County supervisors heard from
residents and officials pleading
their case to keep certain cities
intact on the new district map
before sending a demographer
back to the drawing board to esh
out some hybrid alternatives.
The Board of Supervisors on
Tuesday kept two of three recom-
mended maps on its short list and
asked for new options that keep
the city of San Mateo undivided in
District Two.
District Two Supervisor Carole
Groom is troubled that the two
other maps separated San Mateos
most diverse part, moving the
northern part into another district
and shifting Coyote Point Park.

Likewise, the proposed maps
couldnt satisfy all the residents,
either, because of competing wish-

The California Public Utilities
Commission Tuesday ordered
PG&E to keep a disputed natural
gas pipeline in San Carlos out of
service until its safety is veried
by the commissions staff.
San Carlos ofcials, who fear
the 3.8-mile Line 147 could be
vulnerable to dangerous leaks,
asked the San Francisco-based
commission for such an order on
Monday.
Commissioner Michel Florio
said in a statement, We are com-
mitted to ensuring that PG&E is
operating pipelines safely. We
will not compromise safety.
The commissions investiga-
tion will result in public ndings,
orders for corrective action if
needed, and citations for any vio-
lation of law or regulation found
by the probe, said CPUC spokes-
woman Terrie Prosper.
Florio and Administrative Law
Judge Maribeth Bushey also
ordered Pacic Gas and Electric to
submit an updated safety certica-
tion for the line by Oct. 11.
San Carlos city leaders began
questioning the safety of the line
after receiving internal PG&E
emails on Thursday that showed
that PG&E engineers had raised
concerns in November 2012 that
the pipe was thinner than indicat-
ed in PG&E records and had
showed corrosion.
In one email, former PG&E
engineer David Harrison, now a
consultant to the company, wrote,
Are we sitting on another San
Bruno situation? ... Is the pipe
cracked and near failure?

Promoting anti-bullying is the focus of a
monthly program put on by the San Mateo
County Office of Education and the San
Mateo County Library.
This is the second year of the civility ini-
tiative called RESPECT! 24/7. In recogni-
tion of October as National Bullying
Awareness month, San Mateo County
declared October as RESPECT! 24/7 month,
as part of a two-year initiative.
October will culminate with an appear-
ance of best-selling author Heather Brewer,
in conversation about bullying. Brewer is
the author of Chronicles of Vladimir Tod,
The Slayer Chronicles and The Legacy of
Tril series. She is also the organizer of
Less Than Three, a young adult literature and
anti-bullying conference.
The big event is Heather Brewer, who is
really popular with teen readers for her vam-
pire series, and is active in anti-bullying
campaign, said Anna Koch, San Mateo
County library services manager. Shes
going to address the audience and hopefully
have a panel of some kids as well to talk
about bullying what it is and what you
can do to prevent it in your personal life.
The initiative is aimed at reducing inci-
dents of bullying and empowering children
and youth to exhibit leadership on this
issue. It also encourages families and com-
munities to prioritize respect and civility
and to engage in a deeper conversation
about civil behavior and acceptable norms
for a caring community.
What else is new this year?
The group Parents Place on the Peninsula
will conduct bully prevention workshops at
the Portola Valley Library, Belmont Library
and Pacica-Sanchez Library. The Peninsula
Conict Resolution Center is facilitating
screenings of the documentary Bully at
libraries in Belmont, East Palo Alto, Half
Moon Bay and Pacica.
The topic of being an upstander, a person
who knows whats happening is wrong and
does something to make things right, as
opposed to a bystander, will be discussed as
well.
Shes incredibly entertaining, but she
can also speak to youth about bullying
because she has a lot of personal experience
with it, Koch said.
Nancy Magee, administrator for board
support and community relations for the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education, will
also host a staff anti-bullying training con-
ference Oct. 21 to provide further informa-
tion and training.
Its programming that I think is worth
providing and supporting, Koch said.
Upcoming bully prevention workshops
will run 7 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Belmont
Library and 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at Pacica-
Sanchez Library.
The last remaining screening of the
Bully movie will be 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the
Belmont Library.
The Heather Brewer author program is
scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Foster
City Library.

Stanford student alleged to have
caused fatal crash still in hospital
A24-year-old Stanford University student
who allegedly caused a fatal crash in South

Highway Patrol ofcer said.
Zachary Katz was arrested after he alleged-
ly drove the wrong way onto southbound
U.S. Highway 101 near Sierra Point
Parkway and crashed into an SUV taxicab at
around 3:50 a.m. Saturday, California

The taxi then veered across several lanes
of traffic and was struck by a Mazda,
Ferguson said.
Apassenger in the taxi, 62-year-old Pedro
Soldevila, of Puerto Rico, was pronounced
dead at the scene, according to the CHP.
The taxi driver and a second passenger
were hospitalized with major injuries.
The driver of the Mazda was not hurt.
Katz was arrested on DUI-related charges
and taken to San Francisco General Hospital
with major injuries, Ferguson said.
The CHP is awaiting medical clearance
from doctors to book him and turn the case
over to the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce, Ferguson said.
Katz is not likely to be released before the
weekend, Ferguson said.

Pilots, airline fault
equipment in Asiana crash
WASHINGTON The pilots of Asiana
Flight 214, which crashed in San Francisco
in July, as well as the airline, are raising the
possibility that a key device that controls
the Boeing 777s speed may have malfunc-
tioned, an aviation expert familiar with the
investigation into the crash said Tuesday.
National Transportation Safety Board
Chairman Deborah Hersman said early in
the crash investigation that her experts had
found no mechanical problems with the
plane, but were investigating further. One
of the three pilots in the Asiana cockpit
told investigators after the accident that he
thought the planes automatic throttle was
maintaining speed as the plane descended to
land, but later discovered it wasnt sending
power to the engine, Hersman told reporters
in briengs following the accident.
The autothrottle controls engine power
and thus speed. Without enough speed, a
plane can lose lift and sink quickly. In the
case of Flight 214, the plane was ying low
and slow as pilots attempted to land.
Police: Rail commuters
on phones didnt notice gun
A man ashed a gun several times on a
crowded commuter train in San Francisco,
but passengers were so absorbed in their
phones and tablets they didnt notice until
he randomly shot and killed a university
student, authorities said.
Security video footage showed the gun-
man pull out the .45-caliber pistol, raise it
and point it across the aisle before putting
it back against his side, authorities said.
The man drew the gun several more times
and once wiped his nose with the hand hold-
ing the weapon. These werent concealed
movements the gun is very clear,
District Attorney George Gascon said.
These people are in very close proximity
with him, and nobody sees this. Theyre
just so engrossed, texting and reading and
whatnot. Theyre completely oblivious of
their surroundings.

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

Applications can cover more than one per-
son, such as a spouse or child.
Covered California executive director
Peter Lee described the initial interest in the
new health coverage as phenomenal.
These are big numbers, and theyre proof
of the pent-up demand for coverage that is
here in California and is also across the

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Mateo police, with help from
Burlingame ofcers, announced the arrest of
a man suspected of robbing the downtown
Wells Fargo Bank last week with a bomb-
like device.
The man, identied as 52-year-old tran-
sient Gerald Myer, was arrested after a med-
ical call for an intoxicated woman at the
Vagabond Inn in Burlingame just before 5
p.m. Monday. A Burlingame ofcer recog-
nized that Myer matched the description of
the bank robber and found a hat and a wig
that linked him to the crime. He was booked
into San Mateo County Jail on bank rob-
bery and related charges, according to
police.
In last weeks incident, it was reported
that a man took an undisclosed amount of
cash from a teller at the bank at 100 E.
Fourth Ave. at around noon Tuesday, Oct. 1.
He was reported to have been holding what
appeared to be a silver detonating device
with a red button and was last seen on foot
on San Mateo Drive toward Central Park. He
was also wearing what appeared to be a
blond wig with a ponytail attached and a
photo was released of him checking his dis-
guise in the window of another business,
according to police.

Court: Spanking with
wooden spoon not abuse
SAN JOSE A state appeals court on
Tuesday tossed out child abuse findings
against a frustrated Northern California
mother who spanked her 12-year-old daugh-
ter hard enough with a wooden spoon to
cause bruising.
The 6th District Court of Appeal in San
Jose reversed the child abuse determination
made by the Santa Clara County Department
of Social Services. Social workers waned to
report Vernica Gonzalez to the state
Department of Justices child abuse database
with a substantiated abuse determination.
That determination was upheld by a trial
court judge.
The appeals court said the spanking came
close to abuse, but that social workers and
the lower court judge failed to consider the
familys entire circumstances.
Gonzalez and her husband testied that
other forms of punishment such as ground-
ings and taking away her phone had failed to
persuade their 12-year-old daughter to do her
schoolwork and avoid gang culture.

Family: Man who set
self on fire was mentally ill
WASHINGTON The death of a New
Jersey man who set himself on re on the
National Mall was the result of his long
ght with mental illness, not a political
statement, his family said.
John Constantino, 64, of Mount Laurel,
N.J., poured the contents of a canister of
gasoline on himself in the center portion of
the mall Friday afternoon, police said. He
then set himself ablaze, with passing jog-
gers taking off their shirts to help put out
the ames.
Police had said Constantino conscious and
breathing at the scene, but he died later that
night at a Washington hospital.
John Constantino was a loving father
and husband. His death was not a political
act or statement, but the result of his long
battle with mental illness, his family said
in a statement issued through attorney
Jeffrey Cox.

The facility will be the National Security

The government forecast Tuesday that
most households will pay more for heat this
winter. Heating oil users will catch a slight
break, but still pay near-record prices to
keep warm.
Prices for natural gas, electricity and
propane should be higher, the primary rea-
son that more than 90 percent of U.S.
homes will incur higher heating expenses.
Natural gas users will see the biggest per-
centage increase after two years of histori-
cally low prices. Their heating bills should
rise to an average of $679, the Energy
Department said in its outlook for heating
costs for the season running from October
through March. That is about 13 percent
higher than a year ago but still 4 percent
below the average for the previous ve win-
ters.
Homes relying on electricity for heat,
about 38 percent of the U.S., will likely pay
about 2 percent more compared with last
year.
For heating oil customers, there is good
news and bad. Their average bill should drop
2 percent. But theyll still pay an average of
$2,046 for the season, the second highest
on record behind last years $2,092.
Just over half of U.S. households use nat-
ural gas for heating. Many of the 38 percent
of U.S. households that use electric heat
live in warm regions where heating demand
is not high. Only 6 percent use heating oil,
but those homes tend to be in New England
and New York, where winter heating needs
are high.
Some analysts are concerned about a
spike in heating oil prices. Thats because
the fuels that reners make alongside heat-
ing oil, including diesel and jet fuel, are in
high demand around the world and invento-
ries are low.
If theres one type of product that could
catch re and go higher, its heating oil,
says Tom Kloza, Chief Oil Analyst at the Oil
Price Information Service and
GasBuddy.com.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama and House Speaker John Boehner
offered hints of possible compromise but
also traded heated rhetoric Tuesday, a frus-
tratingly inconclusive combination that
left the eight-day partial government shut-
down rmly in place and the threat of an
unprecedented national default drawing clos-
er.
Theres a crack there, Boehner said of
the impasse near the end of a day of maneu-
vering at the White House and the Capitol.
Yet the Ohio Republican added that it was
not enough to warrant optimism.
Stocks fell signicantly the Dow Jones
average by 159 points as political grid-
lock endured. And, in the latest in a string of
dire warnings, the International Monetary
Fund said failure to raise Americas debt
limit could lead to default and disrupt world-
wide nancial markets, raise interest rates
and push the U.S economy back into reces-
sion.
Republicans dont get to demand ransom
in exchange for doing their jobs, Obama
said at the White House. They dont also
get to say, you know, unless you give me
what the voters rejected in the last election,
Im going to cause a recession.
Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over
the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for
the politicians. The Pentagon said that
because of the partial shutdown it was
unable to pay the customary death benet s
to the survivors.
Boehner said Congress had passed and
Obama signed legislation last week permit-
ting the payments, adding it was disgrace-
ful for the administration to interpret the
measure otherwise. He said the House would
clarify the issue with a new bill on
Wednesday.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
appeared ready Tuesday to free big individual
donors to give more money to political can-
didates in the courts rst major campaign
nance case since the justices took the lid
off of independent spending in 2010.
The courts conservative justices, who
formed the majority in 2010s Citizens
United case, voiced varying degrees of
skepticism about the limits on what indi-
viduals may give candidates, political par-
ties and political action committees in a
two-year federal election cycle.
The argument in a packed courtroom that
included members of Congress gave sup-
porters of stringent campaign nance regu-
lations little reason for optimism that the
court would sustain limits that were enacted
40 years ago in response to Watergate-era
abuses. The caps were intended to reduce the
potential for political corruption.
Chief Justice John Roberts, possibly the
pivotal vote in the case, said that telling an
individual he can give the legal maximum of
$2,600 per election to only a handful of
candidates for Congress seems to me a very
direct restriction on First Amendment
rights.
Roberts seemed less critical of the overall
limits as they applied to the political par-
ties, and he said nothing to suggest he
would support an outcome that would call
into question all contribution limits,
including on what one contributor may give
one candidate.
The Supreme Court rst upheld contribu-
tion limits in its 1976 Buckley v. Valeo
decision, accepting the anti-corruption
rationale. In Citizens United, the court said
that spending that is independent of cam-
paigns poses no risk of corruption, no mat-
ter how large.
Tuesdays case was in part about how to
reconcile those holdings.
President Barack Obama, who criticized
the Citizens United ruling in his State of the
Union speech in 2010, said Tuesday the cur-
rent case has the potential to go even fur-
ther than Citizens United if the court
should undermine all contribution limits. I
mean, essentially, it would say anything
goes; there are no rules in terms of how to
nance campaigns, Obama said at a news
conference he called to address the stalemate
over the federal budget.

British physicist Peter Higgs,right,talking with Belgium physicist Francois Englert before a news
conference on the search for the Higgs boson at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
By Karl Ritter and Frank Jordans
STOCKHOLM Nearly 50 years after
they came up with the theory, but little
more than a year since the worlds biggest
atom smasher delivered the proof, Britains
Peter Higgs and Belgian colleague Francois
Englert won the Nobel Prize in physics
Tuesday for helping to explain how matter
formed after the Big Bang.
Working independently in the 1960s,
they came up with a theory for how the fun-
damental building blocks of the universe
clumped together, gained mass and formed
everything we see around us today. The the-
ory hinged on the existence of a subatomic
particle that came to be called the Higgs
boson or the God particle.
In one of the biggest breakthroughs in
physics in decades, scientists at CERN, the
European Organization for Nuclear
Research, announced last year that they had
nally found a Higgs boson using the $10
billion collider built in a 17-mile (27-kilo-
meter) tunnel under the Swiss-French bor-
der.
In a statement issued by the University of
Edinburgh, where he retired as a professor,
the famously shy, 84-year-old Higgs said
he hoped the prize would help people rec-
ognize the value of blue-sky research.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
City nances, development and
transportation are top issues for
those seeking the three open seats
on the Burlingame City Council.
There are nine seeking three
seats open on the council. Vice
Mayor Michael Brownrigg and
Mayor Ann Keighran are joined by
Nirmala Bandrapalli, former coun-
cilman Russ Cohen, Steve Duncan,
Alexander England Kent, Ricardo
Ortiz, Andrew Peceimer and Robert
Schinagl. Incumbent Cathy
Baylock opted not to run again.
Schinagl could not be reached.
Interviews were held to help the
Daily Journal determine endorse-
ments. To allow each candidate a
forum to express their opinions on
the issues discussed, candidates
were given the same questions and
asked to answer each in around 50
words. Answers are arranged alpha-
betically by the candidates last
name.
What is your impressi on of
the ci tys current nanci al
situation and how would you
like to see it change?
Nirmala Bandrapalli: The
citys nances are prudently man-
aged, but we need to continue set-
ting aside, and increase when pos-
sible, monies to meet unfunded
pension/benefits liabilities. We
also need to prioritize capital proj-
ects (including a new community
center and parking structure), with
input from residents and develop
a systematic/integrated plan to
nance them.
Mi chael Brownri gg:
Burlingame is in good shape, pro-
vided we stick to the scal diet
our council has adopted over the
last four years. Longer term, we
have serious pension/health liabil-
ities created by historic labor con-
tracts. We negotiated changes with
our unions for new hires to cap
long-term health costs, but theres
more to do.
Russ Cohen: The citys
nances are in better shape than
comparable cities due to good scal
planning by councils beginning
with the admission in 2005 that
deferred maintenance of infrastruc-
ture needed to be funded. That 2008
funding took pressure off the gen-
eral fund. Parking meter rate
increases have also helped the
parking enterprise funds and an
increase in TOT has helped as well.
I favor this attempt to expect the
unexpected and have healthy
reserves.
Stephen Duncan: I am glad
that the city is addressing unfunded
pension liabilities and hope the
city continues to maintain healthy
reserves in the general fund.
Ann Keighran: Burlingame is
in a relatively good nancial posi-
tion. We have 35 percent of our
operating budget in reserve. The
council has put aside $6.6 million
into a trust to help lower our
unfunded liability and will add
another $2 million-$2.2 million
per year starting the next scal
year. Our business-friendly
approach has brought revenue
diversity to ensure scal strength.
Alexander Kent: Burlingames
shaky nancial position ($76M in
unfunded health care liabilities as
of 1/2011) is the direct result of
Burlingames past city councils
allowing sweetheart deals to city
workers, such as free health care for

me two phone numbers. I called;
these calls were answered by record-
ings. Finally a real operator
explained that these people were in
meetings. After nally reaching
someone else who provided a few
details I found out since last Friday
(when the city gave notice to PG&E
that the line work began yesterday
evening.)
She had no idea about the current
status and said, Dont worry, only 40
percent of the line that runs beneath
Brittan Avenue is now functioning
[adding] further activity about this
problem could be had online or by
checking the local news service.
What is happening here?
Who should one call for immediate
information especially if it were after
normal business hours? The person at
City Hall said she thought the prob-
lem was not yet resolved and had no
idea when the work would be complet-
ed.

Shutdown who is to blame?
Editor,
Like petulant children, congres-
sional Republicans shut down the
government because they dont like
Obamacare. More to the point, they
dont like Obama. Obamacare is pri-
marily a Republican program, mod-
eled after the Massachusetts program
signed into law by Mitt Romney. It
provides health insurance to all
through private insurance companies.
When bringing the Affordable Care
Act into law, Obama compromised
wholeheartedly with Republicans; he
even abandoned the key element, a
single-payer public option. The
Republicans who want to destroy
Obamacare by shutting down our fed-
eral government are saying Obama
needs to compromise. Our democracy
cannot yield to terrorists within the
halls of Congress who want to
destroy our system of government.
If Republicans wanted to x
Obamacare, they could pass a specic
bill to x it. They tried 42 times to
kill Obamacare and failed. Now they
are attacking our governmental budg-
et and national economy. Its treason.

I
t is not often when there are
nine candidates for three open
seats on a city council but such
is the case with Burlingame this elec-
tion season. With two incumbents
seeking re-election and one incum-
bent, Cathy Baylock, opting out of
the race, a number of residents with
divergent points of view have come
forward to throw their hat in the ring.
In the last few years, the city has
been the beneciary of a modicum of
calm on the council after some years
of disquiet.
Aside from the disruption of
Burlingame Avenue for a streetscape
project that, believe it or not, is mov-
ing along quite well, there has been
more quiet than controversy. Part of
that is because the council has been
more about consensus than not, and
appreciative of the citizenrys contri-
bution to their decision-making
rather than being beholden to an ardu-
ous public process. So, in essence,
things are getting done, and people
are being listened to. And thats
progress.
The two incumbents running for re-
election, Ann Keighran and Michael
Brownrigg, are thoughtful, smart and
responsive to the community. From
development to nances, both have a
rm grasp on the citys issues and
know what it takes to meet new chal-
lenges moving forward. Both have
the ability to be receptive to various
points of views then make decisions
based on what is best for the city.
Both deserve your support.
The other candidates bring unique
points of view and ideas. We were
impressed with Ricardo Ortizs moder-
ate stances and ability to understand
city nances and welcome the input of
Andrew Peceimer when it comes to
emphasizing the need to make the
best decisions when it comes to the
publics money. However, former
councilman Russ Cohen also holds
those abilities and brings a unique
perspective as someone who has
already served on the council, been
involved in the community through
countless projects and understands the
need to retain certain amounts of the
citys charm and character. Baylock
has long been known as the member
of the council who would stand up for
the citys history and character and
Cohen would carry that mantle with
ease.
Cohen has also demonstrated a will-
ingness to stand up for what he
believes is right whether it be stop-
ping high-speed rail or ensuring the
citys historic buildings are pre-
served. Additionally, because of his
experience both off and on the coun-
cil, Cohen is extremely knowledge-
able of city issues and would hit the
ground running. There have been
times in which Cohen has been too
strident with misplaced levity, but we
sense a new maturity from him that
comes from the passage of time.
The city as a whole is the beneci-
ary of such a large number of candi-
dates and the discussion created by
them. However, the city will be best
served with Brownrigg, Cohen and
Keighran on the council.

New beginnings
W
hat is the price of an afternoon when a
small girl is soothed in your arms, when
the sun bolts through a doorway and
both you and the child are very young. Dorothy
Evslin.
The following is a column I wrote for the Millbrae
Sun back in 1986. That was when my first granddaugh-
ter was a little over a year. She is now the mother of
a little over a year daughter of her own. So this col-
umn is dedicated to my daughter who has been adjusting
to the fact that her daughter is a mother. Maybe she
doesnt believe she is old enough to be called grand-
ma, but she is thoroughly entranced with the little one.
Fortunately, both daughter and granddaughter live in the
area so we can visit fairly
regularly.
So back to 1986, a time
when many women of my
generation considered
homemaking and raising a
family a full-time job.
(My, how times have
changed!)
Little did I know, a lit-
tle over a year ago, what
having the first grandchild
would do to my life. Of
course, its not nearly as
traumatic as having your
own first child, but large
adjustments can be forth-
coming. After our children grew up and were going out
on their own, I celebrated by becoming involved in
many of the activities that had been put on hold for so
long. With returning to college, becoming enthralled
with volleyball, taking up writing newspaper columns,
plus continuing all of my regular hobbies and activities,
my life was full. The emptying nest never looked so
good.
Then, the unbelievable happened. I was going to
become a grandmother, and I wasnt ready for it. Talk
about ambivalent feelings! Things were going so well,
my life was in high gear. I was experiencing a freedom
and validity that most women of my generation do not
experience until this time of life. I knew myself well
enough to know that I would want to become closely
involved with the new baby not only to enjoy her
and help her grow up, but to give her mother support
and relief that I would have so liked when my kids were
babies.
There is nothing that renews your faith in life more
than a new baby. There is nothing that entrances you
more than that little bundle of humanity. There is noth-
ing that emphasizes the vulnerability and preciousness
of our children than watching the development of an
infant. There is nothing that can do more to remind us
of our responsibility to our children than those little
innocent, sparkling eyes looking at you with complete
trust or that tiny hand in yours as she takes her first
steps.
Im not sure exactly why Im so completely taken
with this child, but it seems to be an affliction of many
grandparents I know. She is my descendent and shes
very cute, but other things are involved. I think one is
that there are so many children in this world who do not
have it so good. Another is that she represents hope for
humanity.
As Eda LeShan wrote in When Your Child Drives You
Crazy: Our young are our own new beginnings, a tes-
tament to our trust in the future. The innocence, the
delight, the wonder, the vitality, the openness to life,
of childhood, are necessary to us. Without them we lose
touch with what is young and tender and creative within
ourselves.
I would think that all grandparents would be so
moved by those small miracles that their children pres-
ent to them that they would be up in arms about how so
many children in our society get such short shrift, about
how they are being exploited by profit-hungry corpora-
tions and people who have no respect for humanity,
how they are pushed into despair and hopelessness by
indifferent and/or abusive parents and how they hunger
for food, love and acceptance.
It takes a lot of energy (that seems to be in shorter
supply) for a grandparent to do all of those things we
love to do plus, at regular intervals, chase a crawling or
toddling baby all over the place. These labors of love
are wonderful, but its important that we save up enough
of ourselves so we can do something to make the world
a better place for all children.
In every child who is born, under no matter what cir-
cumstances, and of no matter what parents, the poten-
tiality of the human race is born again. James Agee.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock markets
slow bleed got a little worse Tuesday.
The decline is the result of squabbling
in Washington over raising the nations
debt limit and a government shutdown
that has dragged on for more than a
week. The stock markets moderate loss-
es in the rst days of the shutdown have
accelerated this week as the U.S. has
moved closer to an Oct. 17 deadline for
lifting the governments borrowing
authority.
Stocks opened at, moved steadily
lower and slumped in the nal minutes
of trading Tuesday. The loss added to a
three-week decline that has knocked the
Standard & Poors 500 index down 4
percent since it hit a record high on
Sept. 18.
Swings in the market will likely
increase the closer the U.S. gets to the
debt deadline without a resolution, said
Randy Frederick, Managing Director of
Active Trading and Derivatives at the
Schwab Center for Financial Research.
Virtually everyone expects that there
will some sort of a resolution,
Frederick said. But I wouldnt be sur-
prised if it only came right before the
last minute.
The S&P 500 index dropped 20.67
points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,655.45. It
was the biggest one-day drop for the
index since Aug. 20. The declines were
led by phone companies.
House Republicans have insisted that
a temporary funding bill include conces-
sions on President Barack Obamas
health care law. The president wants a
bill to simply reopen the government,
without strings attached.
Obama said he had told House Speaker
John Boehner hes willing to negotiate
with Republicans on their priorities,
but not under the threat of economic
chaos. Speaking at a press brieng in
Washington Tuesday, the president
warned that the U.S. risked a very deep
recession if the debt ceiling wasnt
raised.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
159.71 points, or 1.1 percent, to
14,776.53. The Nasdaq composite
dropped 75.54 points, or 2 percent, to
3,694.83.
Nervous investors also dumped short-
term government debt as they worried
that the standoff in Washington could
jeopardize the nations ability to pay its
bills, including interest on its debt, as
early as next week if Congress doesnt
raise the borrowing limit.
The yield on Treasury bills maturing
in one month soared to 0.28 percent,
hitting its highest level since the 2008
nancial crisis. The yield was 0.15 per-
cent the day before and close to zero at
the beginning of October.
The yield, which rises as the price of
the notes fall, has surged as managers of
money-market funds become more wary
of holding short-term government debt
that matures shortly after the debt dead-
line.
There were other signs of increasing
investor nervousness.
The VIX index, which rises when
investors are more concerned about
stock uctuations, climbed to its high-
est level of the year.
Unfortunately, were just held
hostage by whats going on in
Washington, said Dan Veru, chief
investment ofcer of Palisade Capital
Management.
U.S. companies will start reporting
earnings for the third quarter in earnest
this week, giving investors something
else to think about besides Washington.
Aluminum producer Alcoa, which was
recently removed from the Dow, said
Tuesday that it had swung to a prot in
the third quarter, helped by demand from
automakers and by cost-cutting moves.
The company reported its earnings after
the stock market closed.
Stocks fall as investors wait on Washington
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK Twitters stock debut is the biggest coming-
out party since Facebook, and Wall Streets largest exchanges
are ghting to host it.
The company has yet to announce an exchange, but when
its shares go public most likely before Thanksgiving
Twitter executives could either ring the opening bell on the
oor of the New York Stock Exchange or sign Nasdaq Stock
Exchanges digital screen.
Either way, the initial public offering is much more than a
photo op for the winner. Listing Twitters shares and oversee-
ing their trading means adding revenue at a time when NYSE
and Nasdaq are losing business and struggling to keep up with
changes in trading technologies. Hosting this years hottest
tech debut also gives the winner an edge when it tries to lure
other IPOs, especially in the fertile area of social media.
Both Nasdaq and NYSE are courting Twitter heavily.
Bloggers, traders and the mainstream nancial media are
buzzing with rumors about Twitters choice. On Friday, CNBC
reported that Nasdaqs CEO was visiting Twitters headquar-
ters. Earlier reports said the micro blogging service was lean-
ing toward NYSE.
Adding Twitter would be another trophy for NYSE as it con-
tinues to grab more of Nasdaqs traditional turf in technology
IPOs. Keeping Twitter from NYSE would offer Nasdaq some
redemption after its disastrous job hosting Facebooks IPO in
May 2012, which resulted in lawsuits and a marred reputation.
Id be shocked if Twitter went to the Nasdaq, says Kevin
Landis, a portfolio manager with Firsthand Funds, who owns
shares in Twitter. The guys at Twitter want to do it as differ-
ently from Facebook as they possibly can, and that boils
down to even what exchange ... to trade on.
Both exchanges are certain theyre the better candidate.

NEWYORK Tweeter is not Twitter. And its stock sym-
bol has changed to avoid any confusion.
The bankrupt electronics retailers stock resumed trading
Tuesday under THEGQ. Its old symbol was TWTRQ.
That was apparently too similar to TWTR, the symbol
proposed by Twitter on Thursday when the messaging
service led plans for its highly anticipated initial public
offering.
Some confused investors sent Tweeters stock up as
much as 1,400 percent on Friday. And trading volume sky-
rocketed to 14.4 million shares. Over the past year, the
daily average was about 29,000, according to FactSet.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall
Streets industry regulator, halted trading of Tweeters
stock Friday afternoon to because of the misunder-
standing.

SHAW FIRES BACK: STANFORD COACH VEHEMENTLY DENIES FAKING INJURIES DURING WIN OVER WASHINGTON >> PAGE 12
DETROIT Oaklands relievers put the
Athletics within a win of the AL champi-
onship series by not allowing a run through
the rst three games against Detroit.
With a chance to advance Tuesday, the
bullpen couldnt come through.
Sean Doolittle lost the lead and gave up two
runs in the seventh inning, Ryan Cook and
Brett Anderson yielded three more in the
eighth, and the Tigers rallied for an 8-6 win to
force a decisive fth game in their ALdivision
series.
Its really frustrating, but I wouldnt have
done anything different, Doolittle said. I
just got beat.
As manager Bob Melvin, likewise, would-
nt second-guess his decision to take out rook-
ie Dan Straily after he gave up three runs over
six innings. Melvin gave Doolittle the ball
with a 4-3 lead in the seventh.
When Daniel came out, we had one of our
best relievers in the game, Melvin said.
Entering the game, Oaklands relievers had
held Detroit scoreless for eight innings and
hadnt allowed a run in the previous nine
games dating to the regular season.
Thats why Melvin wasnt willing to be too
hard on his relievers for letting a big win slip
away.
We put a lot of faith in our bullpen, he
said. One of the reasons that we are where we
are is because of our bullpen.
But now, the Tigers are heading back to
California thanks to Max Scherzer and per-
haps some fans in the stands.
During a relief outing to remember, Scherzer
escaped a major jam one inning after two fans
reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinezs
disputed home run that helped the Tigers
extend the series.
Playing from behind most of the way,
Detroit tied it rst with Jhonny Peraltas
three-run homer in the fth and then on
Martinezs solo shot in the seventh. Acouple
of fans attempted to catch Martinezs drive,

Football may have The Battle for
Seattle, but it seems Peninsula Athletic
League volleyball now has The Battle for
Atherton.
Menlo-Athertons student-run volleyball
fan club, The 7th Woman Club ironically
made up of predominantly boys caused a
halftime show of quite some controversy
yesterday at Menlo-Atherton. Play was halt-
ed midway through Game 3 to quiet the fan
club of 20 or so M-Astudents, but they were
silenced to no avail, as Menlo-Atherton (5-
0 Bay Division, 11-3 overall) went on to
score a monumental win over rst-place
Carlmont (4-1, 11-6) 25-18, 22-25, 26-
24, 22-25, 15-9.
The heated contest boiled down to an
exciting Game 5. With Menlo-Atherton
leading 7-6, Carlmont put a ball over the net
that scattered M-As defenders. But junior
Katie Wilcox made a remarkable diving save
to prolong the rally and eventually win the
point, averting a Carlmont tie. M-A led the
rest of the way to score the win in a battle of
Bay Division unbeatens.
Junior hitter Devin Joos made her debut
for Menlo-Atherton, and the powerful trans-
fer from St. Francis looks to be a game-
changer for the Bears. Joos tabbed a match-
high 27 kills, and commanded the net
throughout the decisive Game 5.
Ive been sitting on the bench just cheer-
ing for our team all season and I just wanted
to bring intensity because thats when we
play our best, Joos said.
Joos didnt waste any time showing what
a formidable tandem she and senior hitter
Pauli King will be, now that the two are tak-
ing the court for the rst time ever. King
blazed M-Ato a win in Game 1 with eight of
her 16 match kills, and proved a strong

Its safe to say the soccer gods in charge of
scheduling didnt do the Caada mens soc-
cer team any favors to begin the 2013 con-
ference season.
Right out of the gate, the Colts found
themselves in three tough matches against
teams that currently are a combined 20-6-3.
And unfortunately for the young Caada
squad, their record stood at 0-3 after those
initial matches.
But the Colts are nally in the Coast
Conference win column following Tuesdays
win over rival Skyline College 4-1. Khalid
Arramdani, whos having himself a breakout
season, scored all four of Caadas goals in
the victory.
Weve played a pretty competitive sched-
ule against some really good teams, said
Caada head coach Erik Gaspar. And weve
been very competitive in those games.
Maybe we havent been very lucky at times,
but Ive been pleased with the group. As a
testament to them, theyve stayed resilient
and we got the result that we did.
Caada hadnt won since a 1-0 victory
over Fresno College on Sept. 21. Arramdani
had the goal in that game as well. Since
then, Caada had scored just ve goals and
given up 13. Still, with the hardships of the
stretch, Gaspar said the team stayed posi-
tive.
Its wasnt too difcult, actually, Gaspar
said about keeping the Colts upbeat and
condent. We have a young team but this is
a good group, a great group of guys. We
knew it was just a matter of time. We told
them there is still a lot of soccer left to
play.
If they keep playing like they did against
the Trojans, then things can turn around
Colts pick up
crucial wins

STANFORD Stanfords David Shaw is
one of the most mild-mannered coaches in
college football. He rarely shows emo-
tions, and he rarely raises his voice.
Not Tuesday.
Speaking as passionately as he ever has,
Shaw emphatically fired back at Steve
Sarkisian after the Washington coach
accused the Cardinal of faking injuries.
Shaw opened his portion of the Pac-12
coaches teleconference
with a carefully crafted
statement, saying we
dont fake injuries, we
never have and we never
will. I dont condone it. I
dont teach it. I dont
allow it.
Shaw also began his
weekly news conference
at Stanford shortly after
referring to the same
hand-written notes. He called Sarkisians
allegations unprofessional and pointed
out that the only defensive coach he knows
of who has told players to fake injuries
works on Washingtons staff.
Huskies defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi
admitted to instructing players to fake
injuries against Oregon while he was an
assistant at Cal.
Thats not calling anybody out. Thats
just stating a fact. Its been proven. Its
been admitted and we all have moved on,
Shaw said. Later he added, We didnt do it
against Oregon, so why in the world would
we do it against Washington?
Former Stanford linebacker Chase
Thomas was accused of faking an injury in a
loss at Oregon in 2010 while Jim Harbaugh
was the head coach.
How we play at Stanford has led to three
BCS bowl games, a Pac-12, Rose Bowl and
Orange Bowl championships and a 100 per-
cent graduation rate, Shaw continued.
This is one of the most respected programs
in the country and Im not going to put that
on the line just to beat Washington.
Shaw also said he had discussions with
the Pac-12 Conference expressing his dis-
pleasure with the allegations. Both coaches
declined to comment when asked if they had
spoken to each other about the issue.
Im not even angry at Steve. Just think
he crossed the line. Could see him tomorrow
and say hi. But Im going to defend what we
do, Shaw said.
After fth-ranked Stanford (5-0, 3-0) beat
then-No. 15 Washington 31-28 on Saturday
night, Sarksian said in a postgame inter-
view with Seattles KJR radio station that
Cardinal players were faking injuries to try
to slow down the Huskies up-tempo offense
on the nal drive.
I guess thats how we play here at
Stanford, Sarkisian told the station. He
specically said he heard Stanford defensive
line coach Randy Hart who was an assis-
tant at Washington from 1988 to 2008
telling players to stay down following
plays.
Sarkisian stood by those comments again
Tuesday when asked about Shaws response.
We saw what we saw. We can leave it at
that. Two reasonable people can disagree on
something and move forward, Sarkisian
said.

For the College of San Mateo football
team, the time has come to go back to
basics.
For most football squads, that usually
means there has been a separation from the
fundamentals following a bad stretch of
play. But if youre a Bulldog right now, its
the complete opposite.
CSM is fresh off a 42-14 shelling of Delta
College and is riding a ve-game winning
streak in the 2013 season. But with the
NorCal Conference schedule looming two
weeks away, the coaching staff at CSM is
making sure their players stay sharp with
the things that have gotten them to 5-0 dur-
ing their bye week.
We do a lot of fundamental work, said
Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordinator
and assistant head coach. There isnt a ton
of game planning for our opponent this
week. We do some looks at conference
opponents. We do some of that, but we put a
big emphasis on fundamentals. Just making
sure our fundamentals are clean. Its basics,
its fundamentals, without too much pound-
ing so they can heal up.
A bye week after a successful non-league
run through the schedule is nothing new to
the Bulldogs who almost always have a
winning record after the rst ve games.
Now the task is concentrating on the huge
task that is the NorCal Conference. So in a
sense, Tulloch and the rest of the coaching
staff have CSM going back to page one of
the manual as a reminder of whats ahead.
We have a meat grinder coming into con-
ference with Foothill, San Francisco and
Butte back to back to back, Tulloch said.
And, were going to be able to re on all
cylinders and get as healthy as we can going
into that.
They were ring on all of those cylinders
last weekend in Stockton. And itd be bene-
cial for the Bulldogs to tap into that level
of play when conference play starts.
It was a complete effort offense,
defense and special teams all playing
together and thats what we were look-
ing for going into the bye week, Tulloch
said. :We wanted all the phases of the game
on the same page.
Defensively, the Bulldogs pitched a
shutout until the fourth quarter. Although by
then, they were already up 42-0 a couple
of those scores were provided by the defense
on pick-sixes.
It starts up front, Tulloch said. The big
guys up front, they set the tone for every-
thing. When those guys are on, it really
puts a lot of pressure on the offense, because
theyre in the backeld causing problems,
they put pressure on the quarterback. It just
makes the box really uncomfortable. If
those guys can continue to do that, we can
build off of that then its nice to see some of
the defensive backs get some interceptions
and get into the end zone. But it really does-
nt matter what you do defensively if the
guys up front are playing well.
Offensively, the Bulldogs were efcient in
racking up 460 of total offense 316 of
that via the rush.
It was a complete effort on that side of the
football. CSM quarterback Casey Wichman
completed 11 of 16 passes for 144 yards and
a touchdown. He also rushed for 33 yards on
nine carries and a TD. Raeshawn Lee caught
ve passes for 68 yards and Kevin Kutchera
had four receptions for 63 yards. George
Naufahu led the CSM rushing onslaught
with 73 yards on 10 carries and a TD. Quincy
Nelson had 51 yards on six carries.
But most importantly, the Bulldogs did
not turn the ball over a rst this season.
Thats critical, Tulloch said. Its tough
to win when you turn the ball over. When
you protect the football, its good for us as
a unit because our offense was methodical
and we had some explosive plays in the
passing game. And with that, not giving up
and defensively, we came out and did our job
then you kind of saw the phases come
together and gel. [Head coach Bret Pollack]
has been making it really Priority One, the
turnover margin, and when we win that, it
really puts pressure on the opponents to
have to drive through the defense.
Bulldogs hope to stay
sharp during bye week
Kentucky high schools
told no postgame handshakes
LEXINGTON, Ky. Kentuckys athletic
sanctioning body has ordered high schools not
to conduct postgame handshakes in all sports
following more than two dozen physical con-
frontations the past three years.
Tuesdays directive from Kentucky High
School Athletic Association Commissioner
Julian Tackett posted on its web site didnt men-
tion specic ghts or conicts but said several
fall sports have had postgame incidents. The
organization says its disappointing to take
such action but that it became necessary because
of occurrences statewide and nationally.
KHSAAhas also instructed game ofcials to
immediately leave facilities after contests or
risk being penalized.
Teams can choose to ignore the order.
Schools that can conduct handshakes must
supervise the activity and report any incidents
to KHSAA.
Member schools or coaches that engage in
unsportsmanlike behavior will be ned and
penalized.
It stops short of being a rule but it says that
if you choose to do it, youd better be able to
manage it, Tackett said Tuesday evening.
Theres no penalty for doing it, but If you dont
do it right, youre going to held accountable.
The commissioner said all sports have had
problems over the years but cited a ght
between volleyball players this fall as one
example of whats happening.
With the state football playoffs just around
the corner and the possibility of players shak-
ing hands after an emotionally-charged elimina-
tion game, the directive was implemented to
make schools take responsibility for conduct or
not performing a ritual of sportsmanship.
If you have 75 players shaking hands,
Tackett said, youd better watch whats going
on.

Hillsdale used its tried-and-true method to beat Menlo-
Atherton for the second time this season: sweep the singles
matches.
All four of the Knights singles players stayed unbeaten
in Peninsula Athletic League play to beat the Bears 4-3 to
improve to 8-0 in Bay Division play.
Cindy Liu, Hillsdales No. 1 singles player, rebounded
from a scare last week to win easily, 6-1, 6-1. Natalie
Spievack (No. 2 singles) won 6-2, 6-0, while No. 3 player
Mariko Iinuma blitzed her opponent, 6-0, 6-0. Irene
Palisco completed the sweep for the Knights, needing three
set to beat Laila Volpe 6-1, 3-6, 7-5.
Menlo-Atherton (4-4) swept the doubles matches, all in
straight sets. The No.1 duo of Sally Carlson and Amanda
Scandalios had the easiest time of the three, winning 6-3, 6-
4.
Aragon solidied its chances of making the PAL playoffs
by beating Burlingame 4-3.
Burlingame coach Bill Smith accomplished the goal he
puts forth every match in winning the doubles.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, they could not pick up a win
at any of the singles matches as the Dons swept those for
the team win.
Aislinn Oka had the most convincing win of the day for
Aragon (5-3 PAL Bay), winning her No. 3 singles match 6-
1, 6-1. Kaede Ishikawa (No. 1 singles) and Melissa Ma (No.
4 singles) won their matches by nearly identical scores, 6-
0, 6-2 for Ishikawa, 6-0, 6-3 for Ma.
Vickie Sun had the most difcult match of the day, but the
Dons No.3 singles players prevailed in three sets over
Sarah Sinatra, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.
In doubles play, Burlingames Madeline Somers and
Sammy Kotmel breezed to a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles.
In West Bay Athletic League action, Menlo School cruised
to yet another victory, sweeping Notre Dame-San Jose 7-0.
The Knights played only four matches because Notre Dame
defaulted at No. 3 and 4 singles, as well as No. 3 doubles
not that it would have mattered.
the Knights did not drop a set in running their WBAL
record to 3-0.
Menlos closest pursuer, Harker School, downed Crystal
Springs Uplands School, 6-1.
The Gryphons only win came at No. 4 singles because the
Eagles defaulted that spot.
Sacred Heart Prep also came up short, falling to Castilleja
5-2. The Gators two wins came at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles.
SHPs top doubles team of Lucie Ackley and Ruth Sarwal
dominated their opponent, 6-1, 6-1. The No. 3 tandem of
Taylor McKelvy and Lauren Trihy had to work a bit harder,
needing three set to pull out a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory.

defensive presence at middle court.
But by Game 3, a third hitter emerged from
the Bears fray in the person sophomore
Leanna Collins. After the fan-club hijinks
midway through Game 3, Collins was repo-
sitioned to right-side opposite setter, and
the move paid off. The second-year varsity
player turned in the best performance of her
career, totaling 17 kills.
We know [Carlmont is] a really good
team, and we had to come out and play
strong, Collins said. Im really happy
right now that we were able to do that.
Now Menlo-Atherton head coach Ron
Whitmill has the best problem a coach can
have. The Bears have a slew of talent, but
Whitmill is still trying to nd a way to get
all that talent on the court.
Weve got a lot of great players,
Whitmill said. Were still trying to get
them all on the court at the same time.
Whitmill said the problem is he has four
or ve good outside hitters, but can only
play three at a time. But yesterday, the
recipe seemed just right.
Its really easy (for opposing teams) to
key on Devin and Pauli, Whitmill said.
So, having that third option (such as
Collins), it can really pay off.
Carlmont senior Ella McDonough tallied
a team-high 22 kills. The Scots played an
all-around solid match, with a depth of con-
tributions, including 11 kills from
Charlotte Jackman, and six blocks from
Sabrina Miller.
As for The 7th Woman Club, the groups
leader, Josh Weiner, was called to the refer-
ee podium midway through Game 3. Weiner
was admonished because the fan club would-
nt refrain from cheering while Carlmont
was serving. Weiner, a senior who has been
a member of the club for four years, said he
felt the group was cheering within the
bounds of the Central Coast Section rules.
I checked the CCS rulebook, Weiner
said. They told us to cut it back, but we did
everything by the book.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Shane
Victorinos ineld single snapped a seventh-
inning tie and journeyman Craig Breslow gave
Boston a huge boost out of the bullpen, send-
ing the Red Sox into the AL championship
series with a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay
Rays on Tuesday night.
Koji Uehara got the nal four outs one
night after giving up a game-winning homer
and the Red Sox rebounded to win the best-
of-ve playoff 3-1.
Back in the ALCS for the rst time in ve
years, theyll open at home Saturday against
the Athletics or Tigers. Oakland hosts Detroit
in a decisive Game 5 on Thursday.
Both managers mixed and matched all night
in a tense game that felt more like a chess
match. Desperately trying to avoid elimina-
tion, Rays skipper Joe Maddon used nine
pitchers.
Breslow relieved Boston starter Jake Peavy
in the sixth and struck out his rst four batters
all of them in the middle of Tampa Bays
lineup.
The 33-year-old lefty from Yale has pitched
for six teams in eight big league seasons,
including two stints with Boston.
Xander Bogaerts scored the tying run on Joel
Peraltas wild pitch in the seventh and
Victorino followed with an RBI ineld single.
Dustin Pedroia drove in Bogaerts with a sacri-
ce y in the ninth to make it 3-1, and Uehara
struck out Evan Longoria to end it.
The resilient Rays won four win-or-go-home
games over the previous nine days and led 1-0
this time before Boston rallied.
David DeJesus snapped a scoreless tie with
an RBI single in the sixth and Boston squan-
dered several opportunities before nally
breaking through in the seventh.
Bogaerts, pinch-hitting, drew a one-out
walk and raced to third on Jacoby Ellsburys
two-out single off Jake McGee. The Rays
brought on their sixth pitcher, Peralta, and the
game shifted suddenly on his rst pitch, which
skipped in the dirt past catcher Jose Lobaton
allowing the tying run to score.
Ellsbury was stealing second on the pitch
and continued to third when the ball rolled
toward the backstop. Victorino beat out a slow
chopper to shortstop, putting the Red Sox
ahead 2-1.

SANTACLARA San Francisco defensive
tackle Ray McDonald expects to play Sunday
when the 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals.
McDonald tore a muscle at the top of his
right biceps when he sacked Matt Schaub dur-
ing the third quarter of Sundays 34-3 victory
over the Houston Texans. He was told he could
play with the injury as long as he can stand it.
Its going to be sore but I should be ne,
McDonald said. Ive got all my strength and
Im ne with that.
The injury for McDonald is the latest in a
series of ailments for San Franciscos defen-
sive line this season. Ian Williams went on
injured reserve after he broke his left ankle
during a loss to Seattle in Week 2.
In addition, rookie
defensive tackles Tank
Carradine and Quinton
Dial are on the non-foot-
ball injury reserve list,
though both could be
cleared to start practice
shortly.
McDonald and Justin
Smith are the only two
defensive linemen to start
all ve games.
Hes one of the toughest guys I know,
49ers nose tackle Glenn Dorsey said of
McDonald. I know that whatever he can do to
keep going, hell do it.
The 49ers have been able to remain compet-
itive, with Dorsey lling in for Williams and
Tony Jerod-Eddie nishing last weeks game
for McDonald.
The coaches and scouts go out and nd
players who can contribute to the team,
McDonald said. Tony did pretty good. He did
what he was supposed to do.
Jerod-Eddie had an interception.
You have moments like that where you
think That could have been my intercep-
tion,McDonald said. We have a saying that
were always happy for another guys suc-
cess.
McDonald said the tear will need surgery
following the season.
Im able to use it, so thats a good sign, he
said. Ill know more as the week goes on.
McDonald, in his seventh season, hopes to
practice with the team on Wednesday to test
the injury.
You always want a guy like that playing
next to you, Dorsey said. Hes a tough guy.
Like Jerod-Eddie, Dorsey was prepared when
his number was called.
Its about being resilient, he said. Its
about being prepared so that when your time
comes, youre ready to play at a high level.
Carradine, 11 months removed from surgery
to repair an ACLtear in his right knee, feels as
if hes nearly ready.
I still have to wait for the say-so, but I am
ready to get back on the eld, Carradine said.
All Ive been able to do is run and lift, so I had
no choice but to get better. Ive been watching
a lot of game lm and studying the playbook
so I can be up to speed and able to do what I
used to do.

SAN JOSE Tomas Hertl scored four
goals, Matthew Nieto had his rst NHL goal
and added two assists and the San Jose
Sharks beat the New York Rangers 9-2 on
Tuesday night.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Dan Boyle, Logan
Couture and Justin Braun also scored for the
Sharks, who won their third straight of the
young season. They have outscored their
opponents 17-4.
Jason Demers and Joe Pavelski each had
three assists. Hertl tied the Sharks record for
most goals in a game. Owen Nolan did it on
Dec. 19, 1995.
Brad Richards and Derek Dorsett scored for
the Rangers, who were coming off a 3-1 vic-
tory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday
night.
San Jose goalkeeper Antti Niemi needed to
stop 18 shots for the win
while Rangers goalkeeper
Henrik Lundqvist stopped
22 of 26 shots during his
nearly 30 minutes on the
ice. Martn Biron took
over in the net after the
Sharks built a 4-1 advan-
tage and saved 16 of 21.
The Sharks outshot the
Rangers 47-20.
The nine goals were one off the franchise
record.
The Rangers may have lost more than a
game. Star forward Rick Nash, who entered
the game with three assists, was taken off
the ice with an undisclosed injury.
Hertl saved his best for last. Driving
toward the net, the 19-year-old scored a
spectacular goal.
He skated in on Biron and put the puck
between his legs and scored over the backup
goalies right shoulder at 12:05 of the third.
Hertl also had two goals in Saturdays win
over Phoenix.
Richards opened the scoring on Tuesday
with his third goal of the season at 3:27 of
the rst. The Rangers converted their two-
man advantage. The long shot was aided by
Ryan Callahan, who had screened off Niemi.
The Sharks answered with a short-handed
goal less than a minute later, with Vlasic
blasting it past Lundqvist.
Boyle gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead at 7:56
of the rst period. Pavelski won a faceoff,
Nieto kept it alive and Boyle made the shot.
The Sharks scored three goals within a
span of 1:23 of the second period. Nieto
scored his rst career goal, followed by
Hertls rst of the game.
Biron was in the game for 20 seconds
when Couture scored, though it was hardly a
conventional goal. Patrick Marleaus shot
was wide and it bounced up the board and
ipped back over the net, where Couture
chipped it home.
Hertl added his second goal three minutes
later to make it 6-1.
Dorsett scored at 8:22 of the third period
and Hertl answered with a power-play goal at
9:02 for the hat trick.
After Hertls fourth goal, Braun closed out
the scoring with a power-play goal at 15:53.
NOTES: Thornton recorded his 789th
career assist, tied for 32nd on the all time
list. ... Callahan played just his second
game since labrum surgery sidelined him last
May. ... The Rangers are on a franchise
record nine-game road trip to open the sea-
son because of renovations at Madison
Square Garden.

Shaw also said Hart was steaming about
Sarkisians allegations. He called his assis-
tant one of the most respected coaches in
the country and said he doesnt care what
Sarkisian thinks he saw.
Randy pushes our guys. Its never pull
off, or fake this. No, its go, go, go,
Shaw said. Thats all Randy ever says is,
Go, go, go, go!
Stanford defensive end Ben Gardner and
linebacker Shayne Skov both were tended to
by trainers on the eld in the fourth quarter
for injuries. Shaw said Gardner was dealing
with an arm injury and dehydration, while
Skov hyperextended his surgically repaired
left knee when he collided with teammate
James Vaughters.
An MRI on Skovs knee showed no struc-
tural damage, Shaw said. Skov is expected
to play Saturday at Utah.
Both players denied on Twitter that they
were faking injuries.
Skov didnt take a dive, I didnt take a
dive. Never have never will. Stay classy
Washington, Gardner tweeted Sunday.
Sarkisian also disagreed with the replay
ofcials decision to call Kevin Smiths
reception incomplete after it was ruled a
catch on the eld. Smiths catch came on
fourth-and-10 at the Stanford 49 with less
than 90 seconds left.
Shaw initially said the play looked like a
catch from his view on sideline. However,
after seeing TV replays he had no doubt
overturning the call was correct.
It was an incomplete pass. I keep seeing
and hearing the word, controversial. Its
not controversial if the ball hits the ground.
It hits the ground. The replay shows it,
Shaw said.
Shaw said what upset him most about
Sarkisians statements is that it took away
from a great game on both sides.
Weve beaten Washington ve out of six
times, Shaw said. But when they beat us
(last year), I handled it, our players and
coaches handled it. We congratulated
Washington for outplaying us. We didnt
talk about the ofciating. We didnt talk
about anything else that Washington did.
They beat us, they outplayed us and we took
it and we moved on.

rather quickly for the Colts. And for that,
Arramdani will have to keep on his torrid
pace. The forward leads Caada with 20
points (nine goals).
Hes putting himself in good positions,
Gaspar said. Hes taking advantage of
some opportunities. Weve had a lot of
injuries on the team which has been disap-
pointing. But its allowed guys like Khalid
to really step up. Thats really helped us.
Also big has been the consistent play of
former San Mateo Bearcat and former Daily
Journal Boys Soccer Player of the Year
Benny Angeles. The midelder is rst on the
team with four assists.
Benny has been big time for us, Gaspar
said. I knew right out of high school he had
great potential and he has not disappointed.
Hes a tremendous teammate and has been
great in all aspects of the game.
Next up, the Colts have two games on the
road at Monterey and Gavilan colleges.
Those two teams are a combined 2-12-3
which means Caada can make up some
room on that 2-6 overall record.
I dont know if too much changes,
Gaspar said. We know we can play with
anyone, be competitive with anybody. Its
just a matter of staying disciplined, staying
mentally strong. Were not going to change
too much of what were doing.
In other community college soccer news,
the women of Caada were shut out by
Ohlone College 4-0.
The Skyline women also fell. They gave
up three rst half goals to Chabot College
and lost by a 3-1 margin. The loss comes
after the Lady Trojans beat up on Mission
College 5-0 to even their overall record.
They are now 4-5-1.
Menlo College defender wins honor
Senior goalkeeper Whitney Galindo was
named the Cal Pacs defensive player of the
week for Oct. 30 through Sept. 6.
The San Mateo native recorded a shutout
in the Lady Oaks 10-0 victory over Mills
College last Friday to mark her third con-
secutive shutout and fourth of the season.
Galindo has been an integral part of
Menlos conference leading defense which
allows just .563 goals per game and has led
the team to its best start in program history
(5-1 overall, 2-0 Cal Pac).
She currently boasts a goals against aver-
age of just .474.

and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he
reached over the railing above the wall, pre-
venting right elder Josh Reddick from hav-
ing any chance at a leaping grab.
Umpires upheld the home run after a replay
review.
It was clear he was not going to catch the
ball, so it was clearly going to be a home
run, said Gary Darling, the crew chief and
right-eld umpire. There wasnt any other
evidence on replay to turn it another way.
Reddick and center elder Coco Crisp imme-
diately protested, pointing up at the stands in
the hope of a fan-interference call. After the
game, Reddick said he thought the homer
should have been negated by fan interference
because there was no doubt in his mind he was
going to catch the ball.
It changed the momentum for them, it
changed the momentum for us, he said. Its
totally frustrating that a fan can inuence the
game.
Scherzer, making his rst relief appearance
since the 2011 postseason, gave up a run in
the seventh and got in trouble again in the
eighth. With the Tigers up 5-4, he allowed a
walk and a double to start the inning. After an
intentional walk to load the bases with none
out, manager Jim Leyland left his 21-game
winner on the mound.
Scherzer struck out Reddick and Stephen
Vogt before getting pinch-hitter Alberto
Callaspo to line out to center.
Detroit, hitless through the rst four
innings against Straily, added three runs in the
eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by
Omar Infante that made it 8-4.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the
ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the
plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth
Smith to end it.
The Tigers will now send Justin Verlander to
the mound for Game 5 on Thursday night in
Oakland. Verlander shut out the As at the
Coliseum in the decisive fth game of the
division series last year.

WHATS ON TAP
PHOENIX The SEC has been
called the best conference in college
football. With seven straight
national championships under its
belt, its a tough argument to count-
er.
The one knock about the SEC is
that its top-heavy. While teams like
Alabama, LSU, Florida and Georgia
always seem to be good, the lower-
end teams end up being punching
bags for everyone else.
The Pac-12, at least this season,
doesnt seem to have that problem.
With of national championship
contenders at the top and rapidly-
improving teams at the bottom, the
Pac-12 might be the nations deepest
conference.
Whats happened coaching-wise
in our conference and with our com-
petition top to bottom, its at an all-
time high, Oregon State coach
Mike Riley said on Tuesday during
the Pac-12 coaches teleconference.
Its to the point that there arent any
real surprises as much anymore, just
because the competition and the
level of play by each team. Each
game is going to be very, very inter-
esting.
Through the rst ve weeks of the
season, all but one team in the Pac-
12 California at 1-4 is .500 or
above.
No 2. Oregon (5-0), No. 5 Stanford
(5-0) and No. 11 UCLA(4-0) are all
undefeated headed into this week-
ends games. No. 16 Washington and
Oregon State are both 4-1 and
Arizona, which plays USC Thursday
night, is 3-1.
Arizona State is 3-2, but the Sun
Devils have played one of the
nations toughest schedules and
recently nished 2-2 on a four-game
stretch of games against Wisconsin,
Stanford, USC and Notre Dame, all
teams that have been ranked this sea-
son.
There is not anybody in the Pac-
12 that cant beat anyone, said
Arizona State coach Todd Graham,
whose team plays an improved
Colorado team at home on Saturday.
There is great parity in this league.
That hasnt been the case in recent
years, when the Pac-12 has been top-
heavy like the SEC, though with a
much smaller top: Oregon and USC.
The conference still has two clear
favorites, at least in terms of nation-
al championship contention, but its
now Stanford with the Ducks leading
the pecking order, not the Trojans.
The true strength in the Pac-12 lies
behind those two heavyweights.
After struggling the previous two
seasons, Oregon State started its
resurgence last year, going 9-4 after
winning three games in 2011, the
biggest turnaround in his school his-
tory.

FOOD
By Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON The govern-
ment shutdown has slowed or halt-
ed federal efforts to protect
Americans health and safety, from
probes into the cause of trans-
portation and workplace accidents
to tracking the flu. The latest
example: investigating an out-
break of salmonella in chicken
that has sickened people in 18
states.
The federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has
recalled some of its furloughed
staff to deal with the salmonella
outbreak, which has sickened
more than 270 people and was
announced by the Agriculture
Department late Monday. Before
Tuesday, the CDC had only a hand-
ful of scientists working on out-
break detection, severely hamper-
ing its ability to track potentially
deadly illnesses.
With federal workers on leave,
the states have had to pick up
much of the slack. In the case of
food safety, state labs are investi-
gating foodborne illnesses and
communicating with each other
without the help of federal author-
ities, in many cases to gure
out whether outbreaks have
spread.
Dr. Christopher Braden, head of
the CDC division that investi-
gates foodborne illness, said the
agency will be able to better mon-
itor the salmonella outbreak with
the recalled federal staff. But the
agency is monitoring more than
30 outbreaks, and gaps still exist
as the federal bureaucracy limps
through a shutdown beginning its
second week.
Theres a backlog, and the team
is going to have to work diligent-
ly and long hours to try and over-
come that, Braden said. Its pos-
sible we may find something
weve missed, and when thats the
case its harder to start investiga-
tions later than earlier.
With staff furloughed last week,
the CDC stopped monitoring for
some foodborne pathogens,
including shigella and campy-
lobacter. The agency is now
watching for those again, but
Braden said some investigations
are still on the back burner,
including an ongoing outbreak of
salmonella from handling live
poultry that has sickened more
than 300.
The CDC also has had to halt its
surveillance of u, an infectious
disease that kills about 24,000
Americans in an average year. The
agency tracks where large num-
bers of people are getting sick,
identies which strains are going
around information, and signals
when certain strains are becoming
impervious to certain medica-
tions. That information can bol-
ster vaccination campaigns and
guide doctors treatments.
The agency is also slashing its
stafng on quarantine stations at
20 airports and entry points.
When airline pilots or customs
workers become aware of a sick
traveler, they ag quarantine of-
cers who can detain, examine and
isolate those who might be an
infectious threat to the U.S. pub-
lic.
During the shutdown, quarantine
station staff has been cut by 80
percent, meaning theres essen-
tially only one person working at
each station, said Dr. Martin
Cetron, who leads CDCs division
of global migration and quaran-
tine. The lack of staff could
heighten the possibility that
some diseases could slip into the
country at a time when measles is
raging in Turkey and cholera is
breaking out in Mexico.
Outside the CDC, other agencies
that protect health and safety are
strained. The shutdown has forced
the federal Mine Safety and Health
Administration to halt its regular
mine safety inspections, which it
normally conducts at each of the
nations underground mines every
three months.
The lack of inspections is com-
ing under scrutiny after three mine
workers died in separate accidents
on three consecutive days during
the past week. The coal mining
industry has not had three consec-
utive days of fatal accidents in
more than a decade. MSHA has
said its premature to draw any
conclusions about the link
between the shutdown and the
accidents, but the nations largest
mine workers union has raised
alarms.
The governments watchdog
isnt watching, United Mine
Workers President Cecil Roberts
said. Safety violations that
would normally be caught and cor-
rected as a result of those inspec-
tions are being missed. Even the
smallest violations, when allowed
to accumulate, can lead to danger-
ous conditions very quickly in a
coal mine.
Federal occupational safety and
health inspectors have stopped
most workplace checks, and the
National Transportation Safety
Board is only investigating acci-
dents if ofcials believe lives or
property are in danger.
The Food and Drug
Administration also has stopped
routine inspections of food facili-
ties in the United States and
abroad, and border controls could
be delayed. Food imports are still
being inspected at borders, but
any samples that need to be ana-
Govt health and safety efforts slowed or halted

A pasta salad should be easy. It
should be a just-throw-the-ingre-
dients-in-a-bowl kind of food that
doesnt require too much messing
around.
With that in mind, we designed
this salad to be just that. We do a
quick boil of the pasta, and we
throw in the veggies to blanch
during the last 2 minutes. This
simple trick saves you a pot to
wash and an extra step.
Then we add some avor in the
way of salty prosciutto and sweet
melon, and youve got a classic
Italian pairing turned into summer
side dish. Of course, because its
pasta salad, the combinations
really are limitless. You can sub-
stitute any shape pasta you prefer.
Switch out the prosciutto for
bacon or salami, green beans for
the asparagus, peaches for the can-
taloupe. The great thing about
pasta salad is that its so easy to
make it yours.
PROSCIUTTO, CANTALOUPE
AND ORECCHIETTE SALAD
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
16 ounces orecchiette pasta
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and
cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mus-
tard
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thin-
ly sliced
4 ounces prosciutto, cut into
thin strips
1 cup diced cantaloupe
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Salt and ground black pepper
Shaved Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of salted water
to a boil. Add the pasta and cook
according to package directions.
Two minutes before the pasta is
nished cooking, add the aspara-
gus. When the pasta is nished,
drain immediately and mix in sev-
eral ice cubes. Stand the strainer of
pasta and asparagus in the sink
and run cool water over them until
completely cooled.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl
whisk together the olive oil, vine-
gar and mustard. Add the cooked
and cooled pasta and asparagus,
the fennel, prosciutto, cantaloupe
and basil. Gently stir to combine
and distribute the dressing.
Season with salt and pepper, then
garnish with the Parmesan.
Prosciutto and melon pairing inspire a pasta salad
You can substitute any shape pasta you prefer. Switch out the prosciutto
for bacon or salami, green beans for the asparagus, peaches for the

lyzed could be stalled because there are
fewer scientists to analyze them.
Many federal workers who protect
safety and health are still working, from
air traffic controllers to airport screen-
ers to the majority of federal law
enforcement. Active duty military per-
sonnel are on duty. USDAs Food Safety
Inspection Service, the agency respon-
sible for investigating the poultry farm
in California that is linked to the salmo-
nella outbreak, is also mostly staffed.
But t he absence of so-cal l ed
nonessent i al workers who are fur-
loughed can have a dangerous ripple
effect, said Caroline Smith DeWaal ,
director of food safety advocacy at the
Washington-based Center for Science
in the Public Interest.
She noted that the CDC website has
limited information and the USDA web-
si t e i s shut down, prevent i ng con-
cerned members of the public from find-
ing out more information on the salmo-
nella outbreak and other foodborne ill-
nesses.

trict can choose a representative supervisor
rather than having all voters choose all
supervisors. A lawsuit led in April 2011
also challenged the countywide process.
The requested hybrid maps will be tweaked
versions of the so-called community unity and
equity maps which were the two drafts most
requested by speakers. The community unity
leaves northern District Five intact as a major-
ity-minority Asian district but divided South
San Francisco and is favored by the backers of
the voters rights lawsuit that prompted the
boundary changes. The equity map, submitted
by the Republican Party, moves Redwood
Shores from District Three and splits six cities
about equally among districts.
Although many city ofcials asked the
supervisors to keep their jurisdictions
whole, some speakers backed the equity
map as the most fair answer because it is
impossible to keep every city undivided.
Debate also existed over denition of com-
munities of interest, one of the criteria the
supervisors can use in drawing the lines.
Along with race and population, the map
can be drawn in a way to keep such commu-
nities dened as race, church, school or
any number of other similar characteristics
together.
There is no right answer because the def-
inition ... is a broad and ambiguous term,
said Supervisor Dave Pine. It depends on

Pine is the one who rst prompted the
board to shelve a vote until the next meet-
ing. The county is obligated to decide by
Nov. 5 under the settlement of the lawsuit.
In the meantime, the county Elections
Ofce will also review the proposed maps to
clean up precincts and limit slivers of dis-
tricts too small to justify manning a polling
place on Election Day.
Daly City Councilman Sal Torres, who
also sat on the nine-person map advisory
committee, asked the board to favor the
community unity map because it cuts the
fewest number of cities and keeps communi-
ties of interest together in one district.
Communities of other interests in the coun-
ty may already be divided among cities, he
said.
South San Francisco Mayor Pedro
Gonzalez prefers the equity map because it
shares the burden of city splits.
Neither map appeased Menlo Park
Councilwoman Kirsten Keith because they
both split a city that has already seen a
recent congressional division.
Randy Schwartz, the Hillsborough city
manager, advocated for no specic map as
long as the town stays with Burlingame.
There is a strong link between our two
communities, he said. More than 100
years.
LINES
By Michelle Locke
Fancy having Brangelina, Drew Barrymore
and Dan Aykroyd over for dinner? No prob-
lem, theyll even bring the wine.
OK, maybe the stars themselves wont
show up, but their wines will appear with
just a wave of a credit card. You might start
with an aperitif of Angelina Jolie and Brad
Pitts new Miraval rose, move on to a light
pasta dish served with Barrymore Wines
pinot grigio, then perhaps nish up with a
glass of Aykroyds cabernet franc ice wine
for dessert.
Its hard to put a number on celebrity
wines, a category that includes singers,
sports stars, chefs and more. But Danny
Brager, vice president for alcoholic bever-
ages at market research rm Nielsen, says
theres close to 100 on the market at the
moment. It keeps growing all the time, he
said.
With thousands and thousands of wines out
there, having a recognizable name on the
label can help. Just breaking through the
clutter can be hugely difcult and I think
thats where a recognized name just in and of
itself can help break through that clutter,
said Brager.
Interestingly, the average price for all 750-
milliliter bottles of wine in the Nielsen data-
base is $9. Average price for celebrity wines:
$20. That could be due to a number of factors,
including the type of wine the celebrity is
selling some are drawn to high-end
efforts. Still, its a signicant gap, Brager
points out.
Jasper Russo, the fine wine buyer for
Sigels wine and spirits store in Dallas,
recently held a tasting of celebrity wines,
including Miraval, a partnership between
Jolie and Pitt and the Perrin French winemak-
ing family. When you have someone with
that kind of serious winemaking background,
thats going to tell you something, said
Russo. Theres a ip side, too. It tells me
volumes when I cant nd out from your web-
site whos making the wine.
True wine acionados are going to judge
the wine based on what the wine tastes like in
the glass. But you have lots of customers
who are not that picky about the wine. For
them, wine is just a hedonistic experience.

M
any years ago, I was vegan. And
I was rather fond of my tofu.
That was many years ago. Today
I am rather fond of my bacon. And steak.
And eggs. And all
manner of cheeses.
Still, every now and
again its worth revis-
iting the culinary
paths we walked
before. I may no
longer wish to abstain
from things meat and
dairy, but that doesnt
mean I must in turn
abstain from tofu. It
is, after all, a healthy,
delicious, affordable
and versatile protein that thanks to
being naturally lighter than meats and
seafood is particularly good in summer.
Back in the day, I loved cutting tofu into
cubes, then tossing them with chilled soba
noodles and spicy peanut sauce. It was a
robust, yet cool salad for a warm day. And
lately Ive found myself craving it.
But I decided to play around with the con-
cept a bit. I wanted more avor. And I want-
ed to make use of the grill to get it. The
results were terric.
One caution. It is important to search out
tofu that is already smoked and baked. Not
only is the avor of this style of tofu
(which are widely available in the pro-
duce/refrigerated Asian section at main-
stream grocers) better, the texture is superi-
or, as well. It has almost a cheddar cheese-
like density. Conventional tofu is watery
and avorless and can be fussy to grill.
If you need a shortcut for this recipe, you
could use bottled peanut sauce, but the a-
vor wont be nearly as good. It would be
better to make the sauce ahead of time and
store it in the refrigerator, where it will
keep (tightly covered) for several days.
SPICY PEANUT
NOODLE SALAD WITH TOFU
Start to nish: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
4 cups broccoli orets
Olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
8-ounce block marinated and baked tofu
(check the refrigerated Asian section at the
grocer)
6.2-ounce package soba noodles
2/3 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1-inch chunk fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
Hot sauce, to taste
2 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Heat the grill to medium. Check the
grates of your grill to see whether the broc-
coli orets are likely to fall through. If so,
line a small baking sheet or metal roasting
pan with foil, then mist with cooking
spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli
orets and about 2 tablespoons of olive
oil. Toss until evenly coated. Season with
salt and pepper.
Place the tofu slabs on the grill.
Carefully transfer the broccoli to the grill,
either directly on the grates or on the pre-
pared baking sheet or roasting pan. Grill
the broccoli for 3 minutes, the tofu for 8
minutes, or until the broccoli is lightly
charred and the tofu is nicely seared.
Transfer everything to a baking sheet in a
single layer. Place in the refrigerator to
cool.
While the broccoli and tofu cool, bring a
large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
Add the soba noodles and cook for 5 min-
utes, or until just tender. Drain well, then
transfer to the baking sheet in the refriger-
ator to cool.
Meanwhile, to prepare the peanut sauce,
in a blender combine the peanut butter, soy
sauce, water, rice vinegar, ginger and gar-
lic. Blend until smooth. Add a splash of
hot sauce, blend then taste and adjust with
additional hot sauce, if desired.
When the tofu, broccoli and noodles
have cooled, transfer the tofu to a cutting
board and cut into bite-size chunks.
Transfer the noodles to a large bowl and
drizzle the peanut sauce over them. Toss to
coat evenly, then add the tofu and broccoli
and mix gently. Garnish with chopped
scallions and peanuts.
You dont need to be vegan to appreciate tofu
J.M. HIRSCH
It is important to search out tofu that is already smoked and baked. Not only is the avor of
this style of tofu better, the texture is superior, as well.

revised.
The city is also looking to revise how it
enforces parking in the area to make it easi-
er for motorists to nd a parking space
while also generating extra income.
In February, the city began developing a
Downtown Parking Management Plan to
improve the use of existing parking spaces,
enhance parking services for downtown
visitors and employees and identify future
parking needs, according to a staff report.
The development of the plan will involve
substantial community input and the draft
plan will be presented to the City Council
soon with the nal plan presented for adop-
tion in early 2014, according to the staff
report.
Consultant CDM Smith studied parking in
downtown on Wednesdays and Saturdays
recently to determine when parking demand
is at its peak. The demand for parking in all
of downtown on Wednesdays is at its high-
est between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. but just 80
percent of practical capacity.
The demand for parking is at its lowest on
Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. at just
20 percent of practical capacity, according
to the staff report. On both Saturdays and
Wednesdays, parking is also at a premium
between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
In the downtown core, however, parking
demand exceeds the 85 percent practical
capacity at the peak times.
In addition to improving the use of cur-
rent parking spaces and enhancing parking
services, a third goal of the plan was to
identify future parking needs. CDM Smith
worked with the city to identify potential
scenarios impacting the number of public
parking spaces available downtown based
on certain assumptions about downtown
land use, according to a staff report.
Given the anticipated loss of parking
spaces from the sale of properties once
owned by the citys Redevelopment Agency
such as the former Kinkos site, Workers
Resource Center and the lot near Talbots ,
and potential development requiring public
parking, parking demand is projected to sur-
pass the practical capacity of 85 percent
occupancy of available downtown parking
supply. As a result, additional spaces would
be needed in both the short and long term to
reduce downtown parking occupancy to 85
percent based on these assumptions,
according to the staff report.
In recent months, the city has even part-
nered with high-tech companies to help
motorists nd an available space in the area
by using a mobile device app that uses sen-
sors buried in the street.
San Mateo has 135 sensors spread over
four blocks downtown that will be in place
for a two-year demonstration period as the
city embarks on a long-range mission to
improve the downtown experience.
The community forum is 6 p.m., tonight,
Conference Room C, City Hall, 330 W.
20th Ave., San Mateo. The commission
meets at 7:30 p.m. in council chambers.

electric charging stations for residents and
making sure the landscaping screens the
development well.
Jeff Byrd of developer Legacy Partners
told the commission offerings like the
transit passes are to incentivize people
to get new habits.
While the developer was amenable to
some changes, Byrd said they were trying
to add some amenities, like the chargi ng
stations, in pieces so that they dont pur-
chase things that become obsolete in 10
months if theyre underutilized.
The proposal now heads to the City
Council.
The project is eight four-story build-
ings with 280 apartments and 36,319
square feet of commercial space. Atransit
center and 226 commuter parking spaces
are also included. The project would sit
on a 10. 53-acre site containing the
existing historic train station and com-
muter parking lots, a vacant auto dealer-
ship building and vacant lots.
Legacy Partners will likely pay in-lieu
fees rather than set aside 15 percent of
units for affordable housing.
Project opponents have long argued the
project impacts the east side neighbor-
hood with traffic, noise and shadows. At
least one resident, GESC Ben Fuller, is
already mulling a ballot referendum if the
council approves it.
Fuller said he and the other GESC mem-
bers were not surprised at the 4-1 split,
calling Marsters the voice of reason on
the project. Fuller said the building size
and future of the trees if electrification
happens remain problems. Opponents
have also suggested an expansion of
Laureola Park as an added benefit to offset
the projects impacts.
The group is delighted the city lis-
tened about their worries regarding shut-
tles and taxi dropoff areas but, he said,
the question now is if the City Council
can reflect the will of the residents.

life for you and your spouse after only five
years of service, if you retire any time
after 50. This was obviously unsustain-
able.
Ricardo Ort i z : Burlingames revenues
are growing at a healthy pace. Hotel tax is
projected to come in above $18 million.
My fear is that as revenues grow, we will
loosen purse strings and allow expenses
to keep pace. We have talked about the
unfunded liabilities connected to our
employees and lack of reserves for large
capital projects. Fiscal discipline is need-
ed to ensure any surplus is directed at recti-
fying the unfunded obligations and infra-
structure.
Andrew Pecei mer: The current
finances are not sustainable. Burlingame
has approximately $40 million on hand,
but long-term debt with future health care
and unfunded pensions has increased mil-
lions to approximately $200 million. The
current council has not publicly spoken
about this huge increasing debt except cut-
ting new employee benefits.
Name a deci si on the counci l made
i n the l ast four years you woul d
have l i ked to have seen made di ffer-
ent l y?
Nirmala Bandrapalli: Execution of
the Burlingame Avenue streetscape plan
has caused great confusion. Council
should have ensured better signage and
better engaged/informed residents to
reduce pushback. We could have incen-
tivized local-shop employees to park in
outlying city lots, and developed a smart-
phone app to inform drivers of city park-
ing lot locations.
Mi chael Brownri gg: Early on, I pro-
posed we create voluntary incentives for
commercial property owners to either
improve or sell their properties in the
industrial areas. It would have been good
for business and for our property tax base.
Council declined because it would take
staff time and they worried the incentives
would not work.
Russ Cohen: The council signed an
exclusive agreement with one developer
with plans for a high-density affordable
housing complex on the site of the U.S.
Post Office and Parking Lot E. The pro-
jects scope has changed dramatically
since the original RFP was issued. More
developers might be interested in partici-
pating. With a project that may change the
very fabric of our downtown, it is impor-
tant to explore every angle rather than
rush to a conclusion that may not be best
for the city.
Stephen Duncan: The leaf blower ordi-
nance. I understand residents concerns but
feel that the city over-regulated the issue
by telling residents when and what days
they could use leaf blowers, depending on
what part of the city they lived.
Ann Keighran: I think that the council
should have been a part of the amicus par-
ticipation in the Town of Atherton v.
California High-Speed Rail Authority. We
may not win the case, but I do feel it is
important that we make clear that HSR or
Caltrain should not have the authority to
bypass CEQA.
Alexander Kent: The Burlingame City
Council regularly lets the state disregard
our local decision-making authority.
Burlingame needs to require a covenant on
the potential sale of the ECC building to
San Mateo Union High School District so
that they dont sneak in an alternative
high school right next to our life-blood
hotels ($18 million or 35 percent of the
general fund is from hotel occupancy
taxes).
Ricardo Ort i z : Two years ago, council
adopted a resolution limiting gas-powered
leaf blowers to one day a week. This deci-
sion came after multiple studies, staff time
and almost one year to make it. This was
an easily reversible decision that should
have been implemented as a trial without
the long delay. I found the process ineffi-
cient and wasteful of staff time.
Andrew Peceimer: The redevelopment
of Burlingame Avenue ignored the voices
of Burlingame citizens. An overwhelming
majority of residents did not want to spend
$17 million and have less downtown park-
ing, plus paying an additional 50 percent
for parking. The current City Council has
stated plans for a new parking structure,
but they have not set aside funds.
What types of devel opment woul d
you support downtown and near t he
transit corridor?
Ni rmal a Bandrapal l i: I support
design-appropriate, multi-family and
mixed-use housing near the transit corri-
dor, increased downtown parking with a
structure that blends in with our citys
small-town architecture, electrification of
Caltrain to improve service/reduce pollu-
tion and more amenities for people instead
of cars (public square, inviting walkways,
etc.).
Mi chael Brownri gg: Our community
labored over two years to produce a
thoughtful, 126-page vision for our reno-
vated downtown and I support it 100 per-
cent. It reflects hundreds of hours of input
from residents, land owners and civic lead-
ers. The plan envisions vibrant streets,
mixed uses, a parking garage, a public
square, adaptive reuse of historic assets,
etc.
Russ Cohen: Development downtown
must be carefully planned and must respect
the character and fabric of what has made
our downtown successful for so many
years. Before we agree to any one scheme,
we must think through every option and
every unintended consequence.
Stephen Duncan: I support a mixed
use of retail and housing with adequate
parking on the post office property, while
preserving the historic landmark status of
the post office.
Ann Kei ghran: In developing our
downtown specific area plan with commu-
nity input; it became quite apparent that a
town square would be a significant addi-
tion in improving pedestrian vibrancy. In
addition, attainable housing, boutique
hotel, entertainment options and retail
would add to expanding our pedestrian
friendly streets.
Al exander Kent : The Democratic
Party, Sierra Club and Burlingame City
Council all support Transit Oriented
Development near the Caltrain, because
TOD reduces traffic and helps the environ-
ment. State law requires Burlingame to
deliver 865 new housing units by 2022, so
I support some new apartments in our
downtown. Or, perhaps this state law is
yet another abuse of Burlingame local
authority?
Ricardo Ort i z : I support high-density
development as outlined in our downtown
specific plan. I have some serious con-
cerns about the use of city parking lots to
develop similar projects. In my conversa-
tions with voters, I have met few who are
crazy about adding more density to the
middle of our downtown and even fewer
that want city property used for that pur-
pose.
Andrew Pecei mer: I would support
some limited residential and commercial
growth provided the majority of
Burlingame residents approve. Any new
projects would need to have a traffic plan,
increased parking spaces and benefit our
community.
Do you f eel t he ci t ys bui l di ng
and pl anni ng fees are t oo hi gh, t oo
l ow or just ri ght?
Nirmala Bandrapalli: We dont hear
people complaining about them, so I
believe our citys building and planning
fees are just right. We raise them a little
each year to reflect the actual cost of the
services so that people arent shocked by
sudden increases.
Mi chael Brownri gg: Goldilocks
theyre just right! Seriously, I think the
highest priority in the building/planning
process is not fees but the speed with
which we clear projects or advise of defi-
ciencies and help owners address them
constructively. Especially in this econo-
my, we need to make it easy for people to
improve their properties within the rules.
Russ Cohen: The fees are commensu-
rate with surrounding cities; however,
political will is needed to ask for public
benefits for major commercial develop-
ments along with impact fees and perhaps
1 percent for art fees similar to other cities
on the Peninsula.
Stephen Duncan: I have heard that the
citys building and planning fees are too
high compared to neighboring cities.
Ann Kei ghran: Burlingame is on the
lower side in planning fees and at par with
building fees in comparison to other
Peninsula cities. The city of Burlingame is
only allowed to charge for the true cost for
their service; not to make a profit. Fees
have been incrementally increased annual-
ly based upon CPI.
Alexander Kent: Its not enough to
directly benchmark Burlingames quoted
fees versus other cities, because the City
Council and planning staff can reapply
them and delay projects at their will.
Think Safeways 20-year delay. Balance is
everything and the abuse of private prop-
erty rights by Burlingames past adminis-
tration has given Burlingame a bad reputa-
tion among job creating corporate real
estate decision-makers. Now, we want to
lease 767,000 square feet of Class AOffice
at Burlingame Point?
Ricardo Ort i z : I have not heard any
complaints while out campaigning. I
would say they are just right.
Andrew Pecei mer: The city building
fees are expensive. I recently spoke with a
homeowner who said he is paying more
than $20,000 in city fees to build a second
story on his home. We need to help
Burlingame residents retain more money
for their families.
What i s t he si ngl e most i mport ant
i ssue f aci ng t he ci t y i n t he next
four years?
Ni rmal a Bandrapal l i:
Multidimensional transportation plan-
ning (locally and regionally) not just
reactions to crises: Caltrain electrifica-
tion to reduce traffic congestion, a park-
ing structure in Burlingames downtown,
more bike lanes/pedestrian-friendly walk-
ways, enhanced shuttle services, a private-
ly funded Senior Taxi Service like the
one ITN America offers (see www.itnamer-
ica.org).
Mi chael Brownri gg: Always, it is the
budget. Without a sustainable budget, we
risk our great services and intangibles that
make Burlingame so special. I never again
want to argue about merging our whole
police force with San Mateo or closing
Easton Branch Library to save money.
Russ Cohen: The constant pressure to
change the fabric of Burlingame without
the foresight of how those changes might
impact the quality of life in Burlingame.
St ephen Duncan: Paying off the
unfunded pension liabilities and long-term
bond debt.
Ann Kei ghran: Lack of downtown
parking would be one of the most impor-
tant issues that needs to be addressed.
Parking studies have been performed and a
project summary was presented to the
community in February and March of
2013. We need to now figure out the loca-
tion, capacity and cost of providing short-
and long-term parking demands.
Al exander Kent: State law requires
Burlingame to deliver 865 new housing
units by 2022. We have nine years left.
The most contested location would be 100
units at Parking Lot E and the Post Office.
Complying with this state requirement, if
we choose to, will help to create budget
surpluses which will pay down our $76
million in unfunded pension health care
liabilities.
Ricardo Ort i z: Burlingames revenues
are growing at a healthy pace and the
temptation is to allow new projects to
cause expenses to rise. We have unfunded
liabilities connected to employee benefits
and overdue capital projects to fund. We
must keep fiscal discipline.
Andrew Pecei mer: The council
increased long-term debt/spending at an
unsustainable pace. They spent more than
$60 million in bond money, most without
voter approval. Our council has conceded
to high-speed rail in Burlingame. Our
mayor publicly stated support for this in
her campaign statement. I do not support
high-speed rail.
Q&A
PG&E pipeline on Sept. 9, 2010, resulted in
a deadly explosion and re that killed eight
people, destroyed 38 houses and damaged
dozens of other buildings.
The emails were revealed in connection
with a separate CPUC investigation of
problems with PG&E record-keeping on
pipelines. That probe is one of several
begun in the wake of the San Bruno explo-
sion.
In an emergency lawsuit led on Friday,
San Carlos obtained a temporary injunction
late that day from San Mateo County
Superior Court Judge George Miram requir-
ing PG&E to shut off service to the line for
the time being.
The utility completed closing off the line
from its transmission system on Sunday and
nished reducing pressure within the seg-
ment from 300 to 120 pounds per square
inch on Monday.
City Manager Jeff Maltbie said of
Tuesdays order, Were thrilled the commis-
sion has issued an order to keep the pipeline
out of service and start an investigation.
The quick response sends a very strong
message to PG&E to work with the city and
the CPUC and sends a strong message to our
residents that the CPUC cares greatly about
their safety, Maltbie said.
Maltbie said one of the citys concerns is
that a test conducted on the line by PG&E
with high-pressure water in 2011 may have
weakened the pipe.
That possibility was raised in the Nov.
17, 2012, internal email by Harrison, who
asked, Could the recent hydro test (have)
contributed to cracking in this pipe and
essentially activated a threat?
PG&E has said it believes the line is safe
because it passed the 2011 hydro test and
because a metallurgy analysis by an outside
company showed that a leak in October
2012 stemmed from external corrosion and
not from a rupture in a seam.
The San Bruno leak occurred in a break in
a welded seam, according to the National
Transportation Safety Board.
PG&E said in a statement Tuesday that it
will comply with the CPUC order and that it
welcomes the opportunity to demonstrate
to the commission and Peninsula communi-
ties that the line is safe.
We look forward to the opportunity to
document all the work that has gone into
maintaining and operating this line safely,
said Executive Vice President Nick
Stavropoulos.
He added, It is important that this valida-
tion be completed on an expedited basis
because Line 147 is even more critical to
our system once colder weather comes our
way. We dont want to be in a position of
being unable to serve our customers because
the pipeline is out of service.
The company said in its statement that in
addition to testing the line, it has taken
number of other steps to assure safety,
including replacing a 20-inch valve,
installing anti-corrosion protections and
conducting regular surveys and assess-
ments.
It said the questions raised by Harrison in
the email message last year were seriously
discussed and that the company encourages
employees and contractors to raise any con-
cerns they have about safety.
San Carlos Mayor Bob Grassilli said, I
want to thank the California Public Utilities
Commission for supporting the safety of
the citizens of San Carlos. I look forward to
a positive resolution of this situation.
In another development, PG&E attorneys
asked San Mateo County Superior Court
Judge Robert Foiles Tuesday afternoon to
dissolve the temporary injunction issued by
Miram on Friday.
But Foiles declined to act on the request
and told the attorneys they could bring their
motion back to court Thursday, when
Miram, who was away Tuesday, is back on
the bench, according to a court clerk.
PG&E said in its statement that while it
will comply with the CPUC order, it will go
back to court to seek to end the injunction
because it contends that the commission
and not the court has jurisdiction over the
matter.
