the team with 5
1/2 this year.
Wed all like to have more
sacks, Smith said Thursday.
Seeing other people have success
getting sacks, I mean thats what I
do and thats what we do. So of
course its thumbs up for us.
Smith has half of San Franciscos
entire sack total. The 49ers have
only three sacks in their past three
games and rank 23rd in the NFL in
sacks per play the teams lowest
standing in 12 defensive categories
recorded by the
league.
The 49ers had
42 sacks in
2011, and the
havoc created by
their pass rush
was a key to the
teams defensive
success. Smith
burst onto the
scene with an impressive rookie
season, but the 49ers also got a con-
sistent push up front from their
bookend defensive tackles, All-Pro
Justin Smith (7 1/2 sacks last year)
and Ray McDonald (5 1/2).
Justin Smith and McDonald have
combined for only a half sack so far
this season. Outside linebacker
Ahmad Brooks (three sacks) is the
only 49er besides Aldon Smith with
more than one sack this year.
But the lack of sacks belies the
strength of San Franciscos pass
rush. The pressure up front has been
good with Justin Smith and
McDonald combining for 47 quar-
terback hits and 68 pressures even
though they havent been taking
quarterbacks to the ground.
Were ranked (first) in pass
defense, and pass rush is part of
pass defense, defensive coordina-
tor Vic Fangio said. So, although
we dont have the sack numbers,
which a lot of people want to sink
their teeth into, thats not the meas-
ure of a good pass rush. And right
now to this point, I havent seen
pass rush as being a weakness for
us.
Aldon Smith still has been getting
his sacks. He was particularly
impressive during a three-play
sequence in the nal two minutes
last week against Seattle to help the
49ers nish a 13-6 victory over the
Seahawks that left San Francisco (5-
2) a game ahead of Seattle (4-3) and
Arizona (4-3) in the division.
With the Seahawks back deep in
their own territory, Smith overpow-
ered Seattle offensive tackle Breno
Giacomini to sack quarterback
Russell Wilson for a seven-yard
loss.
Two plays later, with Seattle fac-
ing 4th and 17 from its 4, Smith
again was pushing Giacomini back
into Wilson in the end zone before
guard Paul McQuistan peeled back
to help. McQuistan was agged for
a chop block on Smith, and the
49ers were awarded a safety that
Harbaugh declined since the ball
went back to San Francisco with 43
seconds remaining.
I think teams are a little bit more
prepared for us than they were last
year and quarterbacks are getting
the ball out faster, Smith said. But
all in all were hurrying throws and
were creating a lot of pressure, so
were doing our job.
49ers can increase sacks total facing Cardinals

By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA After the Oakland
Raiders set NFL records in 2011 for
penalties and penalty yards, rookie
coach Dennis Allen made it a top
priority to eld more disciplined
team.
Until recently, the plan seemed to
be working.
Thats why several Oakland play-
ers were caught off guard by com-
ments made this week by Chiefs
linebacker Tamba Hali, who told a
Kansas City newspaper the Raiders
are a dirty team whose players
cheap shot opponents, and said it
was a tradition in the games
between the AFC West rivals.
A few years ago that might have
elicited a more profound reaction
from the Raiders, but this is clearly
not the same franchise it was when
late owner Al Davis was calling the
shots.
Allen brushed
off Halis com-
ments while
players like
defensive back
Michael Huff
and fullback
Marcel Reece
laughed.
If some-
bodys talking
about you, youre doing something
right, Reece said Thursday. We
play hard, we dont play dirty.
Obviously divisional opponents are
going to feel it a little more because
its a rivalry.
Halis comments came on the
heels of Oaklands two most penal-
ized games of the season. The
Raiders had 12 penalties in a loss to
Atlanta on Oct. 14, then picked up
nine more in Sundays win over
Jacksonville. They had 19 total
through the rst four weeks.
Reducing penalties has been a pri-
mary concern for almost every
Raiders coach. Allen and general
manager Reggie McKenzie talked
extensively about the need to be
more disciplined.
Before the recent backslide,
Oakland had been just that despite a
rough start in the standings.
The Raiders (2-4) have 40 penal-
ties but only three have been for
unnecessary roughness and theyve
been whistled only once for rough-
ing the quarterback. Thats a signif-
icant reduction from 2011 when
Oakland had 10 unnecessary rough-
ness calls, ve roughing the quarter-
back penalties and four ags for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
So is this a kindler, gentler
Raiders team?
I wouldnt go that far, Huff said.
I dont think were dirty. I just
think we play physical, aggressive
football, like its supposed to be
played.
Oakland set single-season NFL
records for penalties (163) and
penalty yards (1,358) in 2011 and
historically is among the league
leaders in that dubious category.
Hali, whose Chiefs host the
Raiders on Sunday, doesnt believe
much has changed even though
Oakland has made sweeping
changes in just about every corner
of the franchise.
Its a tradition, Hali told The
Kansas City Star. The Raiders,
they come in, they cheap shot, they
hit you. Im not saying names. It is
what it is. Weve got to be ready to
play and keep our composure,
stayed poised and be able to get this
win.
They are coming in and theyre a
good team and a fast team and they
play dirty. Weve got to come out
swinging. Weve got to be ready for
that. You can let these guys come in
and if they do it and you let them do
it, theyre going to enjoy themselves
doing it and theyll run over you.
Allen didnt seem too bothered by
the comments. The Raiders are try-
ing to win consecutive games for the
first time this season and have
enough issues on both sides of the
ball for Allen to get caught in a war
of words.
Hes entitled to his opinion,
Allen said atly.
The Chiefs (1-5) have more
penalties (43) than the Raiders,
though only two have been for
unnecessary roughness, and Reece
sounded surprised Hali would even
broach the topic.

Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect eighth
and Sergio Romo worked the ninth for a save
in the combined two-hitter, leaving Triple
Crown winner Miguel Cabrera in a huge hole
heading back to Comerica Park. Anibal
Sanchez will start for the Tigers against Ryan
Vogelsong in Detroit.
The Tigers looked foggy at the plate, maybe
still lost following a ve-day layoff after an
ALCS sweep of the Yankees. Cabrera hopped
up and twisted away after third baseman Pablo
Sandoval, who homered three times in the
opener, snared his early line drive.
Bumgarner had something to do with the
Tigers troubles, too.
Bumped from the NLCS rotation after two
poor postseason starts, he returned with a
ourish. The left-hander struck out eight and
looked as sharp as he did in the 2010 World
Series when, as a 21-year-old rookie, he
stopped Texas in Game 4 on the way to a
championship.
This game was scoreless in the seventh
when the Giants went ahead, right after actor
Tom Hanks a former peanut vendor at the
nearby Oakland Coliseum sang Take Me
Out to the Ball Game on the eld.
Pence led off with a single and Fister
departed, getting lots of hugs in the dugout.
Rookie reliever Drew Smyly walked Brandon
Belt on a full-count pitch and Blancos bunt
loaded the bases.
The Tigers kept their ineld back up the
middle, and had no play at the plate on
Crawfords bouncer.
Pence added the insurance run the next
inning with his yball off Octavio Dotel.
Fielder and the Tigers came up inches short
of taking an early lead, the result of yet anoth-
er alert play by second baseman Marco
Scutaro and a dubious decision by third base
coach Gene Lamont.
Fielder was hit by a pitch to lead off the sec-
ond, Delmon Young followed with a double
and when the ball rattled around in left eld,
Lamont waved the burly slugger home. Even
with no outs, Lamont sent him.
Scutaro, in the middle of every big play for
the Giants this month, dashed across the dia-
mond, caught Blancos relay and unleashed a
strong throw to the plate. All-Star catcher
Buster Posey made a swipe tag to Fielders
backside, just as the Tigers star slid home.
Umpire Dan Iassogna had a clear look and
made a demonstrative call out!
Fielder immediately popped up from his
slide and pleaded his case with two hands.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland rushed out and
pointed to the plate. At second base, Young
yelled, No!
But even if there was replay review, it
wouldnt have helped the Tigers. Because TV
replays showed Iassogna, working his rst
plate job in a World Series, got it right.
There was no dispute that Fister somehow
avoided a serious injury moments later.
With two outs in the Giants second, Blanco
lined a shot up the middle that hit Fister on the
right side of the head and deected on the y
to shallow center eld.
Fister showed no visible effect from the
blow in fact, some in the crowd wondered
whether the ball perhaps glanced off his glove
because Fister stayed on his feet. Only when
fans saw replays did groans echo around the
ballpark.
Leyland, pitching coach Jeff Jones and a
trainer went to the mound, and Fister insisted
on staying in the game. He walked the next
batter to load the bases, but retired Bumgarner
on a popup, starting a streak of 12 straight hit-
ters set down by Fister.
Among those who winced was Oakland
pitcher Brandon McCarthy, who sustained a
skull fracture and brain contusion after being
hit by a line drive last month.
Im not watching but did just see the
replay. Certainly hope hes ok, McCarthy
tweeted.
NOTES: Bumgarner struck out Austin
Jackson and Omar Infante to start the game.
Two other Giants fanned the rst two batters
in a Series game: Christy Mathewson (1905)
and Carl Hubbell (1933). ... Bumgarner
picked off Infante at rst base to end the
fourth. Infante made a break for second and,
like Fielder earlier, came up short with his
slide. ... Scutaro was the only Giants hitter to
have previously faced Fister. ... Posey has a hit
in all seven World Series games in his career.
GIANTS
2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
San Francisco also made a great play at the
plate to save a run in the second, and had
Prince Fielder scored then Detroit might have
grabbed some early momentum on the heels
of an 8-3 loss in Wednesdays opener.
After Fielder was hit by a pitch from
Madison Bumgarner leading off the second,
Blanco who made a pair of pretty diving
catches in left eld during Wednesdays win
chased down Delmon Youngs double but
overthrew the rst cutoff man. Second base-
man Marco Scutaro wisely hustled over to
third base, however, and caught Blancos
throw before making a perfect relay home to
catcher Buster Posey just in time to nail a slid-
ing Fielder at the plate.
Omar Infante hit a leadoff single in the
fourth but Pablo Sandoval made a nice play to
snare Cabreras sharp liner. Infante was later
thrown out trying to steal second.
Sure, the Giants made it this far with
sparkling defense down the stretch. But a few
good hops never hurt.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy has acknowl-
edged that getting some breaks along the way
can make a huge difference in October, on the
big stage when the stakes are high. And he
would know, he took San Francisco to a
championship two years ago.
On Wednesday in the Series opener, Angel
Pagan had a double that bounced off the bag
at third and shot into left eld. In Game 5 of
the NL championship series last Friday at St.
Louis, Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn elded
an easy comebacker in the fourth inning and
quickly turned to try to start a double play at
second base. Instead, his throw caromed off
the bag and the throwing error allowed a run
to score in the Giants four-run inning.
Barry Zito the Game 1 World Series win-
ner wound up pitching his team to a 5-0,
season-saving victory.
San Francisco ew home to the Bay Area
trailing the defending champions 3-2 and won
two more to reach its second World Series in
three years with help from another bizarre
ball in Game 7, of course.
Hunter Pences broken bat made contact
with the ball three times, sending a slicing
liner toward shortstop that fooled St. Louis
Pete Kozma and went through for a double.
Two runs scored, then a third crossed the plate
when center elder Jon Jay made an error,
breaking the game open.

Subaru XV Crosstrek blends new look, utility
By Ann M. Job
Fitted with a raised suspension, unique
wheels and some bold paint colors, Subarus
new XV Crosstrek ve-door hatchback gets
attention.
But the verdict is out on whether potential
buyers will see the Crosstrek as a smartly util-
itarian tall wagon or what Subaru ofcials
sought to design a compact crossover sport
utility vehicle.
Basically, the new-for-2013 Crosstrek is a
Subaru Impreza that has been raised 3 inches,
shod with larger tires on black-and-gray two-
toned wheels and mildly restyled.
The Crosstrek uses the same platform as the
Impreza, the same 148-horsepower, horizon-
tally opposed, four-cylinder engine and
Subarus all-wheel drive.
Nearly all the interior is from the Impreza,
too.
But where the Impreza, which is Subarus
entry-level car, blends in as a normal and
pleasant-looking sedan and a slightly sporty-
looking hatchback, the unusual some
might say odd-looking Crosstrek tends to
stand out in a crowd.
Pricewise, the Crosstrek comes in at the
higher range of the Impreza models and at the
lower end of models of the Subaru Forester
compact SUV.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, for a 2013
XV Crosstrek is $22,790 with ve-speed man-
ual transmission and $23,790 with continu-
ously variable transmission that a driver oper-
ates like an automatic.

DETROIT Honda wants to silence its
critics when it rolls out the new Accord this
week.
The automaker, chastened for cheapening
the Civic compact earlier this year, says that
wont happen with the midsize Accord.
It better not. The sedan is up against the
toughest competition its ever seen.
It faces a new Nissan Altima that leads mid-
size sedans in highway fuel economy at 38
miles per gallon, and a revamped Toyota
Camry that has cemented its place as the best-
selling car in America. The stylish Hyundai
Sonata, the redesigned and lower-priced
Volkswagen Passat, and a new, more efcient
Chevrolet Malibu also are on sale. And then
theres the European-looking Ford Fusion due
out in the fall.
Its certainly a battle royal in the midsize
sedan segment, says Sage Marie, a Honda
public relations executive who is coordinating
the Accords marketing launch. And we have
a lot of condence.

This compares with $19,165 for a
base, 2013 Impreza ve-door hatchback
with manual transmission and the
$22,090 starting retail price for a base,
2013 Forester with manual.
Note that the Forester is heavier, taller
and longer in overall length than the
Crosstrek, while the Crosstrek is heav-
ier, taller and a tad longer in overall
length than the Impreza hatchback.
All Crosstreks come standard with all-
wheel drive.
While federal crash testing has not
been reported, standard safety equip-
ment on every Crosstrek includes seven
air bags one is for the drivers right
knee along with stability control,
traction control, front-seat anti-whiplash
head restraints and antilock brakes with
Brake Assist and Electronic Brake
Distribution.
Subaru officials say competitors
include compact crossover SUVs, which
are vehicles built on car-like platforms
that provide a more comfortable ride,
rather than a brutish truck-like ride.
Examples include the 2013 Nissan
Juke, which has a starting MSRP plus
destination charge of $22,440 with all-
wheel drive, 188-horsepower, tur-
bocharged four cylinder and CVT. Note
the Juke is available with front-wheel
drive and CVT at a lower starting retail
price of $20,780.
Meantime, the 2013 Mazda CX-5
crossover SUV has a starting retail price
of $21,790 with 155-horsepower, natu-
rally aspirated, four-cylinder engine, six-
speed manual transmission and front-
wheel drive. A base 2013 CX-5 with all-
wheel drive has a starting MSRP, includ-
ing destination charge, of $24,440.
While the Crosstreks foreign looks
grab attention, it is the vehicles exible
interior for people and cargo that have
enduring appeal.
Cargo room behind the second-row
seats measures 22.3 cubic feet, and
theres small-SUV-like space of 51.9
cubic feet with rear seats folded down.
Best of all, the cargo oor is up some, so
people dont have to lean over to load
and unload the back.
Headroom is less, in front and back,
than in the taller Forester and the CX-5,
but the Crosstrek still has a commend-
able 39.8 inches and 37.7 inches of front
and rear headroom, respectively, which
is more than what a Juke has.
Theres an impressive 43.5 inches of
front-seat legroom in the Crosstrek, and
while the back seats 35.4 inches is less
than the Foresters, both front- and rear-
seat legroom are better than that in a
Juke.
The Crosstreks interior, at least in
base Premium trim, appears a lot like an
Imprezas. Theres considerable plastic
trim in there and acceptable cloth uphol-
stery on the seats, with front seats heat-
ed as standard equipment. To get leather-
trimmed seats, buyers must move up to
the Limited model, which starts at
$25,290.
For both the Limited and base models,
a moonroof and navigation system are
options, and a rear vision camera is
available only on the pricey Limited.
The 2-liter, double overhead cam four
cylinder worked hard to keep up with
other vehicles on uphill mountain high-
way sections and to accelerate.
But mated to a fuel-saving CVT that
droned incessantly, the engines power
felt a bit tapped at times in the 3,175-
pound tester, particularly when it carried
four adults and suitcases.
Peak torque is 145 foot-pounds at
4,200 rpm and compares with 177 foot-
pounds starting at a low 2,000 rpm in the
turbocharged Nissan Juke. But its close
to the 150 foot-pounds of peak torque
delivered at 4,000 rpm in the Mazda CX-
5.
Paddle shifters on the steering wheel
let Crosstrek drivers manually shift
the CVT and reduce the droning as the
tranny then goes from one to another of
six preset gear ratios. Still, this articial
x conicts with the real reason to have
a CVT, which is to maximize fuel econ-
omy by allowing the transmission to
manage power delivery itself.
For the record, the test Crosstrek with
CVT averaged 27 miles per gallon in
combined city/highway travel, which is
less than the 28-mpg rating reported by
the federal government.
Riding on 17-inch tires, the test
Crosstrek surprised with its stable han-
dling.
Despite a ground clearance of 8.7
inches, the Crosstrek test vehicle main-
tained its composure in sudden emer-
gency maneuvers and remained bal-
anced and at in corners.
The high ride height provided good
views out to the trafc ahead but didnt
make the Crosstrek feel tippy.
Best of all, the Crosstreks seats were
well-positioned, so most passengers
could just set themselves onto the seats
without climbing up or dropping down.
Electric power-assist rack-and-pinion
steering felt a bit numb but was accept-
able.
SUBARU
Just ve years ago, leading the midsize segment wasnt that
difcult. It was pretty much a two-car contest between Accord
and Camry, with the Altima a distant third. Camry and Accord
still lead, but in the past few years, other car companies have
upped their games. American, South Korean and German
rivals are chipping away at their sales.
Honda and Toyota can no longer take it for granted that this
is going to be a two-horse race, says Jesse Toprak, vice pres-
ident of market intelligence for the TrueCar.com auto pricing
service. Its a remarkable change, how competitive the seg-
ment has become.
The new Accord has a fresh athletic look and nicer interior.
Honda says its aiming to beat Camry in sales to individual
buyers. That excludes sales to rental car companies and other
eet buyers.
The company has released only a few details about the 2013
ve-seat Accord, which it will start making Monday at its fac-
tory in Marysville, Ohio. It says the Accords fuel economy
with be competitive with the Altima. And the price will be
similar to the current Accord, which starts at $21,480.
The cars look is still conservative, and in pictures, it resem-
bles the 2012 version. But side creases give the new version a
little more style. And the front and rear look more aggressive
and athletic.
The car is a little smaller on the outside and bigger on the
inside, says Hondas Marie. It is shorter making it easier to
handle and park and more aerodynamic, giving it better gas
mileage.
The Accords door lines were lowered and the glass area
enlarged so the driver and passengers can see better, Marie
says. The changes buck the industry trend of making doors
taller and windows smaller.
The car also will get all-new engines and transmissions,
including a four-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection, a
technology that uses less gas by mixing it with air in the cylin-
der. The new Accord also has a continuously variable trans-
mission that doesnt shift gears. That allows the engine to
work at the optimal level regardless of speed.
Honda also went against trends by giving buyers the option
of a V-6 engine. Hyundai, Ford and Chevrolet offer only four-
cylinders in their new midsize cars. Marie says Honda kept the
V-6 because it is smooth and powerful. A new V-6 will get gas
mileage thats similar to rivals four-cylinder motors, he says.
Honda hasnt released any pictures of the interior, which
Marie promises will have rich materials and a high level of
craftsmanship.
After decades of being the most popular segment among
U.S. buyers, midsize cars saw their market share start to drop
in 2009 as automakers improved compacts and smaller SUVs.
So far this year, though, the midsize sedan is back. Its market
share is 18.6 percent, up almost two percentage points from
2011.
Analysts say its because baby boomers still are downsizing
from larger vehicles, and they are attracted to the roominess
and fuel economy of the improved sedans. The Altima, for
instance, gets highway mileage that is just under the best com-
pact cars. Versions of the Fusion and Malibu get 37 mpg on the
highway, a mile per gallon shy of the Altima.
With the new Accord, Honda clearly is trying to avoid the
kind of criticism it got for the Civic.

Maybe if youre 20 years old
and high in your dorm room with
your friends, the platitudes pre-
sented in Cloud Atlas might
seem profound.
Anyone else in his or her right
mind should recognize it for
what it is: a bloated, pseudo-
intellectual, self-indulgent slog
through some notions that are
really rather facile.
Ooh, were all interconnected
and our souls keep meeting up
with each other over the cen-
turies, regardless of race, gender
or geography. Were individual
drops of water but were all part
of the same ocean. That is deep,
man.
Perhaps it all worked better on
the page. Cloud Atlas comes
from the best-selling novel of the
same name by David Mitchell
which, in theory, might have
seemed unlmable, encompass-
ing six stories over a span of 500
years and including some primi-
tive dialogue in a far-away
future. Sibling directors Lana
and Andy Wachowski who
actually have come up with
some original, provocative ideas
of their own in the Matrix
movies (well, at least the rst
one) working with Run Lola
Run director Tom Tykwer, have
chopped up the various narra-
tives and intercut between them
out of order. The A-list actors
who comprise the cast play mul-
tiple parts across the various sto-
ries and in elaborate makeup
thats often laughable.
Tom Hanks is a scheming doc-
tor on a voyage across the South
Pacic in 1849, a trash-talking

part of a post-apocalyptic tribe in the 2300s.
Halle Berry is a composers white trophy
wife in 1936 Scotland, an investigative
reporter in 1973 San Francisco and a mem-
ber of an elite society of prescients in the
farthest future. Hugh Grant is often the least
recognizable of all beneath layers of pros-
thetics and goop: at one point, hes a venge-
ful old man; at another, hes the raging
leader of a band of cannibals.
One easy rule of thumb: If you see Hugo
Weaving, you know hes a bad guy. Except
for the story line in which he plays a
woman, that is: an oppressive Nurse
Ratched figure in a psychiatric hospital.
Maybe the concept of transformation and
of connectedness despite the physical ves-
sels we occupy felt especially resonant for
the transgender Lana Wachowski, formerly
Larry Wachowski. But rather than serving
as a satisfying, cohesive device, the multi-
ple-parts strategy feels like a distracting
gimmick. Instead of seamlessly melding
with the films philosophy of continuity, it
keeps you constantly wondering: Who is
that actor made up to look Asian? Who is
that beneath the henna tattoos and
macrame? Is that... Susan Sarandon? It
takes you out of the heart of the stories and
holds you at arms length.
Cloud Atlas is ambitious in its scope,
for sure edited fluidly and often won-
drous to look at, but totally ineffective from
an emotional perspective. As youre watch-
ing it you may ponder as I did whether any
of these six stories across disparate genres
would be more compelling as its own,
stand-alone film. Possibly the one set in
pre-World War II, starring Ben Whishaw as
an up-and-coming composer who flees
London when hes exposed as a homosexu-
al and goes to work for an aging musical
master (Jim Broadbent), all the while writ-
ing letters to his lover (James DArcy) full
of humor and longing. (This is one of the
Tykwer segments, by the way. He also
directed the tales set in 1973 and 2012,
while the Wachowskis took on 1849, 2144
and the 24th century.)
The most ridiculous is the one that takes
place After the Fall in Hawaii in the mid-
2300s. It requires Hanks and Berry to yam-
mer at each other in a disjointed, stripped-
down version of English thats as indeci-
pherable as it is laughable. Even more unin-
tentionally hilarious is the sight of Weaving
hopping around in green makeup like some
subversive leprechaun, whispering naughty
things in Hanks ear.
On the other end of the spectrum, the
most engaging tale of all is set in the gleam-
ing, futuristic city of Neo Seoul, a place of
detailed, totalitarian precision built atop the
remnants of a flood. Sonmi-451 (Doona
Bae) is one of countless fabricated restau-
rant workers locked in a daily routine of
servitude and sleep. But she longs to think
for herself and dares to escape with the help
of a young revolutionary played by Jim
Sturgess. Sure, its hugely derivative with
its garish, dystopian aesthetic and themes of
machines turning on the people who invent-
ed them, but its also the only one that
comes close to capturing any real sense of
humanity.

LOS ANGELES Cloud Atlas encom-
passes six stories over a span of 500 years and
features an enormous cast of A-list stars play-
ing multiple roles. This means its also very
long 172 minutes and carries with it the
ambitions of an epic.
So here are ve other movies whose run-
ning time adds to their sense of importance.
You will surely think of many others, so feel
free to chime in. I have all day:
Lawrence of Arabia (1962):
The very definition of an epic. Youll see
various running times out there, all of which
flirt with the four-hour mark. But the 1989
reconstruction of David Leans classic
wound up being close to its original length
of 216 minutes. Breathtaking in its scope
and hugely influential with its gorgeously
grand, sweeping vistas, it won seven
Academy Awards including best picture.
Theres a lot of ground to cover and
Lawrence was a complicated guy. Besides,
who wouldnt want to look at Peter OToole
for that long?
Apocalypse Now Redux (2001):
As if 1979s Apocalypse Now werent
long enough, Francis Ford Coppola added 49
minutes of never-before-seen footage and
rereleased it as a 197-minute directors cut,
the version he always wanted the world to see.
This includes more footage of the beach
attack scene and the much-talked-about
French plantation scene. While its fascinating
to see what Coppola deleted from the original
lm, he didnt always improve his master
work, and at times, he weakened it. (We also
could have included the rst two Godfather
movies here, which clock in at 175 minutes
and 200 minutes, respectively, and deserve
every second.)
Magnolia (1999):
I loved this movie when it came out, and I
love it still, and the fact that its over three
hours long only magnies the enormity of the
emotions the way Paul Thomas Anderson
intertwines the various characters lives and
expertly times their highs and lows. Its big
and beautiful, uid and messy a profound
exploration of love and loneliness in the most
prosaic of places, the San Fernando Valley.
You could spend 188 minutes just sitting on
the 101 freeway, trying to get from Studio
City to Woodland Hills. This is far more com-
pelling.
Heat (1995):
Michael Manns crime saga takes on an
epic, operatic quality as it sprawls across 170
minutes and throughout Los Angeles. This
will go down as Manns masterpiece
although The Insider, which is also pretty
damn long at 157 minutes, is also pretty great.
Everything he does best is on display here: the
stylized visuals, gritty violence and complex
characters who occupy a murky moral area.
Since were keeping track of time, the coolly
precise bank robbery that Robert De Niro, Val
Kilmer and Tom Sizemore pull off, followed
by that famous shootout in the heart of down-
town, comes at the halfway point.
Inland Empire (2006):
Back when I reviewed this, I wrote that it
might be David Lynchs masterpiece, or it
might be a total mess. What I was sure of was
the fact that it changed my mood for the rest
of the day it stuck with me, messed with
me and I couldnt ignore that. While it fea-
tures many of Lynchs regular players (Laura
Dern, Harry Dean Stanton, Justin Theroux)
and his trademark disjointed, nightmarish
visuals, its also a deantly plotless mixture of
bunny rabbits, dark hallways and dancing
prostitutes. That it runs 180 minutes adds to
its hypnotic nature.
With Cloud Atlas opening, five super-long movies
By Jason Dearen and Mike Householder
SAN FRANCISCO While the Fall
Classic between the San Francisco Giants and
Detroit Tigers pits clubs from two very differ-
ent cities, the distinctive style and taste of each
teams partisans also pours through the beer
taps at their ball yards.
In a trendy, gourmet food-and-drink
obsessed place such as San Francisco, a gener-
ic cold beer at AT&T Park often doesnt cut
the mustard as a companion to the stadiums
pungent garlic fries or a Caribbean-style con-
coction called the Cha-Cha Bowl. Revelers can
choose between 56 different beers inside the
waterfront ballpark.
At Wednesdays Game 1, hundreds of Giants
fans crammed elbow-to-elbow into an adjoin-
ing ballpark bar that sells dozens of craft brews
ranging from high-octane Belgian Trappist ales
to a full suite of city-brewed Anchor Steam
concoctions.
Because San Francisco is such an eclectic
city and so diverse, and with all the different
foods, people just like selection and they just
support local beers, said Sandie Filipiak,
AT&T Parks director of concessions. Theres
room for a lot, and not every city is that way.
At Detroits Comerica Park, where only a
couple of locally made beers are on tap, die-
hard Motor City fans are just ne with the
unpretentious, established American beer
brands.
Detroit is a blue-collar, domestic beer
town said Bob Thormeier, who oversees food
and drink services at the Tigers ballpark. The
younger segment of people are going toward
the (craft beer), but a lot of our fans around
here grew up on domestic beers. They grew up
on your Miller Lights, your Coors Lights, Bud
Lights.
San Franciscos craft beer obsession is on
full display at the Public House, a ball yard bar
on Willie Mays Plaza just outside the stadiums
main entrance. The bar boasts 24 taps (thats
Mays retired number), but pours more than 60
different beers, with a focus on local breweries.
Unlike bars outside other ballparks, the
Public House allows fans to take their designer
brews directly into the ballpark through a turn-
stile tucked away in the back. Fans can come
back and forth during the game, trying a differ-
ent ale, cider, porter or stout.
As far as I know, were the only ones to
have cask ale, the only ones who have this craft
beer-to-go policy, said Greg Stone, the tav-
erns beverage manager.
While the more adventurous local ales are
being consumed in great quantity, the estab-
lished brands like Coors and Budweiser still
lead sales ballpark-wide, Filipiak said.
Still, sales at the Public House during a game
against Cincinnati in the NLDS showed just
how diverse baseball fans tastes are becoming,
and how many of the locally made brews were
embraced.
Of the top 10 sellers there during one Giants-
Reds game, six were from relatively small
Northern California breweries, with the best
seller among those being Russian River
Brewings Blind Pig IPA, a high-octane,
super hoppy beer made in Santa Rosa.
Its our conscious decision to focus on craft
beers and local, interesting products, Stone
said.
Detroits ball yard has more than 130 spots
where fans can buy beer on a typical game day,
and about 120 of them serve American beers
that are household names.
While a micro-brewed, chocolate stout
served by hand-pump may be a tad too San
Francisco for Detroit fans, the Tigers ballpark
does not completely leave craft beer aciona-
dos wanting. Those who look can nd about 10
places that sell craft beers, including Atwater,
which is brewed at a spot across town, and
Galesburg, Mich.-made Bells.

CIVIL AIR TRANSPORT: ASIAS AIR-
LINE OF DISTINCTION. Unique among
the airlines of the world, Civil Air Transport
(CAT) operated against a backdrop of great
political transition in China and throughout
the Far East. From its formation in 1946 to its
demise in 1968, the company and its remark-
able personnel were at the center of many of
the regions major historical events as they
dened the power and inuence of air trans-
port in the postwar era.
Civil Air Transport: Asias Airline of
Distinction at SFO Museum presents an early
history of aviation in China and the develop-
ment of CAT from its origins on the mainland
through its relocation to Taiwan. The airlines
simultaneous roles as an international ag
carrier with highly regarded commercial serv-
ice and a covert operating division of the
United States Central Intelligence Agency are
explored in the more than 150 artifacts and
images on display.
SFO Museum Curator John H. Hill said,
The CAT exhibition at SFO is a window into
the past when air transport was pushed to the
limits. The airlines ability to run humanitari-
an relief operations on an unprecedented
scale, operate a commercial air service and y
special missions throughout Asia in the post-
WWII era can be seen as a series of unrivaled
logistical accomplishments.
CAT was created by Claire Chennault and
Whiting Willauer in 1946 as Chinese National
Relief and Rehabilitation Administration
(CNRRA) Air Transport. Using surplus World
War II aircraft such as the C-47 Dakota and
the C-46 Commando, CAT airlifted supplies
and food into war-ravaged China. It was soon
pressed into service to support Chiang Kai-
shek and his Kuomintang forces in the civil
war with the communists under Mao Zedong.
Many of its rst pilots were veterans of
Chennaults World War II combat groups,
popularly known as Flying Tigers. (Other of
Chennaults veterans went on to form another
air transport company, the Flying Tiger Line.
This was a completely separate operation
from Civil Air Transport and the follow-on
Air America.)
By 1950, following the defeat of Chiangs
forces and their retreat to Taiwan, the airline
faced nancial difculties. The CIA formed a
private Delaware corporation, which pur-
chased nominal shares of the Civil Air
Transport. CAT maintained a civilian appear-
ance by ying scheduled passenger ights
while simultaneously using other aircraft in
its eet to y covert missions.
During the Korean War, CAT airlifted war
materials to supply United States military
operations, including support of Kuomintang
holdouts based in Burma. CAT assisted the
French government during its Indochina wars,
ying supplies and equipment into Hanois
Gialam airport and other elds, and during the
Battle of Dien Bien Phu, supplied the French
garrison by parachuting troops and supplies
with covert USAF C-119 inscribed with
French Air Force insignia. (In February 2005,
seven surviving CAT pilots received the hon-
oric title of Legion of Honor during a special
ceremony at the French Embassy in
Washington.)
In 1959, CAT was reorganized as Air
America, which supported covert operations
throughout Indochina during the Vietnam
War, particularly in Laos. After pulling out of
South Vietnam in 1975, there was an attempt
to keep a company presence in Thailand.
After this fell through, Air America ofcially
disbanded on June 30, 1976.
CAT started to operate scheduled passenger
services, beginning with international ights
to Hong Kong, then to Japan, Korea, the
Philippines and Thailand, as well as domestic
routes within Taiwan. The rst ights were
carried out with C-46, then C-54 Skymaster
aircraft. In 1958, CAT inaugurated DC-6B
services. In 1961, CAT started to operate a
Convair 880M, becoming the rst airline to
operate pure jet scheduled passenger services
on regional routes in the Far East. The
Convair 880M was replaced by a Boeing 727
in January 1968. On Feb. 16, 1968, the 727,
ying from Hong Kong to Taipei, crashed
near Linkou in northern Taiwan, ending
CATs 23 years of operations.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 25

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Two of the 20th centurys greatest
intellects converse in London on Sept. 3,
1939, the day that Britain, France,
Australia and New Zealand declared war
on Germany to begin World War II.
As air raid sirens wail and British
bombers roar overhead, psychoanalyst
Sigmund Freud and author-professor
C.S. Lewis meet in Freuds study in
Freuds Last Session by Mark St.
Germain.
Presented by San Jose Repertory
Theatre, this one-act, two-man play fea-
tures J. Michael Flynn as Freud and
Benjamin Evett as Lewis. Although the
play clocks in at less than 90 minutes, it
covers a range of philosophical territory
focusing on the existence of God but
delving into other topics such as love, sex
and the meaning of life.
At rst, the 40-year-old Lewis doesnt
know why the 83-year-old Freud wants
to meet. Lewis assumes that its because
he recently satirized Freud. However,
Freud explains that he wants to under-
stand why Lewis, who was an atheist like
Freud, has recently become a Christian.
Hence much of their discussion focuses
on religious ideas.
Along the way, both men describe their
upbringings, Freud as a Jew in Vienna
and Lewis as a Protestant in England.
Lewis also talks about his traumatic
experiences as a soldier in World War I,
while Freud explains that he moved to
London because of Hitlers persecution
of Jews in Vienna and elsewhere. His
daughter Anna, who has followed in her
fathers professional footsteps, is an
unseen third character.
Also guring prominently in the drama
is the fact that Freud is suffering from
inoperable oral cancer and plans to end
his life when he cant stand the pain any-
more. Lewis tells him that suicide would
be a selsh act, but Freud died only 20
days later from fatal doses of morphine.
Although weighty subjects dominate
the play, it has some elements of humor,
and director Stephen Wrentmore keeps
the action owing smoothly. The hand-
some set and complementary lighting are
by Kent Dorsey, while the costumes are
by Annie Smart.
Sound designer Steve Schoenbeck has
created effects ranging from a barking
dog to scary air raid sirens, overhead
planes and snatches of radio speeches by
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and
King George VI.
Both actors are outstanding in this Bay
Area premiere. Evett as Lewis goes
through a range of emotions as the con-
versation veers from areas where hes
comfortable to personal topics hed
rather not discuss.
Flynn successfully masters the greater
challenge in portraying Freud as a
stooped, stiff, sometimes pain-wracked
man whose mind and powers of observa-
tion remain sharp. Its a bravura perform-
ance in this talky, intellectual play about
an imagined meeting.
Freuds Last Session will continue at
San Jose Repertory Theatre in downtown
San Jose through Nov. 4. Call (408) 367-
7255 or visit www.sjrep.com.

Hurricane Sandy makes landfall in Bahamas
NASSAU, Bahamas Hurricane Sandy barreled into the
Bahamas on Thursday after slashing across eastern Cuba,
where it ripped off roofs and forced postponement of a hear-
ing at the Guantanamo naval base but caused no reported
deaths.
The Category 2 hurricane killed four people elsewhere in the
Caribbean, and forecasters warned it will likely mix with a
winter storm to cause a super storm in the U.S. next week
whose effects will be felt along the entire East Coast from
Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio.
The hurricane was located about 60 miles (95 kilometers)
southeast of Eleuthera late Thursday afternoon as it neared Cat
Island in the central Bahamas. The storm was moving north at
20 mph (32 kph), with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph
(165 kph).
Power was already out on Acklins Island and most roads
there were ooded, said government administrator Berkeley
Williams.
He said his biggest concern is that a boat lled with basic
supplies for the island canceled its trip until next week.
Supplies were low before, so you can imagine what we are
going through now, Williams said.
Fifty-six dead in new ethnic violence in Myanmar
KYAUKTAW, Myanmar At least 56 people were killed
and nearly 2,000 homes destroyed in the latest outbreak of eth-
nic violence in western Myanmar, a government ofcial said
Thursday.
The 25 men and 31 women were reported dead in four
Rakhine state townships in violence between the Buddhist
Rakhine and Muslim Rohingya communities that re-erupted
Sunday, local government spokesman Win Myaing said.
He said some 1,900 homes had been burned down in fresh
conict, while 60 men and four women were injured. It was
unclear how many of the victims were Rohingya people and
how many were Rakhine.
In June, ethnic violence in the state left at least 90 people
dead and destroyed more than 3,000 homes. Tens of thousands
of people remain in refugee camps.
Israel keeps silent on mysterious Sudan airstrike
JERUSALEM Senior Israeli ofcials accused Sudan on
Thursday of playing a key role in an Iranian-backed network
of arms shipments to hostile Arab militant groups across the
Middle East, a day after a mysterious explosion rocked a
weapons factory near the North African countrys capital.
The tough words were likely to add to Sudanese suspicions
that an Israeli airstrike was behind the blast. Israel has both the
motive and means to carry out such an airstrike, and Sudan has
accused Israel in the past of operating on its territory.
Israel considers Iran to be a grave threat, citing Iranian calls
for Israels destruction, suspicions that Iran is developing a
nuclear bomb, and Irans support for militant groups on
Israels southern and northern borders.

The title Smashed refers not so much to
the nearly perpetual state of inebriation that a
young husband and wife put themselves in but
rather to the way the wife nds her existence
truly shattered when she tries to get sober.
Staying at least slightly drunk all the time is
easy, as Mary Elizabeth Winsteads character
knows well. Its a blissfully ignorant exis-
tence, one big party. But once you stop drink-
ing, the reality youve shoved aside returns
with a vengeance.
This battle with the bottle (and with bottled-
up demons) is a frequent lm topic, and
Smashed deserves some credit for mostly
avoiding the sort of histrionics that can be sta-
ples of the genre. Instead, director James
Ponsoldts lm, from a script he co-wrote with
Susan Burke, is understated to a fault. The
bottom isnt low enough, the struggle isnt dif-
cult enough, and the characters (especially
the supporting ones) dont feel developed
enough to provide necessary context for our
heroines journey.
Smashed is the rare movie that feels too
short, too thin and it ends on an unsatisfying
and rather unconvincing note, despite some
recognizable, raw moments that preceded it.
Winstead (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire
Hunter, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) gets to
show the full range of her abilities, though, in
her heaviest dramatic role yet. She stars as
Kate Hannah, a rst-grade teacher living in
the culturally mixed, hipsterish Los Angeles
neighborhood of Highland Park with her
slacker writer husband, Charlie (Aaron Paul of
Breaking Bad). When we rst see her, shes
waking up to her daily hangover, the edge of
which she takes off with a beer in the shower.
These rst scenes are an early indication of
the kind of roving, hand-held camerawork that
will pervade throughout, a needless means of
further magnifying an obvious sense of insta-
bility.
Still a mess while teaching class but
functioning charismatically from her buzz
Kate suddenly vomits in front of her aston-
ished students and tells a hasty lie to cover it
up. Her nerdy, nosy principal (Megan
Mullally) feels sympathy for her but the vice
principal, Dave (Nick Offerman), recognizes
in Kate the traits of a fellow alcoholic.
Nine years sober now, Dave takes Kate
under his wing and invites her to the low-key
AA meeting he attends. There, she meets the
warmly funny woman (Octavia Spencer) who
will become her sponsor.
And voila! Kate stops drinking. No with-
drawal, no depression. Well, she has one slip,
but the next time we see her after that, shes
receiving her one-year cake to celebrate her
sobriety and pondering the quiet, dry life that
(hopefully) awaits her. The obligatory rift
develops with her still-raging husband; they
fell in love getting hammered together, how
could they possibly survive as a couple if only
one of them is still drinking? Paul does what
he can with an underwritten role: His charac-
ter is depicted as little more than an immature,
hard-partying trust-fund kid, so its hard to
feel emotionally invested in whether he and
Kate can make it work.
Similarly, Offerman plays a level-headed,
loyal friend, which makes some weirdly inap-
propriate comments to Kate seem to come out
of nowhere, simply for the sake of an awk-
ward laugh. Faring the worst of all in just one
scene is Mary Kay Place as Kates lonely,
long-drinking mother, who functions simply
as someone to blame for her daughters genet-
ic predisposition toward alcoholism.
Still, an unadorned Winstead dives headlong
into all the highs and lows required of her
shes as much of a wreck happily singing
karaoke as she is urinating in the middle of a
liquor store. She seems more game than the
lm itself is in exposing deeper truths.
Smashed, a Sony Pictures Classics
release, is rated R for alcohol abuse, language,
some sexual content and brief drug use.
Running time: 85 minutes. Two stars out of
four.
Smashed skims the surface of addiction

can win the race with less money.
There is a gold rush of special-interest
money coming into the race but it doesnt have
to be an arms race. It doesnt have to be a big-
money proposition, Lieber said.
She took in very little money in the last
reporting period and gave herself a $200,000
loan early on to fuel her campaign.
Hills campaign provided an update to the
secretary of state yesterday with his latest con-
tributions which show he has raised more than
$1 million since Jan. 1.
Liebers total contributions since Jan. 1 are
a bit more than $258,000. Her last update to
the secretary of state, however, was Oct. 5.
She told the Daily Journal yesterday she
intends to be competitive in the race with the
money she has left in her campaign.
To highlight special-interest spending in the
race, she started a website called icky-
money.com that aims to inform voters on
where the money comes from and why it is
bad for politics.
But Hill said Lieber once took all the spe-
cial-interest money she could get back when
she was in the Assembly and is not getting it
now because she does not have any major sup-
port from labor groups, the biotech industry or
even environmentalists.
I am blessed with support from just about
every sector in society, Hill told the Daily
Journal. We put together a plan and a strate-
gy and were not deviating. We will continue
to campaign up to 8 p.m. election night.
Lieber, in the meantime, is relying on a team
of volunteers to do phone banking in the next
two weeks and is ready to send out a more
mailers to voters.
Hill and Lieber fended off two other candi-
dates in the June primary to move on to the
November election. Hill garnered about 50
percent in June while Lieber had about 21 per-
cent of the vote.
Political action committees have given Hill
broad support including the California Society
of Certied Public Accountants PAC; Personal
Insurance Federation of California PAC;
California Association for Behavior Analysis
PAC; and TechAmerica PAC among many
others.
Genentech also donated $3,900 to his cam-
paign and the Microsoft Corporation PAC
donated another $3,900, according to the sec-
retary of state.
Liebers biggest nancial supporter is the
California Teachers Association, which donat-
ed $7,800 to her campaign. Other big support-
ers include the Womens Political Committee,
which donated $3,900 to her campaign, and
the Democratic Activists for Women Now
PAC, which donated $2,500 to her campaign,
according to the secretary of state.

process.
Schools are evaluated annually through a
variety of tests resulting in a score called the
academic performance index. API scores
range from 200 to 1,000, with 200 being far
below basic, 500 being below basic, 700 being
basic, 875 being procient and 1,000 being
advanced. The statewide API performance tar-
get for all schools is 800. Schools and districts
can enter or continue to be classied as need-
ing program improvement when one or more
sub-groups fail to make annual growth goals
for two consecutive years.
Kennedy is in program improvement. Last
year, the school scored 672. This year, that
score increased by 81 points to 753. As a
result, Kennedy is one of six schools in San
Mate County that will be eligible to exit pro-
gram improvement in the 2013-14 school year
if all targets are met in 2013.
Paliughi attributed the change to the kids
and teachers. For next year, the schools goal
is to hit 800 a 47-point gain.
Paliughi hopes some of the silly rewards
like getting to shave the principals head
will stick with students as an incentive to keep
working hard when it comes time for tests.
Ten students took turns giving Paliughi his
makeover. The kids were chosen as a reward
for either scoring high or raising their scores.
Shaving Paliughis head wasnt a simple
process. First, Jasmine and Clara, both 12, put
his hair into small pigtails and took turns trim-
ming the hair. Then Julie, 11, and Jared, 13,
took turns spraying his hair green the
schools color. A couple more students took
time to trim with scissors before 12-year-old
Owen got started with the clippers. Owen was
hesitant to get started.
I was scared. I didnt want to cut him, he
said.
Unfortunately for Paliughi, the battery in
the clippers wasnt up for the challenge. With
one ponytail, a bit of green hair and some
parts of his head shaved, Paliughis haircut
was over. He most likely found a way to buzz
the rest later in the day but the stunt did get
students excited. All those who had a chance
to cut his hair described it as fun.
Hilary Paulson, president of the Redwood
City Elementary School District Board of
Trustees, noted the changes have not only
resulted in happier teachers and students, but
also students realize they can successfully
take on more rigorous academic classes. As a
result, Paulson said more students will be par-
ticipating in advanced courses in the future.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its commendable to
say nice things about your friends, but be careful
not to do so in an attempt to fatter someone who
doesnt deserve it. Insincerity can get you in all kinds
of trouble.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Chances are youll
be well aware of what you need to do in order to
achieve your goals or advance an idea, yet you still
wont likely have the necessary drive to do so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be optimistic about
the outcome of events, but make sure you are not
perceiving things only as youd like to be. Youll fall
short if youre merely a dreamer.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If youre involved in
an arrangement that necessitates dividing something
up, dont expect more than your share. Youll be in for
a big disappointment if you do.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- In order to achieve a
group objective, you may be expected to team up
with someone. Be sure its with a person who can
make a contribution.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because you dont
want to hurt someones feelings, you might be
inclined to make a promise that youll later fnd
extremely diffcult to keep. Live and learn.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Although members
of the opposite gender may fnd you attractive, you
might not be as appealing as a certain someone
would like you to think. Keep your guard up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Rather than count on
someone who has proven to be a severe disappoint-
ment to you in the past, make allowances for the
possibility of being let down once again.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Without even realizing
it, you could be overly firtatious and unwittingly send
signals to the wrong person. Be extremely careful
where you cast your roving eye.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be as shrewd
a shopper as you think you are, especially if youre
seeking a bargain for merchandise about which you
know little. Remember the adage Let the buyer
beware!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you want to delay
making a decision about a matter that solely affects
you, its OK. However, when you procrastinate about
a situation that involves others, it may be damaging.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It pays to be helpful
whenever you can, but dont let someone dump his
or her responsibilities on you when this person can
easily take care of them. Be a pal, not a patsy.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Vasili Makarov
Case Number 122786

tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Vasili Makarov. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Andre
Dragomiretzky. in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Andre
Dragomiretzky. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster 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 to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: November 20, 2012
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, 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.

BEIRUT The embattled regime
of Syrian President Bashar Assad
promised Thursday to observe a
U.N.-proposed truce during a four-
day Muslim holiday, while rebels
claimed major gains in the key bat-
tleground of Aleppo.
But prospects of the cease-re
taking hold are dim, given Assads
history of broken promises and the
rebel momentum in Aleppo, Syrias
largest city, where ghters said they
advanced into several regime-held
neighborhoods.
The truce plan by U.N.-Arab
League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi has
been endorsed by the U.N. Security
Council, including Assad allies
Russia and China. U.N. chief Ban
Ki-moon urged all countries and
groups with inuence in Syria to
pressure both sides to stop the vio-
lence in the civil war, his spokesman
said.
The holiday cease-re was the
least a divided international commu-
nity could agree on after the failure
of a more ambitious plan for an
open-ended truce and political tran-
sition talks by Brahimis predeces-
sor, Ko Annan, in April.
Even the current truce, to begin
Friday with the start of the Eid al-
Adha holiday, appears in jeopardy
from the outset. Neither side has
shown an interest in laying down
arms, instead pushing for incremen-
tal military gains.
The truce plan remained vague
Thursday evening. It wasnt clear
when exactly it was supposed to
begin, and there were no arrange-
ments for monitoring compliance.
Brahimi never said what would hap-
pen after four days, a potentially
dangerous omission considering that
Assad and those trying to topple him
sharply disagree on a way forward.
Assad refuses to resign while the
opposition says his departure is a
prerequisite for talks.
Its a longshot, Beirut-based
analyst Paul Salem said of the cease-
re. We are completely in war
mode, at least for the next many
months.
Both sides kept ghting into late
Thursday.
In an apparent setback for the
regime, activists said rebel ghters
pushed into predominantly Christian
and Kurdish neighborhoods in
northern Aleppo that had previously
been held by pro-Assad forces.
It was a surprise, local activist
Abu Raed said via Skype. It was
fast progress and in an unexpected
direction.
Syria commits to four-day truce, but prospects dim
