San Carlos ofcials met with the
California Public Utilities
Commission yesterday over the
next steps in validating the safety
of a prominent city gas pipeline
including the hiring of outside
experts at a cost of $250,000.
The CPUC will conduct its own
investigation but the technical
consultants hired by San Carlos
will provide another set of eye-
balls, said City Manager Jeff
Maltbie.

Further environmental review
may be needed for the Burlingame
Elementary School District to
reopen Hoover Elementary
School, according to a judges ten-
tative ruling this week.
San Mateo County Superior
Court Judge Marie Weiner tenta-
tively ruled
Wednesday in
favor of the
Alliance for
Re s p o n s i b l e
Nei ghborhood
Planning that
sued the dis-
trict, stating it
needs to pre-
pare a full
Environmental Impact Report on
trafc impacts.
Superintendent Maggie
MacIsaac said the district is hesi-
tant to respond to anything for-
mally at this time because the rul-
ing is tentative.
When she [the judge] issues a
statement of decision, well know
more of the details of the deci-
sion, she said. Were hopeful
because of our trafc analysis and
throughout the whole process,
weve been more than open to
making sure to work with neigh-
bors to meet their needs. We hope
they will take into consideration
that were excited to open the
school.
The school is currently under
construction and slated to open for
the 2014-15 school year, but
MacIsaac said keeping that sched-
ule depends on the details of the
ofcial ruling.
In contrast, Christine
Fitzgerald, one of the petitioners
in the case and member of the
alliance, was pleased with the
decision.

Amajor San Francisco Bay Area
rapid transit system will continue
to run train service after unions
and management agreed to extend
labor talks past a midnight dead-
line.
Bay Area Rapid Transit and two
of its unions agreed late Thursday
to resume talks on Friday and pos-
sibly through the weekend as they
were facing the end of a 60-day,
state-mandated cooling-off period
that prohibited a strike.
If the clock had stuck midnight
with no agreement, BARTworkers
could have walked off the job
and hundreds of thousands of com-
muters could have been left strand-
ed again.
Were just trying to keep the
trains running, BARTspokesman
Rick Rice said.
Union leaders have not dis-
counted the possibility of striking
Monday.

County rethinks investments
The week of Oct. 11, 2008, San
Mateo County officials were think-
ing about limit how much money is
allocated to any one investment and
hire an outside party to help monitor
its portfolio as ways to prevent
future losses like the $150 million
hit caused by the
Lehman Brothers bank-
ruptcy.
The County
Investment Fund had 5.9
percent of its $2.6 billion in
Lehman Brothers, leading to a
potential $150 million loss by the
Wall Street company's bankruptcy
declaration. County financial experts
were still working out exactly how
much the cities, school districts and
special districts invested in the fund
stood to lose but the general agree-
ment is that it wasnt going to be
pretty.
U.S. to take stake in
banks, first since Depression
The government was set to buy an
ownership stake in a broad array of
American banks for the first time
since the Great Depression, Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson said the
week of Oct. 11, 2008, announcing
the historic step after stock markets
jolted still lower around the world
despite all efforts to slow the selling
stampede.
Separately, the United States and
the globe's other industrial powers
pledged to take "decisive action and
use all available tools" to prevent a
worldwide economic catastrophe.
"This is a period like none of us
has ever seen before,"
declared Paulson at a
rare Friday night news
conference.
Stock prices had hur-
tled downward in the United
States, Europe and Asia, even as
President Bush tried to reassure
Americans and the world that the
United States and other governments
were aggressively addressing what
had become a near panic.
County gets stellar credit rating
San Mateo was one of four
California counties whose credit rat-
ing was rated at the highest level by
financial services company Standard
& Poors, it was announced the week
of Oct. 11, 2008.
San Mateo Countys credit rating
went from AA+ a designation for
quality borrowers to AAA, which
denotes the best quality borrowers
who are considered reliable and sta-
ble.
San Diego, Marin and Santa
Barbara counties also had their credit
ratings change, the first time the
states counties have reached this
exceptional level of creditworthi-
ness, according to S&P Oct. 7,
2008 announcement.
Both San Mateo and San Diego
counties were rated AAA.
San Mateos rating, according to
S&P, was based on a number of fac-
tors including its being home to
industry leaders
Genentech and Oracle, a
strong job market and sus-
tainable real estate sector
due to high incomes. The
countys strong cash position, esti-
mated at $285 million as of Oct. 2,
countered its $70 million subsidy for
the San Mateo Medical Center, S&P
found.
Parcel tax finalized
The week of Oct. 11, 2008, the San
Bruno Park Elementary School
District Board of Trustees approved
the language for a five-year, $87 a
parcel tax for the March 2009 ballot.
The board said the need for raising
revenue was a combination of cut-
ting more than $3.2 million from
the districts budget over theprior
several years. Rocky financial times
in the state and federal government
added to the concerns for needing a
steady revenue stream.

nally printed five years ago this week. It

One of several San Mateo County men
caught in an online child pornography
sting was sentenced Thursday to a year in
jail for felony possession and ordered to
register as a sex offender for life.
Paul Michael Ambler, 60, pleaded no con-
test to the single count in July 2012 and his
sentencing has been delayed several times
since, most recently in September when he
failed to appear in court and his attorney
said he couldnt afford to fly back to
California from Arizona. On Thursday, he
was also placed on four years probation and
must surrender Jan. 11.
Authorities looked at Ambler after
Microsoft received a cyber tip in October
2010 about child pornography being
accessed from his IP
address, prosecutors said.
A search of his home
allegedly returned images
and videos of children
between the ages of 6 and
15 in various sexual acts
and some of the pornog-
raphy came from as far
away as the United
Kingdom. Authorities
reported also finding
numerous emails related to trading or for-
warding the images, too.
Ambler and nine others Gordon Lee,
44, of Daly City, Charles Vela Reyes Jr., 46,
of Menlo Park, Christopher Daniel Winans,
24, of East Palo Alto, Paul Tazbaz, 36, and
Samnang Chun, 23, both of San Mateo,
Steve Wilson, 52, and Cruz-Martin Caseiro-
Rosas, 32, both of South San Francisco,
and Stephen Wolf, 64, of Portola Valley
were arrested in March after being identied
as possibly being in possession of child
pornography during a Silicon Valley ICAC
Task Force investigation headed by the San
Jose Police Department. The task force tar-
gets peer-to-peer file sharing online by
tracking images of pre-pubescent children
through individual Internet protocol
addresses. The police then searched the
homes where those addresses originated.
Lee also pleaded no contest to a single
possession felony and received 10 months
for possessing videos and images of young
minors in sexual situations. Winans
received a year in jail and three years proba-
tion. Both must register as sex offenders.
The case against Tazbaz was dropped in
May for insufcient evidence, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
Chun has since committed suicide.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A motorist convicted of driving a stolen
vehicle into a man exiting his car to attend
a church Christmas pageant last year, then
fleeing to his girlfriends home where
authorities later discovered ammunition and
stolen property was sentenced yesterday to
14 years in prison.
Michael John Weiler, 28, was also ordered
to pay $89,150 to his victim, $1,348,708
to Sutter Select health plan and other resti-
tution. Weiler has credit of 325 days and
must serve 85 percent of his term.
The lengthy sentence was due in part to
the circumstances of the current case and a
juvenile criminal history, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Weiler pleaded no contest in May to
felony hit-and-run, causing great bodily
injury and having prior convictions in
return for up to 14 years in prison. Charges
related to the alleged stolen property were
dismissed earlier because prosecutors could
not prove he committed the Millbrae rob-
bery.
Weiler was driving a stolen Ford F-250
truck Dec. 19, 2012, when, just before 7
p.m., he collided with a man exiting his
vehicle on the 400 block of Miller Avenue
to attend the Christmas pageant at All Souls
Church in South San Francisco.
The driver did not stop but cameras in a
nearby parking lot lmed the collision and
a South San Francisco police ofcer later
recognized the truck from a photo. The vic-
tim was taken to a local hospital with life-
threatening injuries. He survived.
The ofcer tracked the truck to the South
San Francisco home of Weilers girlfriend
and contacted Weiler, who denied any
involvement with either the stolen 1997
vehicle or the hit-and-run incident.
Witnesses later identied Weiler and the
truck.

Keeping the citys nances in
order, along with growing business
and consolidating services are top
issues for four candidates seeking
two open seats on the Millbrae
City Council.
Reuben Holober, appointed
incumbent Anne Oliva, Douglas
Radtke and Ann Schneider spoke
with the Daily Journal for endorse-
ment interviews last week. Oliva
was appointed to the council after
the death of Nadia Holober, former
councilwoman and Reubens moth-
er. Mayor Gina Papan is termed
out. Handling construction and the
citys re assessment tax were also
of interest to candidates.
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.
Describe your vi si on f or
Site One.
Reuben Holober: Site One is
adjacent to the BART/Caltrain sta-
tion. It is well suited for mixed use
development that includes residen-
tial, retail and commercial space,
generating jobs, revenue and better
shopping options for Millbrae.
Convenient access to public tran-
sit makes Site One an ideal loca-
tion for bringing tech companies
to our city.
Anne Ol i va: I see lots of
potential. I believe the property
owners and developers will bring
us choices. And while they do their
jobs, council and city staff can be
actively promoting all the great
things Millbrae has to offer to help
attract interest in Millbrae.
Doug Radtke: Site One should
accommodate a prominent retail
anchor store, shopping and ofces
primarily. For example the average
Target brings in $38 million in
sales at 9 percent is $3.42 million
in sales tax revenue. Focusing on
hotels would be a disservice to
Millbrae residents. Southbound
BART ridership would increase
because of shopping.
Ann Schneider: An award-win-
ning destination of remarkable
urban TOD design that signicant-
ly increases our economic base,
provides new shopping, dining
and entertainment opportunities
including commercial, ofce and
living spaces, BART project con-
nectivity while providing a quick,
safe and vibrant gateway to the
largest multimodal transit station
west of Mississippi.
How do you envision the
ci t ys re department in v e
years?
Reuben Holober: Millbrae is
considering a re department merg-
er with Burlingame, Hillsborough
and San Bruno. A well-designed
merger will reduce excessive over-
head and management costs, allow-
ing Millbrae to retain frontline
reghters and maintain prompt
response times and excellent serv-
ices. Ill make sure any merger
agreement guarantees that Millbrae
controls our re services.
Anne Ol i va: I see our fire
department in the black in terms of
funding, providing outstanding
service to residents and working
collaboratively with other cities in
the region.
Doug Radtke: Sharing fire
services has helped create efcien-
cy in the budget, but our relation-
ship with the [Central County Fire
Department] needs to be moni-
tored. Giving up control gives City
Hall an excuse to often not be
directly accountable to the resi-
dents. We need to balance the budg-
et and consider our options careful-
l y.
Ann Schneider: Millbrae Fire
will join Central County Fire
Department [Joint Powers
Agreement]. We will have afford-
able funding sources in place that
allows for more than adequate and
timely responses to our entire com-
munity. We will gain resources of a
larger pool of employees and
equipment. Services and efcien-
cies will be greatly enhanced.
Do you think downtown has
the right mix of businesses?
Reuben Holober: Downtown
needs a stronger mix of stores,
consumer services and restaurants.
Better restaurant and retail variety
would keep Millbrae residents
shopping here and attract shoppers
from out of town. To attract higher
end stores and more dining
options, City Hall should collabo-
rate with property owners to allow
larger size storefronts.
Anne Oliva: Millbrae has a
diverse collection of businesses
and services. I rarely have to leave
town to nd what I want to eat, buy
or do.
Doug Radtke: The free market
will determine what businesses
thrive or fail. If residents are criti-
cizing the mix of businesses, they
should be aware it is a direct reec-
tion of lack of cooperation from
our government. All business
owners on Broadway are upset
about the City Council. Im the
only candidate with a business
mind.
Ann Schneider: No. We need
restaurants, retail shopping and
service opportunities that appeal
to Millbraes diverse population
and to the many hundreds of daily
visitors. Business property own-
ers should partner and consult with
city staff to attract the right mix
for our downtown business dis-
tricts instead of overloading on
similar ones.
What do you think of the
ci t ys current nancial situa-
t i on?
Reuben Hol ober: Millbrae
carefully balances its budget with
a 15 percent reserve. To stabilize
revenue and strengthen city serv-
ices, we must attract new business-
es to the area adjacent to the BART
station, and make downtown more
vibrant for retail. Improved rev-
enue will enable Millbrae to pay
for needed road and sewer repairs.
Anne Ol i va: We are operating
under a balanced budget and that is
good. But we need more revenue
coming in so that we can do more
to care for our city and residents
for example, we need to put more
money into infrastructure like our
streets and aging sewer system.
Doug Radtke: As an auditor, I
nd Millbraes nancial situation
unacceptable. We have not had
reserves for a decade. Our budget is
propped up by Band-Aid solutions
like the re assessment. Millbrae
should be aware the City Council
has made no secrets about introduc-
ing yet another tax next year.
Rampant indiscriminate spending
by the City Council created our
shortfalls and nancial woes.
Ann Schneider: The ve-year
budget forecast shows Millbrae
with a small increase in revenue
over expenditures. If the fire
assessment isnt renewed within
nine months, the revenue loss will
be approximately $1.2 million.
Millbrae has great business poten-
tial. Projects bringing in new rev-
enue need to be sought to prevent
future shortfalls.
A number of devel opments
along El Camino Real have
had chal l enges wi th con-
struction quality issues. How
can the city better work with
developers and resi dents to
help with those problems and
prevent such probl ems i n the
future?
Reuben Holober: With several
developments on the horizon,
Millbrae needs adequate building
inspectors to work proactively to
prevent problems and ensure quali-
ty construction, as well as suf-
cient code enforcement staff. The
city can avoid many problems by
making sure developers use rep-
utable local contractors who hire
skilled local construction workers.
Anne Oliva: Collaboration and
communication are keys during
the planning phase, construction
phase and after projects are n-
ished. We have a recent example of
how to accomplish great work
the Safeway project used profes-
sionals paid prevailing wages. And
it demonstrated how the City can
work with developers to achieve
success for all.
Doug Radtke: Those develop-
ments on El Camino were assisted
by Millbraes former [redevelop-
ment agency]. Individuals on
council have received campaign
funding and gifts from this devel-
oper. Millbraes inspector should
be held liable for allowing shoddy
work to pass. Individuals with
conict of interest issues should
not dictate policy on the City
Council.
Ann Schneider: Developers
and residents must meet with the
city first. Building criteria and
codes are available.
Communication is essential. The
developer is responsible for con-
struction quality. Well-trained
workers and paying prevailing
wages is important for successful
projects. Staff should be available
to work with developers and resi-
dents to resolve issues amicably in
a timely manner.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the intention of addressing growing
enrollment and inequity, the Sequoia Union
High School District voted 4-1 to allow
more students from East Palo Alto to attend
Menlo-Atherton High School.
The boards approval of changing its
open enrollment policy is designed to be an
interim step toward implementing boundary
changes currently under discussion.
Specically, students who participated in
the anti-discrimination lawsuit K-8 Tinsley
transfer plan, along with Ravenswood com-
munity area and Tierra Linda Middle School
students will be able to request transfers to
Menlo-Atherton. The policy provides for
these transfer requests to be honored up to
the extent to which Menlo-Atherton has
enrollment capacity. This will need to be
revised again as new boundaries are imple-
mented, according to a staff report.
The Tinsley transfer plan is a court-
ordered desegregation program that allows
students in the Ravenswood City School
District attendance area, who will be enter-
ing kindergarten, rst or second grade in the
following school year, to apply for trans-
fers to the following seven districts:
Belmont-Redwood Shores, Las Lomitas,
Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, San
Carlos and Woodside. Non-minority stu-
dents in those seven districts and Redwood
City may apply for transfers to
Ravenswood.
Trustee Carrie Du Bois voted against the
updated open enrollment policy for several
reasons, including the difculty in navigat-
ing open enrollment and the districts lack
of strategic plan.
I am not a big fan of open enrollment as
a way of solving our issues because a lot of
our kids dont have parent advocates going
around and choosing schools for them and
lling out paperwork for by Jan. 31, she
said. Im not crazy about that system; it
leaves our most disadvantaged students
behind, like foster children who move in to
the district later in the year. I think the issue
is really complicated, its not just about
proximity, its about making sure we serve
all kids as well as we possibly can.
She added that Menlo-Atherton is a very
rigorous school and that doesnt work for
all kids.
I would prefer to work on difcult issues
upfront before making the changes, she
said.
The decision comes on the heels of an
ongoing process to address growing enroll-
ment, which according to a study, will
increase from 8,200 students currently to
10,000 students in 2020.
Board President Chris Thomsen believes
this is a modest, imperfect step in the direc-
tion of bringing communities together, but
he is very enthusiastic about it.
As weve gone around the community
and heard throughout the district, weve
found a strong belief in keeping communi-
ties together, Thomsen said. We heard
loud and strong from parents from East Palo
Alto thats its a good plan and will be help-
ful to bring the community together.
In terms of school boundary changes, the
potential modications most directly affect
three communities within the district:
Ravenswood City Elementary District and
the North Fair Oaks neighborhood, both of
which sends its students to three different
high schools, and Tierra Linda Middle
School in San Carlos. Atentative map will
be brought to the board in November, fol-
lowed by meetings to give input into the
map.
At previous board meetings, North Fair
Oaks residents expressed concern for the
new boundaries, including that switching to
Sequoia and Carlmont high schools from
Menlo-Atherton High School would mean
longer travel times for their students and
less academic and athletic options for their
children.
Trustee Olivia Martinez said there was a
much smaller crowd at the meeting
Wednesday night, with a majority of the
speakers being parents, students, faculty
and staff from the Ravenswood area.
Some were concerned the district needed
a strategic plan, she said. Weve done
careful analysis of students currently in
Ravenswood schools and transfers in and
out of M-A, and it would be about 60 new
students per year if changes are made, which
they can easily accommodate.
The bigger issue for Menlo-Atherton is
the 400 additional students in its current
boundaries who are going to be added to the
school in the near future, Martinez said.
Afacilities task force had its rst meeting
Sept. 27 to explore options such as bound-
ary changes, open enrollment or even
opening a new school to address growth.
Additionally, the district has discussed the
possibility of seeking a construction bond
to go on the June 2014 ballot that would
pay for the additional classrooms and site
infrastructure.
Martinez notes that there will be a study
on how the district is going to pay for added
growth and consideration of the bond meas-
ure.
The district is perfectly capable of mak-
ing basic changes to accommodate stu-
dents, she said. The difference is going to
be the caliber of lab space. I dont know if
we would have enough funds locally [to fund
the growth]. We dont want to jeopardize
excellent standards of the programs we
have.
The most viable option seems to be
adding classrooms, she said, as nding 40
acres of land for a new school seems unreal-
istic.
Brown signs bill for pricier
community college classes
SAN FRANCISCO Abill that will allow
a handful of Californias community col-
leges to offer additional courses at inated
prices during short summer and winter ses-
sions earned Gov. Jerry Browns signature
on Thursday despite strong opposition
from student leaders and the chancellor of
the states 2-year college system.
AB955, sponsored by Assemblyman Das
Williams, D-Santa Barbara, authorizes six
specic colleges to charge students who
enroll during the special sessions fees of
$200 per unit, compared to the state-subsi-
dized $46 per unit price charged during tra-
ditional semesters and quarters. A typical
three-unit class that costs $138 during the
regular academic year therefore would cost
$600 during the winter or summer interses-
sions.
Brown vetoes imperfect
teacher discipline bill
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown on
Thursday vetoed what he termed an imper-
fect union-backed bill intended to stream-
line the dismissal of teachers accused of
misconduct, calling on lawmakers to try
again next year.
The bill, AB375 by Assemblywoman
Joan Buchanan, D-Al amo, was
approved by lawmakers a year after a
more stringent measure died in the state
Assembl y af t er opposi t i on by t he
states main teachers union.
Both measures responded to last years
arrest of a Los Angeles elementary school
teacher who was charged with nearly two-
dozen counts of engaging in lewd conduct
with students, including allegations that he
blindfolded his students and fed them his
semen in what he described as a tasting
game.
Brown signs laws to help veterans
SAN DIEGO Gov. Jerry Brown signed a
number of bills Thursday aimed at helping
veterans, including legislation that could
provide funds to expand affordable housing
to combat homelessness among former
service members.
California is home to a quarter of the
countrys homeless veterans.
Law requires breaks for
workers during hot weather
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has
signed legislation that will ensure workers
in industries such as agriculture and land-
scaping get rest breaks during hot weather.
Under the legislation from Democratic
Sen. Alex Padilla of Los Angeles, workers
exposed to extreme heat must be granted
cool-down periods during the work day.
Padillas ofce says SB435 is intended to
prevent illness, injury and death among
workers.

WASHINGTON The nations economy
on the line, President Barack Obama and
congressional Republicans groped incon-
clusively Thursday for a compromise to
avert an unprecedented U.S. default as early
as next week and end the 10-day-old partial
government shutdown.
We expect further conversations
tonight, House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor said cryptically at nightfall, after
he, Speaker John Boehner and a delegation
of other Republicans met for more than an
hour with Obama at the White House.
The White House issued a statement
describing the session as a good one, but
adding, no specific determination was
made.
Yet it seemed the endgame was at hand in
the crises that have bedeviled the divided
government for weeks,
rattled markets in the
U.S. and overseas and
locked 350,000 fur-
loughed federal workers
out of their jobs. Both
sides expressed fresh
hopes for a resolution
soon.
The up-and-down day
also featured a dour warn-
ing from Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who
told lawmakers that the prospect of default
had already caused interest rates to rise
and that worse lay ahead.
Appearing before the Senate Finance
Committee, Lew said the Treasury must pay
Social Security and veterans benefits as
well as salaries to active duty military
troops during the second half of this
month. He said failure to raise the $16.7
trillion debt limit by Oct. 17 could put
timely payment of all of
these at risk.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid advanced leg-
islation to simply raise
the debt limit and stave
off the threat of an
unprecedented federal
financial default a
measure that
Republicans are likely to
block unless he agrees to change it.
Across the Capitol, Boehner left open
the possibility of launching a rival measure
in the House on Friday.
As he described it for his rank and le in a
closed-door morning session in the
Capitol, it would leave the shutdown in
place while raising the nations $16.7 tril-
lion debt limit and setting up negotiations
between the GOP and the president over
spending cuts and other issues.
Shutdown/debt talks but no resolution yet
By Matthew Daly
WASHINGTON Under pressure from
governors, the Obama administration said
Thursday it will allow some shuttered
national parks to reopen as long as states
use their own money to pay for park opera-
tions.
Governors in at least four states have
asked for authority to reopen national parks
within their borders because of the econom-
ic impacts caused by the park closures. All
401 national park units including such
icons as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite and
Zion national parks have been closed
since Oct. 1 because of the partial govern-
ment shutdown. More than 20,000 National
Park Service employees have been fur-
loughed, and lawmakers from both parties
have complained that park closures have
wreaked havoc on nearby communities that
depend on tourism.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said the
government will consider offers to use
state money to resume park operations,
but will not surrender control of national
parks or monuments to the states. Jewell
called on Congress to act swiftly to end
the government shutdown so all parks can
reopen.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said his state
would accept the federal offer to reopen
Utahs ve national parks.
Utah would have to use its own money to
staff the parks, and it will cost $50,000 a
day to operate just one of them, Zion
National Park, said Herberts deputy chief of
staff, Ally Isom.
Interior Department spokesman Blake
Androff said the government does not plan
to reimburse states that pay to reopen
parks. Costs could run into the millions of
dollars, depending on how long the shut-
down lasts and how many parks reopen.
Congress could authorize reimbursements
once the shutdown ends, although it was not
clear whether that will happen.
Feds will let states pay to reopen national parks
Mich. governor testifies
about Detroit bankruptcy
LANSING, Mich. Michigan Gov. Rick
Snyder testified behind closed doors
Wednesday about his role taking Detroit
into bankruptcy, a rare interview with
lawyers for creditors who pressed him about
retiree pensions and asked if the city could
have done more to avoid the historic ling.
Snyder waived executive privilege and
gave a three-hour deposition at his ofce in
Lansing. The testimony can be used as evi-
dence in an upcoming trial that will deter-
mine whether Detroit is eligible to shed or
restructure at least $18 billion in debt in
U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Snyder, a Republican, didnt speak to
reporters but issued a statement that repeat-
ed many of his previous justications for
the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. histo-
ry.
Scott Carpenter, second
U.S. astronaut in orbit, dies
DENVER Scott Carpenter, the second
American to orbit the Earth, was guided by
two instincts: overcoming fear and quench-
ing his insatiable curiosity. He pioneered
his way into the heights of space and the
depths of the ocean oor.
Conquering of fear is one of lifes great-
est pleasures and it can be done a lot of dif-
ferent places, he said.
His wife, Patty Barrett, said Carpenter
died Thursday in a Denver hospice of com-
plications from a September stroke.
Carpenter, who lived in Vail, was 88.
Carpenter followed John Glenn into
orbit, and it was Carpenter who gave him
the historic sendoff: Godspeed John
Glenn.

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

WASHINGTON The debut of the govern-
ments health insurance marketplaces drew a
huge audience and underwhelming reviews.
Just 7 percent of Americans say the rollout
of the health exchanges has gone extremely
well or very well, according to an AP-GfK
poll.
The reaction was somewhat better among
supporters of the new health care law, but still
middling: 19 percent said the rollout went
extremely well or very well.
Among the uninsured a key audience for
the health exchanges 42 percent said they
didnt know enough to judge how well the
rollout had gone, suggesting an ongoing lack
of awareness about the program in its early
days.
Despite the bumpy rollout, plenty of
Americans are giving the system a try.
Seven percent of Americans reported that
somebody in their household has tried to sign
up for insurance through the health care
exchanges, according to the poll.
While thats a small percentage, it could
represent more than 20 million people.
Three-fourths of those who tried to sign up
reported problems, though, and thats reect-
ed in the poor reviews.
George Spinner, 60, a retired government
worker from Ruther Glen, Va., said he man-
aged to create an online account and password
before he got stuck.
It kept telling me there was an error, he
said.
Reynol Rodriguez, a computer technician
from San Antonio, said he was able to do
some comparison shopping online but
computer glitches kept him from signing
up.
I was very much looking forward to it,
said Rodriguez, 51. Thats what this country
needs affordable health care.
Rodriguez pledged to keep trying just
what President Barack Obama has been rec-
ommending to those whove run into trouble.
Count Janice Brown, a semiretired travel
agent from Prather, Calif., among those who
had a positive experience.
After some initial trouble on the website,
she got through to a help line and downloaded
an application to buy a plan for $1,500 a
month for herself and her husband. Thats
$1,000 less than her current private plan.

Letters to the editor
W
ith four candidates for two open
seats on the Millbrae City
Council, voters have an inter-
esting array of choices in front of them.
Anne Oliva was appointed to ll the seat of
the late Nadia Holober and Mayor Gina
Papan is termed out. Oliva joins Reuben
Holober, Douglas Radtke and Ann
Schneider in this campaign.
Holober is incredibly impressive for
someone of his age. While it might be easy
to dismiss someone in their mid-20s as not
having enough real-life experience,
Holober has the rmest grasp on the citys
issues of all candidates and reveals a deep
understanding of what it takes to lead the
city into the future. From development and
attracting new business to having a keen
focus on the citys nances and maintain-
ing the proper approach to sharing servic-
es, Holober shows he has a tremendous
command of the citys past, present and
future needs. He comes from a family of
public servants. His mother served on the
Millbrae City Council until her death earli-
er this year. His father, Richard Holober,
serves on the San Mateo County
Community College District Board of
Trustees. But he has his own ideas and can
express them eloquently. And he is the face
of the citys future. While being young
could be seen as a liability, he represents
the next generation of leaders and has the
ability to begin that leadership now.
Radtke is also young and has some inter-
esting ideas about the citys nances and
development plans. One idea he has is lur-
ing an anchor store such as Target to Site
One, directly adjacent to the Millbrae
BART/Caltrain station. Perhaps not the
exact t for the location, but its practical
and an example of out-of-the-box think-
ing. However, Radtke doesnt seem to have
the mindset to work on a ve-member
council and could be more disruptive than it
is worth. Coming up with new ideas is one
thing, but working in collaboration with
others who may have a different set of
experiences and perspectives is quite
another. We hope he remains interested and
shares his point of view in a productive
way.
Schneider has a history of community
service and a broad knowledge of the citys
issues. We disagree with her desire to keep
the re assessment fee permanent, and
would like to see the city explore new
avenues of revenue instead. But that can be
accomplished through thoughtful delibera-
tion about the appropriate mix of develop-
ment near transit and an emphasis on eco-
nomic development. Schneider has a good
handle on both and is also interested in fur-
ther exploring partnerships with other
governmental agencies such as school dis-
tricts to get more bang out the citys
municipal buck.
Oliva has a solid tenure of community
service and a vote for her would certainly
not be wasted. However, as an appointed
incumbent, we would have liked to have
seen a better focus on details.
In this race, the best candidates for the
two open seats are Holober and Schneider.
Congress has failed us
Editor,
I consider myself the typical citizen; I
believe the politicians I elected should rep-
resent me and do what we, the majority, ask
them to do. Our present congressmen and
women have failed us completely. The
party line is more important than the peo-
ple they represent. My suggestion is since
the federal government has been brought to
a stop and services are refused to us citi-
zens, there is only one answer. Since we
are not getting the services we pay for, we
should refuse to pay federal taxes for the
period they play this game. Shame on you,
Congress.

Redwood City
Remember the
conduct of candidates
Editor,
Regarding the lawsuit brought by
Redwood City Council candidate Corrin
Rankin over the ballot designation of can-
didate Ernie Schmidt and her demand that
the city pay her attorney fees from the city,
some facts need to be set straight
(Redwood City candidates square off in
t he Oct. 3 edition of the Daily Journal).
Ms. Rankins attorney has made appar-
ent misstatements about the circum-
stances and unfairly criticized the city of
Redwood City and the councilmembers
who, reluctantly, and in an effort to pre-
vent further expenditure of tax dollars,
authorized the payment of the fees.
There was no judgment by a court deter-
mining that Mr. Schmidts ballot designa-
tion as chair of the Redwood City
Planning Commission was improper. Mr.
Schmidt was on solid legal ground for his
designation, and it is the type of designa-
tion that was previously approved by San
Mateo County.
Mr. Schmidt, to avoid ongoing litiga-
tion and expenditure of city tax dollars,
voluntarily, without court order, agreed to
change his designation to business-
man. He could have fought the matter in
court or insisted that the designation also
include planning commissioner but he
did not. There was no effort made on the
part of Ms. Rankin to discuss or resolve
her concerns prior to her filing a lawsuit.
Ms. Rankins attorney feels Ms.
Rankin was shamed by councilmember
comments made when they reported on
their decision to pay the fees. It appears
Ms. Rankin would prefer that the public
be presented with only her side of the
story. Her attorney remarked that the vot-
ers should remember the councilmembers
when they go to the polls and of
course they should remember the conduct
of the candidates, including Ms.
Rankins.

Shortage of jurors
remains a problem
Sacramento Bee
L
ike voting or serving in public
ofce, jury service is a duty and
privilege of citizenship. Gov. Jerry
Brown was right to veto Assembly Bill
1401, which would have allowed nonciti-
zens to serve on juries and by so doing sub-
tly diluted what it means to be a citizen.
Yet the problem the bill sought to address
a persistent shortage of jurors remains
vexing and expensive for the courts.
Statewide approximately 10 million jurors
are summoned for service, but only 4 mil-
lion of those are available and qualied for
the task. And even fewer, 1.5 million
prospective jurors, actually report to courts.
Courts struggle to nd sufcient numbers
of jurors to serve and the cost of jury service
to the courts and to those who serve has
become a real strain.
Remedies are available. The Legislature
could consider granting the courts authority
to reduce both the size of juries and the num-
ber of peremptory challenges that can be
applied to prospective jurors. Some 39
states have already reduced jury sizes,
according to a report this year by the
Presiding Judges Advisory Committee Jury
Working Group.
That report made several specic recom-
mendations: For all felonies, there would be
no change to the traditional 12-member
jury. However, the number of peremptory
challenges in which lawyers are not required
to state a reason would be reduced from 20
per side to 12 for cases involving life sen-
tences and from 10 to six per side for all
other felonies. For death penalty cases, the
20 peremptory challenges allowed per side
under current law would not be changed.
For misdemeanors where conviction car-
ried the potential for penalties of six
months or more, jury size would be reduced
from the current 12 to eight and the number
of peremptory challenges reduced from 10 to
six per side.
All other misdemeanors would be adjudi-
cated in court trials with a judge presiding
and no jury at all.
In all civil cases, the number of jurors
would be reduced from 12 to eight.
Its estimated that the changes proposed
would save beleaguered California courts an
estimated $5.1 million annually in direct
costs. Community costs, which include the
loss of productivity, wages and business
activity, would be reduced by approximately
$174 million annually.
The reason to reduce jury sizes, however,
is not to save the courts money. Indeed,
theres an argument to be made that
California should pay jurors more to make
up for lost wages and workplace hassles and
to make jury duty more attractive. Reducing
the size of juries, however, would make it
easier to bear these costs.
The changes suggested are not without
controversy. Opponents, mostly from the
defense bar, argue that reducing the size of
juries or the number of peremptory chal-
lenges would result in juries with less diver-
sity in viewpoints, background, experi-
ences, races, age and gender.
The push back from supporters is that
peremptory challenges have been used his-
torically to exclude minority jurors and thus
reduce diversity.
Despite the savings, and despite the rec-
ommendations of judges most knowledge-
able about the problem, the forces support-
ing the status quo have prevailed. Asingle
very modest bill introduced on the subject
this year to reduce the number of peremp-
tory challenges allowed in misdemeanor
cases failed to even get a hearing.
The courts are facing serious economic
distress. In some counties courts have gone
dark, and access to justice has been serious-
ly reduced. Gamesmanship in jury selection
wastes everyones time and money. The
reforms recommended deserve considera-
tion.

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
NEWYORK You can almost hear
Wall Street exhaling.
The Dow Jones industrial average
soared more than 300 points Thursday
after Republican leaders and President
Barack Obama nally seemed willing to
end a 10-day budget standoff that has
threatened to leave the U.S. unable to
pay its bills.
The news drove the Dow to its
biggest point rise this year and ended a
three-week funk in stocks. It also
injected some calm into the frazzled
market for short-term government debt.
Republican leaders said Thursday
they would vote to extend the govern-
ments borrowing authority for six
weeks. Aspokesman for Obama said the
president would likely sign a bill to
increase the nations ability to borrow
money so it can continue paying its
bills.
Congressmen and women are com-
ing to terms with how calamitous it
would be if the debt ceiling was not
raised, said Joseph Tanious, Global
Market Strategist for J.P. Morgan Asset
Management. Cooler heads are pre-
vailing.
The Dow jumped 323.09 points, or
2.2 percent, to close at 15,126.07, its
high for the day.
The nal surge came even as Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid said
Democrats would not negotiate with
Republicans as long as the government
remains partly shut. Reids comments
were reported about 15 minutes before
the market closed at 4 p.m. Eastern
time.
Stocks have steadily declined since
mid-September as Washingtons grid-
lock got investors worried that the U.S.
could default on its debt and wreak
havoc on global financial markets.
While traders applauded a potential deal
between the White House and
Congress, more volatility could be
ahead if it falls through.
We dont need some grand bargain.
We just need to avoid a default, said
Brian Reynolds of chief market strate-
gist at Rosenblatt Securities. Just
dont bring us to the edge again.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
36.16 points, or 2.2 percent, to
1,692.56 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 82.97 points, or 2.3 percent, to
3,760.75.
Thursdays gains were extraordinarily
broad. Of the 500 stocks in the S&P
500 index, only 11 fell. Banks and
industrial stocks rose the most.
A possible compromise between the
two political parties could not come
soon enough. Treasury Secretary Jack
Lew has said the government will hit its
borrowing limit on Oct. 17. That would
leave the U.S. with enough cash to last
just a week or two before a default
became a real risk.
A short-term extension of the debt
limit is the right approach, said Jack
Ablin, who manages $66 billion as
chief investment ofcer at BMO Private
Bank.
It allows politicians to turn down
the heat a bit while still keeping the
broader issues on the front burner,
Ablin said.
In another bullish signal, small-com-
pany stocks rose even more than the
rest of the market. Those stocks tend to
be riskier than large, well-established
companies but can also offer investors
greater rewards. A sharp increase in
small-company stocks means investors
are more comfortable taking on risk.
The Russell 2000 index jumped 26.04
points, or 2.5 percent, to 1,069.50. It
is less than 20 points from an all-time
high reached on Oct. 1.
There were also hopeful signs in the
market for short-term U.S. government
debt. The yield on the one-month
Treasury bill eased to 0.21 percent from
0.27 late Wednesday.
The yield had spiked from near zero at
the beginning of the month to as high
as 0.35 percent Tuesday as investors
dumped the bills out of concern that the
government might not be able to pay
them back when theyre due. Investors
demand higher yields when they per-
ceive debt as being risky.
Wall Street exhales as threat of default eases
Starbucks asks customers to sign petition
NEW YORK Starbucks, known for its piping hot
coffee, is throwing itself in the middle of yet another
heated national debate.
The worlds biggest coffee chain said Thursday that it
will ask customers and businesses to sign a petition
calling for an end to the partial government shutdown
that has forced hundreds of thousands of federal workers
off the job.
The petition, which will be available at all Starbucks
11,000 U.S. locations to sign beginning Friday, calls
for reopening the government, paying debts on time
and passing a long-term budget deal by the end of the
year. In addition to Starbucks customers, the company
is trying to get the CEOs of the nations largest compa-
nies to sign.
The move is unusual for a company like Starbucks.
While big brands generally steer clear of politics to
avoid alienating customers, Starbucks and its outspo-
ken CEO, Howard Schultz, in recent years have run
toward the spotlight by trying to gain a voice in nation-
al political issues.
Safeway 3Q net income drops but beats Street
PLEASANTON Safeway said Thursday its third-
quarter net income fell 58 percent, hurt by a software
impairment charge, higher theft and lower property
gains.
Results beat expectations however and shares rose 6
percent in aftermarket trading.
The grocery chain, which operates 1,406 stores in the
U.S., also says its exiting the Chicago market by early
2014 to focus on more protable business. It operates
72 Dominicks stores in Chicago that have been losing
money. The move comes after Safeway said in June it
would sell its Canadian stores.
Business briefs
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The number of peo-
ple applying for U.S. unemployment
benets jumped by 66,000 last week to
a seasonally adjusted 374,000. But the
spike was largely because California
processed a huge backlog of claims and
the partial government shutdown
prompted some companies to cut jobs.
The Labor Department said Thursday
that the less volatile four-week average
rose 20,000 to 325,000. The sharp
increase in both the weekly gures and
the four-week average comes after
applications hovered near a 6-year low
the previous week.
A government spokesman said that
about half the weekly increase occurred
in California, where ofcials processed
applications that were delayed several
weeks by a computer upgrade. One-quar-
ter of the increase reected applications
from employees at government con-
tractors and other workers affected by
the shutdown.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
Before last week, they had declined
steadily over the past three months.
Thats a sign companies are cutting
fewer workers.
The broader picture is still that labor
market conditions are improving,
albeit not quite as much as we previous-
ly thought, Paul Ashworth, an econo-
mist at Capital Economics, said.
Federal workers temporarily laid off
by the shutdown may also le for bene-
ts. But their numbers are reported sep-
arately and published a week later than
the other applications.
Lockheed Martin said Monday that it
is furloughing about 2,400 employees.
Thats lower than the 3,000 employees
the company initially said it would fur-
lough because Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel has recalled most of the
Pentagons civilian employees to
work.
Falling applications are typically
followed by more hiring. But there
arent any signs that that has happened
yet. Instead, job gains have slowed in
recent months.
Its not clear if hiring trends changed
last month. The government was
unable to issue the September employ-
ment report because of the shutdown.
However, last week payroll provider
ADPsaid businesses added just 166,000
jobs in September, evidence that hiring
remains sluggish. The ADP gures usu-
ally diverge from the governments
more comprehensive employment
report.

Favorites face off
in league opener
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
OK, now its for real.
And if you are Mills and El
Camino football teams, Friday
doesnt just mark the beginning of
the 2013 Peninsula Athletic
League schedule. No, with five
non-league games in the books,
its clear the Vikings and Colts are
the two front-runners in the PAL
Lake Division.
So, with their 3 p.m. matchup
today in Millbrae, the winner
assures themselves of the upper-
hand very early in the league sea-
son.
It doesnt get much realer than
that.
In my mind, Mills is denitely
someone to contend with, said El
Camino head coach Mark Turner.
Theyve had a real strong presea-
son. Its tough to tell whos at the
top of the league. Every week,
every day things can change with-
in this league. I do like the fact
theyve had a good season because
it helps us know that theyre for
real. If we want to get where we
Carlmont (0-0 Lake, 2-2 overall)
at Hillsdale (0-0, 2-2), 3 p.m.
Both of these teams are coming
off a bye. The Scots succumbed
to San Mateo 19-10 two weeks
ago. The Knights were annihi-
lated by Alameda, 55-24.
Hillsdale beat Carlmont 30-14 last
season. If defense wins champi-
onships, Carlmont has a shot at a
Lake Division title. The Scots are
allowing the second-least amount
of points among Lake team, giv-
ing up an average of 15.7 points
per game. Conversely, the
Scots have struggled offensively,
averaging 14.7 points. If
Hillsdale defense can step up even
a little bit, the Knights have a
shot to make some noise. Theyre
scoring nearly 30 points per game
which any coach would take
but theyre giving up 35. RB
Giancarlo Boscacci has returned
for the Knights and has already
rushed for four TDs in just two
games.
Sequoia (0-0 Bay, 3-1 overall)
at Terra Nova (0-0, 4-0), 7 p.m.
Both these teams were off last
week. The Cherokees were
crushed 34-7 by Cedar City-Utah
two weeks ago. The Tigers
torched Salinas 38-13. This
will be Sequoias rst taste of Bay
Division play since the PAL
became a power league and was
formed in 1996. The Cherokees
were held to just 174 yards of
offense last week, including only
28 rushing yards on 29 carries.
Before the loss two weeks ago,
Sequoia was averaging 42 points
per game. Terra Nova has
looked unstoppable through the
first four weeks of the season,
scoring an average of 47 points
while giving up 17 per game.
QB Anthony Gordon has already
become one of the most prolic
passers in CCS in just his rst var-
sity season. The junior has thrown
for 1,316 yards, averaging 329
yards passing per game with 12
TDs. Unlike the last several
Tiger QBs, Gordon is almost pure-
ly a pocket passer, having rushed
just three times this season.
Half Moon Bay (0-0 Ocean, 1-3
overall)
at Woodside (0-0, 0-5), 7 p.m.
The Cougars had a bye last week.
Two weeks ago, they were crushed 47-
6 by Menlo School. These two last
met during the 2011 season, with Half
Moon Bay recording a 48-21 win.

OAKLAND Justin Verlander pitched
another Game 5 gem in Oakland while carry-
ing a no-hit bid into the seventh inning,
and Miguel Cabrera homered to lead the
Detroit Tigers past the Athletics 3-0
Thursday night and back into the AL cham-
pionship series.
Joaquin Benoit retired Seth Smith on a y
ball with two on in the ninth to close out
the deciding game of their division series.
The Tigers became the rst team to reach the
ALCS in three straight years since the New
York Yankees from 1998-2001.
Game 1 is Saturday in Boston. The Tigers
went 4-3 against the Red Sox this year.
They have never faced each other in the
postseason.
Verlander gave up a clean, two-out single
to Yoenis Cespedes in the seventh to end his
chance at the third no-hitter in postseason
history. The hit hardly fazed him, however.
On a night he allowed only three baserun-
ners, Verlander made it a postseason-record
30 straight scoreless
innings against one team
since Coco Crisp hit a
leadoff home run for the
As in Game 1 last
October.
Just 364 days earlier,
Verlander tossed a four-
hit, 6-0 masterpiece in
Game 5 in this very ball-
park, a 122-pitch per-
formance for his first
career postseason shutout and complete
game.
He nearly matched that with a spectacular
111-pitch outing in a rematch of his
thrilling pitchers duel with rookie Sonny
Gray ve days earlier in Game 2.
Aching slugger Cabrera hit a two-run
homer in the fourth off with a drive into the
left-eld seats for his rst homer since Sept.
17 and just his third extra-base hit in 99 at-
bats. That ended a 20-inning scoreless
streak by the Tigers at the Coliseum.
Gray danced with danger from the start
with stuff not nearly as crisp as just ve

SANTACLARA His black hooded sweat-
shirt pulled over his head and covering most
of his face, Anquan Boldin stood at his locker
Thursday staring back at a dozen or so
reporters with a serious expression.
No reason to dress up or soak in the spot-
light. Boldin said its just another week.
Sure it is.
The wide receiver will be facing his former
Arizona team for the second time Sunday when
the San Francisco 49ers (3-2) host the
Cardinals (3-2) in an NFC West matchup.
Boldin spent his rst seven seasons with
Arizona before being traded to Baltimore for
two draft picks following the 2009 season.
Boldin also downplayed the reunion leading
up to his rst meeting against the Cardinals in
2011 in Baltimore.
He took out any lingering feelings on the
eld, catching seven passes for 145 yards to
rally the Ravens past Arizona 30-27.
Boldin sees no reason to be sentimental
this week.
After all, he said, the
franchise he played for in
Arizona and helped lead
to the Super Bowl after the
2008 season, when the
Cardinals lost to the
Pittsburgh Steelers has
had so many changes its
almost unrecognizable
now.
I dont know any of those guys. Probably
about two guys remain, Boldin said.
Plenty has changed for him as well since his
days in the Arizona desert.
Boldin won the Super Bowl with the Ravens
in February. He was traded to the 49ers in the
offseason for a sixth-round draft pick in a
cost-cutting move by Baltimore.
And at age 33, hes become Colin
Kaepernicks No. 1 target with so many
injuries to other wide receivers, notably
Michael Crabtree, who will be out until at
least November rehabbing a torn right
Achilles tendon.
Anquan has been everything we expected
and then some, 49ers offensive coordinator
Greg Roman said.
Boldin leads San Francisco with 26 recep-
tions and 393 yards. But he has caught just
one touchdown pass since the season opener,
when he had 13 catches for 208 yards and a
score in a win over Green Bay.
What the 49ers love most about Boldin is
that, whether the team wins or losses, his
demeanor never changes.
The same qualities that dened him earlier in
his career hes smart, savvy and plays with
an angry attitude are still a driving force in
the locker room and in the huddle in San
Francisco.
Sometimes it kind of comes off as quiet or
even a little angry, but hes just serious about
winning and serious about his job and I love
that about him, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh
said on a conference call with Arizona
reporters this week.
I really dont think I exaggerate this when
I say it, but with the kind of presence that he
has, he would very much make a great senator.
I think Senator Boldin is something that
could be in his future because he cares about
people, hes very smart and hes got extreme-
ly high character.
San Francisco will settle for what Boldin
has done on the eld for now.
Boldins production this season has been
tied mostly to the health of tight end Vernon
Davis, who has 14 receptions for 224 yards
and four touchdowns.
Boldins best games have come when Davis
played and played well to ease the pres-
sure from the constant double teams defenses
throw at one of them.
That was a familiar script during Boldins
time in Arizona, too. He teamed with
Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald to form one
of the NFLs best tandems.
The two still found success without each
other. And they remain friends off the eld,
including going to Africa on a relief mission
this offseason. But Sunday will be different.

Anquan Boldin
Minnesota coach Jerry Kill
on leave for epilepsy
MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota coach Jerry
Kill has taken an open-ended leave of
absence from the team to focus on treatment
and management of his epilepsy.
The university announced the decision
Thursday, before a news conference with
athletic director Norwood Teague and defen-
sive coordinator Tracy Claeys.
Its a big step for him, Claeys, the act-
ing head coach, said at TCF Bank Stadium.
Kill had to miss the last game at Michigan
when he suffered a seizure at home that
morning and was unable to travel with the
team, and Claeys called that the turning
point in Kills thinking about needing more
time away to rest, recuperate and adjust to
new medication.
Teague and others have talked about the
importance of taking more responsibilities
off Kills plate to reduce stress and fatigue,
which can be triggers of seizures, though
theres no predictability to them.
This was a difcult decision to make, but
the right decision, Kill said in a statement
distributed by the university. Our staff has
been together a long time and I have full
condence in Coach Claeys and them during
my time away. Every decision that will be
made will be in the best interest of the play-
ers and the program. I look forward to
returning to the Minnesota sideline on a
full-time basis soon.

Despite only one win between them, both these squads faced
some tough competition in non-league play. Of the eight com-
bined teams they have played, six came from A leagues.
The 56 points Half Moon Bay scored in a Week 3 win over
South City is more than the Cougars have scored in their three
losses 48. Woodside managed only 182 yards of offense
against a stiff Sacred Heart Prep defense last week. The
Wildcats have allowed more than 40 points each of their last
three games. Josh Holman has been one of the best two-way
players in the PAL this season. He is the Wildcats most dan-
gerous offensive threat and is tied for rst on the team in unas-
sisted tackles with 19.
Sacred Heart Cathedral (0-1 WCAL, 2-2 overall)
at Serra (1-0, 4-0), 7 p.m.
The Irish were shut out 21-0 by Valley Christian last week.
The Padres prevailed over Bellarmine, 17-7. Serra won
34-7 last year. SHC comes into the game averaging just
over 27 points per game, while allowing just under 20.
Serras win last week was a season low in points allowed.
Through four games, the Padresdefense has allowed 20 points
or more only once 21 to De La Salle, which has since aver-
aged more than 35 points over its last four games. The
Padres also came up with four sacks last week. Making his
rst varsity start, Serra QB Anthony Smock delivered, throw-
ing for 163 yards. Offensively, the Padres piled up 346 yards
against Bellarmine.

BEST
Aragon (0-0 Ocean, 3-1 overall)
at Capuchino (0-0, 1-3), 3 p.m.
The Dons had a bye last week. They were beaten by Scotts
Valley 28-19 two weeks ago. The Mustangs also were off
last week. They outmuscled by El Camino 33-0 two weeks
ago. Aragon beat Capuchino 42-7 last season. In their
three wins, the Dons are averaging just under 40 points per
game. Capuchino took a step backward in the loss to El
Camino, considering the Mustangs were coming off an
impressive 35-7 win over Gunn the previous week. In
their three losses, the Mustangs are surrendering an average
of 37 points.
Menlo-Atherton (0-0 Bay, 3-1 overall)
at South City (0-0, 2-2), 7 p.m.
The Bears had last week off. Two weeks ago, they blasted
Silver Creek, 52-13. The Warriors also had a bye. They
were walloped 51-0 by Burlingame Sept. 27. This is the
rst meeting between these teams since M-Awon 21-20 in
2008. M-Ais averaging 182 yards passing and 187 yards
rushing so far this season. The Bears have thrown for a
combined 515 yards in their last two games. RB Isiah
Nash is averaging just over six yards per carry and has
rushed for 469 yards and seven TDs. Nash has scored two
TDs per game over his last three games. South City, after
winning its rst two games by a combined two points, has
lost its last two by a combined score of 107-14. The
Warriors are averaging 15 points of offense per game so far
this season.
Kings Academy (2-2 overall) at Burlingame (4-0), 7 p.m.
The Knights blasted Calvary Murrieta 49-14 last week.
The Panthers pounded Jefferson, 54-6. This is the only
the second time these teams have faced each other. Kings
Academy beat Burlingame 41-14 in 2008, the Knights rst
season in the Peninsula Athletic League. Its been feast
or famine this season for Kings Academy. In its two wins,
the Knights are averaging 52 points and allowing 10.5. In
their two losses, the Knights have scored an average of
seven points while giving up an average of 48.7.
Burlingame has destroyed every team in its path so far this
season, averaging 48 points per game and have eclipsed the
50-point mark in its last two contests. Defensively, the
Panthers are just as impressive, having allowed a total of 18
points this season and have recorded two shutouts.
The Rest
want to get our goal is to win the championship then
thats the rst step.
Mills is off to its best start in ages. Under Mike Krieger,
the Vikings are 3-1 which equals last years season total.
With running back Antonio Jeffrey leading the way, Mills
has put up high offensive totals. They come into the game
averaging almost 38 points per game. Defensively, theyve
pitched a shutout, and despite surrendering 28 points twice,
only one of those games ended in a loss two weeks ago
against Los Altos.
Theyve been playing good football, Turner said. So
with that said, thats alerted our guys with, Hey, theyre for
real. Theyre a real contender in this league which we
believe we are also. Its helped motivate our kids. Now the
games really count. This league, you only get ve games,
you really have to take advantage of them. Weve been
through this before, but we have a new group of guys and
weve been trying to stress to these guys the importance of
executing and cutting down on the mental mistakes. If we do
those, well be ne in this league.
So far, the formula has worked for the Colts, who are also
3-1. In El Caminos lone loss, they gave Ocean Division
contender Aragon all they can handle. In their three win, the
Colts have allowed less than ve points a game. Turner said
the week leading up to the league opener, its been back to
the fundamentals solid defense and handing the ball to
their workhorse, Brandon Gip.
We accomplished a lot of what we wanted to accomplish
during the preseason, Turner said. But that said, theres a
lot of work to do, its a work in progress. These are young
minds were dealing with, so every day consistency is what
were looking for and we havent gotten that yet. But thats
why we have to keep coming out and working, keep getting
better.
With a high octane offense led by Jeffrey and comple-
mented handsomely by Victor Beglitsoff and Marquis
Adkins, the El Camino defense will have to be on point.
I believe your defense travels with you, Turner said.
You have to take it everywhere you go. We just have to exe-
cute and run the ball offensively. We have to execute a little
bit in the passing game, but we really need to get some
defensive stops, take care of the ball on offense, and run the
ball like were used to. Thats what we need to do. Thats El
Camino football. Maybe well make a big play or two.
Mills and Turner for that matter knows a thing or
two about big plays. On Friday, its something the El
Camino coach knows his team will have to limit.
Thats a scary team over there, Turner said. They have
speed over there. And speed is one of the things weve strug-
gled with over the years. Weve had issues with that. And
Mills has three guys that are scary, scary speed-wise. They
can y. But I feel pretty condent with what weve done
these last couple of weeks and how weve been working. I
feel pretty good.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Woodside girls volleyball scored a criti-
cal comeback win over Burlingame 25-
22, 12-25, 17-25, 25-15, 15-13.
With the match hanging in the balance of
a 13-13 tie in Game 5, Woodside benetted
from back-to-back unforced hitting errors
by Burlingame to win it.
The key victory keeps Woodside in the
thick of the Bay Division race, as the
Wildcats maintain a second-place tie with
Carlmont. Woodside is headed for a show-
down at rst-place Menlo-Atherton next
Tuesday.
If we can carry this energy into M-A, and
beat M-A, itll be a three-way tie for rst
place, Woodside head coach Kyle Mashima
said. So, it will make everything pretty
crazy if we do that.
But Woodsides energy seemed to be lack-
ing early Thursday. The Wildcats fell behind
in Game 1 until Ana Oropeza went on a big
service run. The senior had four of her ve
match aces to lead Woodside (5-1 PAL Bay,
12-7 overall) to a win in the opening set.
Burlingame (3-3, 11-7) then bounced back
to take a 2-1 match lead, however.
The second and third sets, it was like we
had no energy, Mashima said. We were
really at. After the third set I thought we
were done.
Woodsides heavy hitters nished strong.
Wildcats senior Christine Alftin notched a
match-high 31 kills, and sophomore Jesse
Larkin added 10 kills. Burlingame outside
hitter Morgan McKeever tabbed a team-high
17 kills, while Tatum Novitsky had 14
kills, and Bianca Alvarez had 12 kills.
At this point, I feel kind of sorry for
Burlingame because they are just as good as
everyone else, and theyre getting the short
end of the stick, Mashima said.
Other Bay results
Carlmont (5-1, 12-7) downed San Mateo
(1-5, 4-12) 25-14, 25-19, 25-18. Scots
senior Ella McDonough had a team-high 12
kills, while sophomore Alexis Morrow had
a career-high nine kills and three blocks.
Menlo-Atherton (6-0, 12-3) swept
Aragon (1-5, 10-7) 25-21, 26-24, 25-19.
M-Ajunior Devin Joos paced the squad with
17 kills and 16 digs. Leanna Collins had
seven kills, and Katie Wilcox had three
blocks. Aragon libero Maddy Lee had eight
digs.
Bears senior hitter Pauli King did not play
after an high-intensity game Tuesday in M-
As critical win over Carlmont.
We gured we could rest her, Menlo-
Atherton head coach Ron Whitmill said.
She took almost 60 swings Tuesday and
we figured [yesterday] wasnt a massive
game we needed her for. So, we gured wed
give her the night off.
Ocean Division results
Sequoia (6-0, 14-4) downed Mills (3-3, 7-
10) 25-13, 25-19, 25-22. Cherokees
sophomore hitter Rachel Fink tabbed 10
kills and 30 digs, while junior libero
Camille Louie notched her season-high 31
digs.
With the Cherokees sitting atop the
Ocean Division, they have a chance to dis-
tance themselves from the pack next week
with an Oct. 17 matchup with second-place
Terra Nova.
I think this league is going to come
down to us and them, Sequoia head coach
Dustyn Woropay said.
Sequoia isnt taking anything for granted
though, and will enter next week coming off
a major tune-up in non-league tourney play
at Saturdays Mountain View-Los Altos
Tournament. The Cherokees will open the
tourney against Bay Division powerhouse
Carlmont.
Well have a test this weekend to see
where we stand so far as success, Woropay
said.
Terra Nova (5-1, 12-2) swept El Camino
(1-5) 25-16, 25-15, 25-19. Tigers middle
hitter Ali Vidali tabbed a match-high 18
kills, and Krissa San Juan had four aces.
[Vidali] has been monumental during the
rst half of the season, Terra Nova head
coach Craig Dillie said. With assistance
from a very, very young core, things are
looking bright.
The Tigers resume play next Tuesday
against Half Moon Bay, but will still be hit-
ting the court to practice on Saturday to pre-
pare for the biggest week of their season to
date.
Well prepare over the weekend and focus
on Half Moon Bay, and work on a couple of
new things, Dillie said.
Westmoor (4-2, 11-3) defeated Half Moon
Bay 25-23, 25-13, 25-18. Marinel
Alcantara and Christy Tam paced the Rams
with seven kills apiece. Marlene Alcantara
tabbed 26 digs. Half Moon Bays Amy
Francis had a match-high eight kills, and
Hailey Merkes totaled six kills.
Capuchino (2-4, 5-8) bounced back
against Jefferson in four sets 22-25, 25-
11, 25-15, 25-17.

As starting pitcher Sonny Gray allowed all
three Detroit runs in Thursdays Game 5 loss.
nights before when he matched zeros with the
2011 ALMVP and Cy Young Award winner.
This time, Verlander didnt allow a baserun-
ner until Josh Reddick drew a one-out walk in
the sixth but the no-hit bid remained until
Cespedes single the next inning. The hardest
hit ball was a y to the center-eld warning
track by Stephen Vogt in the sixth.
Verlander struck out 10 in eight innings,
giving him 21 Ks in these two starts. He has
43 strikeouts in his four playoff outings
against Oakland the past two years.
The As saw their season end at the hands of
Detroit for the third time in as many postsea-
sons, including in a four-game sweep in the
2006 ALCS.
Oakland has lost its last six winner-take-all
Game 5s and fell to 1-12 in potential clinchers
since 2000. The As struck out 57 times for the
most in a best-of-ve playoff series.
Verlander earned the nod for the decider after
Game 1 winner Max Scherzer pitched in relief
of an 8-6, season-saving win Game 4 in
Detroit. Manager Jim Leyland had no qualms
turning again to Verlander, who went 13-12
this season.
When asked before the game about his
bullpen availability, Leyland nodded his head
and quipped, Verlander, hes available.
Gray, meanwhile, looked overmatched this
time. He wiped his brow and never looked
comfortable.
As manager Bob Melvin went with Gray
over 18-game winner and 40-year-old Bartolo
Colon, who yielded three rst-inning runs to
lose Game 1.
These Game 5s becoming awfully familiar
for both sides in their recent October rivalry.
Detroit held another clinching party in the
visiting clubhouse of the Oakland Coliseum,
where a raucous crowd of 46,959 swirled yel-
low towels until Benoit threw his hands in the
air at the nal out.
Catcher Alex Avila met Benoit in front of
the mound for a long embrace as their team-
mates quickly joined them with cheers of
Lets go Oakland! still ringing out.
The Tigers came together near the mound for
a unique chant in which they squatted in uni-
son and raised their hands in the air.
The 93-win Tigers are determined to take the
next step and win a championship after being
swept in four games of the 2012 World Series
by the San Francisco Giants.
The 23-year-old Gray, pitching to chants of
Sonny! Sonny! in his 12th career start,
returned for the sixth inning at 92 pitches but
was done once he allowed consecutive singles
to Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta. Omar
Infante then drove in the third run with a eld-
ers choice grounder off Dan Otero.
Along the 880 freeway just outside the
Coliseum, a billboard blared: ITS ALWAYS
SONNY IN THE TOWN. The only thing
sunny was the outeld for the early evening
start, which had players shielding their eyes
to deal with tricky shadows and sun angles.
Center eld and right eld initially played in
bright sun.
Rookie starters have lost their last six win-
ner-take-all postseason games since Daisuke
Matsuzaka beat Cleveland in the 2007 ALCS
for Boston.
ALDS
ALAMEDA Oaklands Kevin Burnett isnt sure yet what
exactly the Raiders will try to do to slow down the unbeaten
Kansas City Chiefs this week.
It might not matter what the plan is the way the Chiefs
have played while winning their rst ve games.
Thats why even as he buried himself in the lm room try-
ing to nd an edge, Burnett realized the Raiders will likely
have to go off script if theyre going to give Kansas City its
rst loss of the season.
Nobodys (stopped the Chiefs) so far, Burnett said
Thursday. Were going into uncharted waters. You want to
go execute your game plan, but everybodys game plan
works on the practice eld. Its not until Sunday when you
see whether it works or not.
Part of Oaklands offseason defensive makeover, Burnett
is sometimes at his best when freelancing on the eld.
The ninth-year outside linebacker had 14 tackles in last
weeks win over San Diego, including a stuff of Chargers run-
ning back Danny Woodhead on a fourth-and-goal play from
the 1. He also forced a fumble that safety Charles Woodson
returned for a touchdown.
Those types of plays have become typical of Burnett this
season, his rst in Oakland after spending the past two sea-
sons in Miami.
He had 10 tackles and forced a fumble that led to a touch-
down in the Raiders 37-21 loss to the Denver Broncos on
Sept. 23.
A week later, when Oaklands defense gave up a 33-yard
completion from Washingtons Robert Grifn III to tight
end Logan Paulsen, Burnett chased Paulsen down from
behind and knocked the ball loose for another turnover.
He plays the game fast and hes instinctive, Raiders
coach Dennis Allen said. When you play this game fast and
you play this game instinctively, youre going to make a lot
of plays. Were going to continue to put him in a position
where he can do that for us.

ST. LOUIS Carpets were still
drying out from a champagne bath
and a few players looked bleary eyed
after a workout at Busch Stadium. A
day after advancing, there wasnt
much time to rest for the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Obviously, it was a great celebra-
tion and a lot of fun, reliever John
Axford said Thursday. The club-
house guys, I dont know if they
even went home.
The Los Angeles Dodgers dont
have home-eld advantage in the NL
championship series, but they got a
few extra days to savor early postsea-
son success. Zack Greinke was get-
ting ready to go in Game 5, then
went on stand-by, and now he guards
against feeling too good in the open-
er Friday night.
Once we won it, it was just kind of
make the best adjustments possi-
ble, Greinke said. I mean, theres
not much you can really do.
No telling which side will benet ,
the team on a roll or the team coming
off a break. Joe Kelly, who ourished
as a replacement starter with St.
Louis and gets the call for Game 1,
was elevated to the fth starting spot
and then waited almost two weeks
before actually getting on the
mound.
You could be laid off for eight
days and come out and play absolute-
ly the best baseball youve ever
done, Kelly said. You could come
out and play the next day and not
have a good game. This is all about
execution.
As a youth, Kelly was a budding
skateboard star with a sponsor. Like
other Cardinals youngsters, hes
seemed oblivious to the pressure.
Its Game 1 of the NLCS, but me
being me, Im going to go out there
and just pitch like its another
game, he said.
The staff aces wont go until later
in the best-of-seven series, with the
Dodgers Clayton Kershaw set for
Game 2 and the Cardinals Adam
Wainwright ready for Game 3.
Rookie Michael Wacha, who has
irted with a no-hitter his last two
starts, goes in Game 2 for St. Louis.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly
said hed probably announce the rest
of the starting assignments on game
day.
The series matches a largely home-
grown team seeking its second World
Series appearance in three years
against one thats been among the
biggest spenders trying to get there
for the rst time in a quarter-century.
The Dodgers spent well over $200
million to put together their team.

Local sports roundup
By Andrew Barker
LOS ANGELES Robert
Rodriguezs Machete Kills is a
sequel based on an end-credits joke
from a lm that was itself based on
a joke trailer contained within a
half-joke grindhouse homage.
Exactly how many degrees such an
endeavor is removed from anything
resembling serious cinema would
require Jean Baudrillard to calcu-
late, yet for more immediate lm-
going purposes, all there is to see
here is a surprisingly long-lived
gag nally running out of gas. As
violent as its predecessor yet
noticeably duller and less outra-
geous, Machete Kills is dragged
to the nish line entirely by its
directors madcap energy and an
absurd cast of major stars in strange
cameos.
Since emerging as a DIY hero in
the 1990s, Rodriguez has always
been an inherently likable gure on
the indie scene. At his best, he can
tap into the most delightfully stupid
adolescent fantasies and infuse
them with a sort of earnestness that
almost verges on sweetness for
example, casting Rose McGowan
as a stripper with an M4 carbine for
a leg in Planet Terror. At his
worst, however, Rodriguezs fan-
tasies seem taken straight from the
kind of adolescent who spends an
inordinate amount of time with the
school psychologist for exam-
ple, casting Sofia Vergara as a
bloodthirsty madam who once ate
her fathers genitals and strides into
battle with a machine-gun bra and
strap-on dildo shotgun that res
when she thrusts her hips. Here
serving as a characteristic one-man

WEEKEND JOURNAL 19

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
William Shakespeares The Winters
Tale is a story of miraculous reunion and
redemption after a long period of atone-
ment.
People who arent familiar with the play
would scarcely discern that theme in
California Shakespeare Theaters produc-
tion, called A Winters Tale. Director
Patricia McGregor conceives the play as
presented by a traveling troupe with a small
group of players.
Therefore, everyone plays multiple roles.
Thats not unusual in contemporary
Shakespearean productions, but it presents
a serious problem here.
L. Peter Callender is rst seen as Leontes,
king of Sicily. He later is seen as a
Bohemian shepherd who, in the plays cli-
max, travels to Sicily to reveal crucial infor-
mation.
However, since he cant be two characters
at once, this production cuts this scene,
instead glossing over it with a hasty,
almost incomprehensible narrative. Hence,
the power and emotion of the nal scenes
are diluted.
In another misstep, an audience member is
asked to play Time, who opens the second
act and explains what has happened during
the 16 years between the opening scenes in
Sicily and the following scenes in
Bohemia. This narrative would be better
delivered by an actor.
The director also has Autolycus, the rogu-
ish cutpurse played by Christopher Michael
Rivera, grabbing too often at his crotch a la
Michael Jackson.
The story focuses on Leontes and his
pregnant wife, Hermione (Omoz
Idehenre), who have been hosting the
kings longtime friend, Polixenes (Aldo
Billingslea), king of Bohemia. Eager to
return home, Polixenes spurns Leontes
invitation to stay longer, but acquiesces
when Hermione asks him.
Their conversation ignites an insane jeal-
ousy in Leontes, who accuses his wife of
adultery, has her arrested and rejects their
young son. After she gives birth to a daugh-
ter, he orders a courtier to abandon the baby
in some forlorn place. When he is told that
both his wife and son have died, he suddenly
relents and begins a long period of regret
and mourning.
In the meantime, the shepherd nds the
baby and raises her as his daughter, Perdita
(Tristan Cunningham). When she turns 16,
shes being wooed by Florizel (Tyee
Tilghman), son of Polixenes.
When Polixenes learns of their courtship,
he cruelly orders his son to give her up or be
disowned. As was the case with Leontes 16
years earlier, Polixenes reaction is too
extreme.
However, thanks to the shepherd, who
knows that Perdita is a princess, she has a
joyful meeting with her father, and Florizel
is reconciled with his father.
Then the real miracle occurs. Paulina
(Margo Hall), a lady in waiting, brings out a
lifelike statue of Hermione, who comes to
life before everyone. This production omits
some lines that reveal what happened to her
during the 16 years.
Although most of the principals do well,
Callender is outstanding as his Leontes
descends into irrational jealousy. On the
other hand, Idehenre sometimes speaks so
fast that her Hermione is difcult to under-
stand. Similar problems occur sporadically
with other characters.
Cal Shakes has been trying to reach out to
more diverse audiences, as evidenced by this
production, but in this case with this direc-
tor, the Bard is not well served.
This production will continue through
Oct. 20 at the Bruns Memorial
Amphitheater, 100 California Shakespeare
Theater Way (off Highway 24), Orinda. For

crew, Rodriguez leans heavily toward the
latter mode.
Reprising his unexpectedly career-den-
ing role as the monosyllabic, mononymic
Machete, Danny Trejo once again proves to
be a master of granite-faced deadpan.
Machetes character motivations have hard-
ly developed beyond getting the girl and
killing the bad guys, yet he suffers a tragedy
in the lms opening reel and is offered
something of a chance at redemption, as
well as American citizenship, from the pres-
ident of the United States (Charlie Sheen,
here credited under his birth name, Carlos
Estevez) in exchange for his services.
Crazed Mexican revolutionary Marcos
Mendoza (Demian Bichir) plans to re a
nuclear missile at Washington, and Machete
is tasked with stopping him, placed under
the care of a handler (Amber Heard) hiding
in plain sight as Miss San Antonio.
You know Mexico. Hell, you are
Mexico, the president tells Machete, a line
that would surely spark a cross-border war
were it spoken by a real-life U.S. leader.
Machete proceeds to effortlessly inltrate
Mendozas Acapulco compound, where he
discovers that not only does the onetime
drug lord suffer from multiple personalities,
he also has the missile launch device
implanted in his heart. Thus Machete must
ght his way back across the border with
Mendoza as his captive to nd the bombs
American creator, the Bond-villainous
weapons dealer Luther Voz (Mel Gibson).
While the rst Machete was a far more
complete lm than this, it ran into trouble
whenever it became convinced it had actual
satirical points about race and immigration
to make; marrying slapstick cartoon ultra-
violence with, say, the genuinely upsetting
sight of a pregnant migrant being gunned
down requires a complexity of wit that
Rodriguez has never remotely exhibited.
Machete Kills aims for nothing more
complex than sheer sanguinary lunacy,
though it nonetheless contains far fewer
original ideas: Heads are heedlessly lopped
off, intestines are once again used as rope,
the phrase Machete dont . is repeated
three times, and a sex scene between Trejo
and Heard ends with a meta-gag cribbed
straight from Quentin Tarantinos half of
Grindhouse.
The lm draws most of its charm from the
obvious fun its supporting cast appears to
have had on set, and Rodriguez has little
trouble holding audience interest when he
can simply introduce a new outrageous char-
acter every ve minutes or so. Michelle
Rodriguez and Jessica Alba reprise their
roles from the original; Walt Goggins, Cuba
Gooding Jr., Antonio Banderas and Lady
Gaga all make good with their respective
turns as assassins; and Spy Kids alumna
Alexa Vega nally completes her maturation
from child star to ludicrously pneumatic
sexpot.
Yet the spotlight remains trained on the
lms pair of troubled middle-aged thesps,
grasping the career-rehab lifeline that
Rodriguez extended to Lindsay Lohan the
last time out. Sheen gets a chance to yet
again have fun with his sullied reputation
his POTUS pounds tequila in the Oval
Ofce, lights his cigarettes with a butane
torch and receives red-telephone calls in the
midst of a menage a quatre while Gibson
does another round of penance as a wild-
eyed religious fundamentalist.
Machete Kills, an Open Road release, is
rated R by the Motion Picture Association
of America for strong bloody violence
throughout, language and some sexual con-
tent. Running time: 107 minutes.
MACHETE
Local 1555. Weve done everything we
can.
BARTs chief negotiator, Thomas Hock,
said he would not be the one to walk out of
the late-night negotiations with the ATU
and the Service Employees International
Union Local 1021.
If we keep meeting, somethings going
to happen, Hock said.
An estimated 400,000 rail commuters
would be stranded by a work stoppage on
BART, which links far-ung suburbs to big-
ger Bay Area cities and provides a crucial
link under the Bay between San Francisco
and Oakland.
In July, BART workers struck for 4 1/2
days, leading to jammed bridges and road-
ways, and crowded buses throughout the Bay
Area before Gov. Jerry Brown mandated the
cooling-off period.
Earlier in the week, union leaders thought
they had a deal with BART management but
said the proposal presented late Tuesday was
rescinded.
We thought we were really close and they
totally yanked it off the table, ATU
President Antonette Bryant said. We gave
them a counteroffer, and the next day they
said, Oh, you misunderstood what we pro-
posed. We said, No we didnt.
Hock said BARTnever made a formal offer
and blamed a mediator for the confusion.
The mediator misunderstood and mis-
communicated what had been talked about
because we had never put that offer out there
in any way, shape or form, Hock said.
The two sides have reached agreement on
pension contributions but are still at odds
over compensation, health care and safety.
The unions want a raise of nearly 12 per-
cent over three years while BART has pro-
posed a 10 percent increase over four years.
BARTsaid workers from the two unions now
average about $71,000 in base salary and
$11,000 in overtime annually. The workers
pay a at $92 monthly fee for health insur-
ance.
State transportation ofcials released a
statement late Thursday saying theyll
expand the hours of high-occupancy vehi-
cle lanes and make similar moves Monday
should a strike come, and BART manage-
ment said they would offer limited free char-
ter bus service across the Bay Bridge.

STOCKHOLM If there were a literary
award bigger than the Nobel Prize, Alice
Munro would probably win that, too.
Among writers, her name is spoken in
hushed tones, fellow Canadian author
Margaret Atwood once wrote. Shes the kind
of writer about whom it is often said no
matter how well known she becomes that
she ought to be better known.
Munro, 82, was awarded literatures high-
est honor Thursday, saluted by the Nobel
committee as a thorough but forgiving
chronicler of the human spirit, and her selec-
tion marks a number of breakthroughs.
She is the rst winner of the $1.2 million
prize to be fully identied with Canada. Saul
Bellow won in 1976, but though he was born
in Canada, he moved to the U.S. as a boy and
is more closely associated with Chicago.
Munro is also the rare author to win for
short stories.
When I began writing
there was a very small
community of Canadian
writers and little atten-
tion was paid by the
world. Now Canadian
writers are read, admired
and respected around the
globe, Munro said in a
statement issued by her
publisher, Alfred A.
Knopf. She said she
hopes the Nobel fosters further interest in
all Canadian writers and brings further
recognition to the short story form.
Her books having sold more than 1 mil-
lion copies in the U.S. alone, she has long
been an international ambassador for the
short story, proof that the narrative arc and
depth of characterization expected from a
novel can be realized in just 30 to 40 pages.
Critics and peers have praised her in every
way a writer can be praised: the precision of
her language; the perfection of detail; the
surprise and logic of her storytelling; the
graceful, seamless shifts of moods; the inti-
macy with every shade of human behavior.
Her stories are usually set in Ontario, her
home province. Among her best-known is
The Bear Came Over the Mountain, about a
woman who begins losing her memory and
agrees with her husband that she should be
put in a nursing home. Canadian actress-
director Sarah Polley adapted the story into
the 2006 lm Away from Her, starring Julie
Christie.
The narrative begins in a relatively tender,
traditional mood. But we soon learn that the
husband has been unfaithful in the past and
didnt always regret it What he felt was
mainly a gigantic increase in well-being.
The wife, meanwhile, has fallen for a man at
the nursing home.
In the story Dimensions, Munro intro-
duces a chambermaid named Doree, who
needs to take three buses for a visit to a
facility outside Clinton, Ontario. Munro
explains that Doree is happy in her work,
that she has been told she is young and
decent looking and that her picture was
once in the newspaper, in the days when her
spiked blonde hair was wavy and brown.
Dimensions begins in close-up, then
steadily pulls back. With every page, the
story darkens, and terries. The facility is
an institution where Dorees husband is held.
Dorees picture was in the paper because her
husband murdered their children.
In all the time since what had happened,
any thought of the children had been some-
thing to get rid of, pull out immediately like
a knife in the throat, Munro writes.
Munro won a National Book Critics Circle
prize in 1998 for The Love of a Good
Woman and was a nalist in 2001 for
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship,
Loveship, Marriage. She is also a three-
time winner of the Governor Generals prize,
Canadas highest literary honor.

THE PENINSULA MUSEUM OF ART IN
BURLINGAME HOLDS OPENING RECEPTION
FOR TILT-A-WORLD: SCULPTURE BY SUSAN
ELSE, AND JOE PRICE PART TWO. The Peninsula
Museum of Art invites the public to take part in the open-
ing reception for two new exhibits: Tilt-A-World:
Sculpture by Susan Else and Joe Price Part Two. The recep-
tion begins at 1 p.m. Sun. Oct. 20.
TILT-A-WORLD: SCULPTURE BY SUSAN ELSE.
Susan Else creates structures, then covers them complete-
ly with painted and printed fabric, using collage and quilt-
ing technology. Some like the Ferris Wheel and
Carousel, are even motorized. Else said, I treat cloth
not as a flat surface but as a wild flexible skin for three-
dimensional objects. I like to make work that combines
contradictory ideas and images; life is always a compli-
cated stew of positive, negative, and shades of grey all
at once and I want my works to reflect that complexity
and ambiguity. My work has developed in tandem with the
art quilt movement, but I am one of the few artists explor-
ing the sculptural as opposed to painterly qualities
of the quilt medium. Making sculpture from fabric pres-
ents unique challenges and creative possibilities and
makes me approach sculptural problems with a unique
slant.
JOE PRICE PART TWO. Earlier this year the
Peninsula Museum of Art exhibited Part One: The
Legendary Joe Price, an exhibition of Prices serigraphs,
as part of PMAs inaugural show in its new Burlingame
location. Joe Price Part Two showcases more of Prices
artworks, including one of Prices most famous works,
Secrets, which required 106 screens (think individually
created stencils). Joe Price received his BS degree in
Theater Arts from Northwestern University in Illinois and
eventually moved to San Mateo where, while studying
drawing at the College of San Mateo, he became fascinat-
ed with serigraphy. Price then attended Stanford
University and graduated in 1970 with an MA in Graphic
Design, the first such degree awarded by Stanford. That
same year he joined the faculty of the College of San
Mateo, teaching drawing and printmaking, and remained
there as a full professor until his retirement 24 years later.
Prices work has been included, by invitation, as a U.S.
printmaker in more than 15 international biennials, and
his record of more than 40 purchase prizes and awards
include The Louis Lozowick Memorial Award, Lessing J.
Rosenwald Prize, Kempshall Clark Award, and Paul
Lindsay Sample Memorial Award.

THE SAN JOSE MUSEUM OF ART
EXPLORES THE ROLE OF DESIGN IN
EVERYDAY LIFE. The San Jose Museum of
Art explores the unrecognized heroes of
industrial design in Hidden Heroes: The Genius
of Everyday Things, telling the stories
behind 36 common objects that have become
tools of modern life. The featured heroes
include: ring binder, barcode, pencil, bubble
wrap, paper clip, snap fastener, egg box, pre-
serving jar, rubber band, light bulb, adhesive
tape, coat hanger, Velcro, tin can, corkscrew,
tissue, ballpoint pen, Lego, ear plug, Post-it
Note, zip, umbrella, six-pack carrier, safety
match, tea bag, milk carton and clothes peg.
These unsung examples of design brilliance are
extraordinarily functional and essentially unal-
tered after decades of use. The exhibition exam-
ines the inspiration and the inventors behind
these seemingly run-of-the-mill objects, whose
design, engineering and purpose are so well
matched that they have become part of the fab-
ric of our lives.
San Jose Museum of Art Executive
Director Susan Krane said, Visitors
may be surprised to see an ordinary light
bulb, tea bag, or paper clip on display in
a museum. These uncelebrated heroes of
everyday life epitomize the spirit of
innovative problem-solving and the strik-
ing genius of great design. This exhibition
puts a spotlight on the real beauty, elegant
thinking, people and fun tales behind little
things we often take for granted. We are pleased to
bring this project to Silicon Valley audiences, who so
highly value the transformative power of innovation and
the surprising course of individual creativity. Hidden
Heroes is a wonderful look behind-the-scenes at the roots
of design thinking, before the digital age.
The San Jose Museum of Art is located at 110 South
Market St. in downtown San Jose. For more information
call (408) 271-6840 or visit

Assembly speaker
announces 2014 bid for controller
SACRAMENTO Assembly Speaker John Perez has
announced that he is running for state controller next year.
The Los Angeles Democrat, who will
be termed out of ofce in 2014, said in a
statement issued this week that he wants
to help ensure continued improvement
with the states nances.
California has made great strides in its
path to recovery, but our work is far from
complete, he said.
Democrat John Chiang, the current
state controller, is termed out next year.
The ofce is in charge of dispersing state
money and helping administer two of the largest public
pension funds in the country.
Another Democrat, Board of Equalization member Betty
Yee, also has announced her candidacy for controller.
Perez starts the campaign with $1.5 million that he trans-
ferred from previous campaign accounts, said Doug Herman,
his political strategist.
Perez was rst elected to the Assembly in 2008 and has
served as speaker since 2010, when he became the rst
openly gay lawmaker to lead either house of the Legislature.
Jury: Toyota not liable for death of woman
LOS ANGELES A jury found Thursday that Toyota
Motor Corp. is not liable for the death of a California
woman who was killed when her 2006 Camry apparently
accelerated and crashed despite her efforts to stop.
Jurors deliberated for about ve days before reaching their
decision and concluding the vehicles design didnt con-
tribute to the death of 66-year-old Noriko Uno, who died in
August 2009 when she was struck by another motorist,
sending her vehicle into a telephone pole and tree.
Unos family was seeking $20 million in damages, claim-
ing that the crash could have been avoided if Toyota had
installed a brake override system. The jury found the 86-
year-old motorist who ran a stop sign and hit Uno should
pay the family $10 million, plaintiffs attorney Garo
Mardirossian said.
Around the state
By Mark Lewis
STAVANGER, Norway All we
know is this: a record 259 candidates,
including 50 organizations, have been
nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
this year. With no clues from the
judges in Norway, speculation about
the front-runners for Fridays
announcement is primarily based on
the committees previous choices and
current events. Heres a look at some
of those getting the most attention:
MALALA YOUSAFZAI
The Pakistani girl who was shot in
the head by the Taliban last October
for advocating education for girls is
the bookmakers favorite to win the
Nobel Peace Prize this year. Since
recovering from her injuries, she has
toured the world, becoming a global
celebrity. Now 16, she would be the
youngest winner of any Nobel. On
Thursday, she won the Sakharov
Award, the European Parliaments
50,000-euro ($65,000) human rights
award. Concerns that a Nobel Prize
might pile too much pressure on her
young shoulders were somewhat
assuaged by the mature speech she
gave to the U.N. this summer.
DR. DENIS MUKWEGE
The Congolese surgeon, a powerful
advocate for women, has treated thou-
sands of gang-raped women at the
Panzi Hospital he set up in Bukavu in
1999. Last year he lashed out at the
international community for its inac-
tion on his countrys vicious civil
war. The result: He is now hiding in
Europe following an assassination
attempt last October. Giving him the
Nobel could give world attention to
the conict but it might come too
soon after 2011, when two African
women and one Yemeni were honored
with the peace prize for their work for
womens rights.
RUSSIAN ACTIVISTS
With the 2014 Sochi Winter
Olympics around the corner, the Nobel
committee could be tempted to shine
its spotlight on human rights
activists in Russia. Svetlana
Gannushkina and the Memorial rights
group she heads have been seen as top
candidates for several years. Another
potential candidate is Lyudmila
Alexeyeva, an 84-year-old former
Soviet dissident and a prominent crit-
ic of President Vladimir Putins
regime. The committee has broadened
its concept of peace work to include
things like human rights and climate
change, so it could also choose to
honor those ghting the anti-gay leg-
islation recently passed in Russia.
SISTER MAGGIE GOBRAN
The Egyptian computer scientist
chucked in her academic career to
become a Coptic Christian nun and
has been running the Stephens
Children charity since 1989. The
group reaches out across religious
boundaries to help the disenfranchised
in Cairos slums. With the Arab Spring
revolutions and politics in Egypt tak-
ing a more threatening turn, the com-
mittee might seek to reward someone
seen as untainted by sectarianism and
violence. Lawmakers in the U.S. and
Norway have nominated her.
CHELSEA MANNING
Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning, the
American soldier convicted of giving
classied documents to WikiLeaks in
one of the biggest intelligence leaks
in U.S. history, is considered an out-
sider for the award. She is serving 35-
year prison sentence for sending more
than 700,000 documents to the anti-
secrecy website. Awarding her the
prize would not go down well with the
U.S. government, but the fiercely
independent Norwegian Nobel
Committee is not afraid of riling pow-
erful nations. Its 2010 peace prize to
Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo deeply
angered the Chinese government. NSA
leaker Edward Snowden is also getting
attention in online betting, but that is
wasted money. The deadline for nomi-
nations was Feb. 1, months before he
became known.
Malala, Mukegwe, Manning in
Nobel Peace Prize speculation
John Perez
will sign off on the general fund appro-
priation at Monday nights meeting.
Maltbie said the city will seek reim-
bursement from Pacic Gas and Electric
once the safety matters are settled.
Maltbie said the CPUC hasnt given
a denitive timeline for its investiga-
tion but that, after PG&E submits
records as required by next Wednesday,
there will probably be more questions.
Its OK in this situation because the
longer Line 147 remains shut down,
the better. We want everybody to take
all the time necessary to know it is
safe, Maltbie said.
The city-hired expert will also help
the city wade through the records and
process so ofcials dont get weighed
down by all the data and technical jar-
gon, he said.
The city declared a state of emer-
gency Friday night after the city
learned of November 2012 emails by a
PG&E engineer questioning the safety
of 84-year-old gas transmission Line
147 which runs parallel to Brittan
Avenue. The former engineer suggested
the city could be another San Bruno
situation in reference to the Sept. 9,
2010 gas line explosion and re that
killed eight, injured dozens and
destroyed 38 homes. The engineer also
questioned if hydrotesting in 2011
exacerbated cracking.
An amended report on the 3.8-mile
line provided to the CPUC showed it
tested to only 1.5 times the maximum
allowable operating pressure.
Judge George Miram imposed an
emergency injunction putting the line
out of service and the CPUC followed
suit. On Thursday, both PG&E and the
city stipulated to lifting the injunction
because the CPUC is the authoritative
jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, PG&E spokeswoman
Brittany Chord emphasized the line
was and is safe and that the company
continues to talk with the city and the
CPUC.
We are very serious about being
good neighbors and are committed to
rebuilding the trust of our customers,
Chord said. We know we have a long
way to go.
Chord said PG&E hopes to get the
line back in service sooner rather than
later to accommodate the cold winter
months but the priority is rst demon-
strating its safety.
Maltbie said the city also has some
concerns about other lines in the city
like Line 101, which runs along
Highway 101 but we dont have the
smoking gun on that line.

ing all along that they [the district]
need to do an EIR because their trafc
study was completely inadequate, she
said. Hopefully theyll look at the
project and come up with a different
plan.
An EIR is required under the
California Environmental Quality Act
for at least trafc and parking impacts
on this proposed project, the ruling
stated.
Opening arguments in San Mateo
County Superior Court against the dis-
trict over trafc and parking concerns
surrounding the reopening of Hoover
Elementary School were heard July 29.
Growing enrollment in the
Burlingame Elementary School
District resulted in the purchase of the
previously-closed Hoover Elementary
School on Summit Drive in 2010.
Since then, the district has been work-
ing on plans to renovate the building
to meet current standards.
At the July hearing, the alliances
attorney Kevin Haroff said the district
failed to address trafc impacts in its
December 2012 mitigated negative
declaration study and review. He also
said the district committed a CEQA
violation by dismissing community
concerns about trafc. Haroff cited an
October 2012 letter from the town of
Hillsborough stating their concerns
about the rebuilding being ignored.
The current plan calls for two 8-foot-
wide curbside bays to be created for
pickup and dropoff along the west side
of Summit Drive adjacent to the school
providing enough curb space for 15
cars. In addition, the existing school
site curb would be shifted west to pro-
vide for the bays and two 10-foot-wide
vehicle travel lanes, which will
increase the width of Summit Drive to
17 feet in some areas.
Some residents who live near the
school felt the plan should be post-
poned to allow for more discussion and
possible changes to the trafc plan,
which led to the lawsuit filed in
January. The court denied the claim
that there was a violation of CEQAfor
not adequately responding to these
concerns.
Hoover was founded in 1931, closed
in 1979 and repurchased by the district
for $4.8 million in 2010. MacIsaac
estimated the costs for renovations
and new equipment will be about $13
million. Measure D, a $56 million
bond measure passed by voters in
November 2012 will cover most of the
costs.
The court will be issuing a subse-
quent proposed statement of decision.

HOOVER
TEST
Hero City, or the Collective
Entrepreneurs Club as it was first
called, officially opened last night
with a street closure, live bands, free
food, superheroes wandering about and
Tim Draper, the venture capitalist
known as the Riskmaster.
Hero City will give entrepreneurs
access to exclusive events, speakers,
professional expertise and an incuba-
tor, plus fresh superhero talent from
Draper University, which has only
been open a little more than a year but
has had its students ideas already get
plenty of venture capital support.
Hero City will allow members to
test, launch and sell their ideas to the
world using its secret prototyping lab,
pop-up retail space, media studio and
amphitheater.
Draper was also one of the rst to be
honored by the San Mateo Area
Chamber of Commerce last night for
his contributions to the city. The
chambers Economic Development
Growth Enterprise, or EDGE, presented
Draper, YouTubes Chad Hurley and
Steve Chen, AdMobs Omar Hamoui
and Comcasts Marc Colombo with
plaques that resembled superhero
shields.
Draper, too, wore a superhero cos-
tume underneath his suit before accept-
ing the award and before three others in
superhero costumes rappelled down the
old Benjamin Franklin Hotel, the
home of Draper University.
Hero City will be a exible co-work-
ing space that offers collaborative
peer-to-peer workspaces for entrepre-
neurs on daily, weekly, monthly and
annual membership terms.
Hero City will also feature retail
pop-up stores that can be rented on a
short-term basis and a large multi-pur-
pose event space that can be rented out
on evenings and weekends for events
such as art shows, jazz concerts, cor-
porate events and meetings when not
in use by staff or students.

CAIRO Washingtons decision to with-
hold millions of dollars in mostly military
aid to Egypt is fueling anti-U.S. sentiment
and the perception that Washington supports
Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist president the
military ousted in a July coup.
That could boost the popularity of the mil-
itary chief, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi,
whom the U.S. is trying to pressure to
ensure a transition to democracy and ease
the erce crackdown on Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood.
The aid freeze could also embolden Morsis
supporters to intensify their campaign of
street protests in the belief that the military-
backed government is losing the goodwill of
its top foreign backer. The protests, met by a
erce response by security forces that has
left hundreds dead, have kept the new gov-
ernment from tackling Egypts pressing
problems after 2 1/2 years of turmoil.
Still, Egypts military-backed government
is unlikely to abandon the road map it
announced when Morsi was removed in a
July 3 coup to amend the nations
Islamist-tilted constitution and put the
changes to a nationwide vote before the end
of the year, and hold parliamentary and pres-
idential ballots in early 2014.
Egypt is not so desperate that it needs to
compromise on its political agenda, the
U.S.-based global intelligence rm, Stratfor,
wrote this week.
The United States will be the one to even-
tually readjust to the old reality of backing
unpopular regimes that can preserve U.S.
inuence in the Nile River Valley.
Warnings that Washington might cut off
aid were met with a deant response in the
Egyptian media.
Let American aid go to hell, screamed the
banner headline of Thursdays edition of Al-
Tahrir, an independent daily that is a sworn
critic of the Brotherhood and the United
States.
Egyptian newspapers and television have
for weeks taken a deeply hostile line toward
the United States, portraying Washington as
unhappy to see Morsi and his Muslim
Brotherhood lose power and lambasting it
for allegedly meddling in Cairos affairs.
The U.S. announced it was freezing hun-
dreds of millions of dollars in aid, most of it
meant for the armed forces, as a show of dis-
pleasure over Morsis ouster and the subse-
quent crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood
and other Islamist allies. Washington said
the aid would be restored if credible
progress was made toward setting up an
inclusive, democratically elected govern-
ment.
In its announcement Wednesday, the U.S.
State Department did not provide a dollar
amount of what was being withheld, most of
it linked to military aid, but ofcials in
Washington said it included 10 Apache heli-
copters at a cost of more than $500 million,
M1A1 tank kits and Harpoon anti-ship mis-
siles.

Google: EU privacy
spat will play itself out
ATHENS, Greece Eric Schmidt,
Googles executive chairman, said Thursday
that he respects but disagrees with com-
plaints about his companys privacy poli-
cies made by data protection authorities in
six European countries.
Schmidt said the Internet search and ad
giant has very broadly communicated its
policies to authorities in the countries
where the complaints have been made.
Data watchdogs in France, Britain,
Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands
have said Google needs to provide addition-
al guarantees to comply with national pri-
vacy protection rules in each of those coun-
tries.
Schmidt made his comments in Athens
while attending a technology event there,
and after meeting with Greek Prime Minister
Antonis Samaras.
I have reviewed this. I just dont agree
with the (data protection authorities) that
are making this complaint ... With respect I
just disagree and we just disagree, and well
let it play itself out, Schmidt said.
It seems to me that we have said very
clearly what we do with the information,
and ... that we have to be respectful of peo-
ples privacy. And if we were to be disre-
spectful of your privacy, youd go some-
where else or you wouldnt use us.
Libyan prime minister
briey abducted by militias
TRIPOLI, Libya The abduction was
brief but still audacious: Gunmen from
one of Libyas many militias stormed a
hotel where the prime minister has a resi-
dence and held him for several hours
Thursday apparently in retaliation for
his governments alleged collusion with
the U.S. in a raid last weekend that cap-
tured an al-Qaida suspect.
The brazen seizure of Prime Minister Ali
Zidan heightened the alarm over the power
of unruly militias that virtually hold the
weak central government hostage. Many of
the militias include Islamic militants and
have ideologies similar to al-Qaidas. The
armed bands regularly use violence to intim-
idate ofcials to sway policies, gunning
down security ofcials and kidnapping their
relatives.
At the same time, the state relies on mili-
tias to act as security forces, since the
police and military remain in disarray after
dictator Moammar Gadha was overthrown
and killed in 2011.
