SAN FRANCISCO A judge
tentatively agreed Friday to have
customers pay a little more than half
the estimated $2.2 billion cost to
improve Pacific Gas & Electric
Co.s gas lines, rejecting the utilitys
request to have ratepayers shoulder
84 percent of safety upgrades
required after the deadly San Bruno
explosion.
The money is aimed at improv-
ing record-keeping and safety
testing of PG&Es gas transmis-
sion lines after the Sept. 9, 2010,
blast that killed eight people and
destroyed 38 homes.
The explosion prompted a series
of investigations and new require-
ments for state utilities. Among
them, the commission required state
utilities last year to forecast how
they would pressure-test or replace
the untested segments of their gas
transmission lines.
On Friday, Administrative Law
Judge Maribeth Bushey of the
California Public Utilities
Commission issued a proposed
decision to have ratepayers cover
about 55 percent of the companys

San Carlos ofcials can ask that
developers of the proposed Transit
Village improve the projects poten-

consider the sound a significant
impact because it already exists and
is caused by transportation rather
than the buildings themselves,

With Caltrain electrication com-
ing, Burlingame city ofcials are set
to discuss grade separation options
for the Broadway crossing.
Burlingame leaders have long
spoken out against raising train
tracks through its city. Now that
Caltrain has
funds for a
multi-year mod-
ernization proj-
ect to electrify
the train tracks,
Mayor Jerry
Deal wanted to
take the pulse of
the council
about grade separation specically
at Broadway.
Its poll-taking time, said Deal.
Deal wanted to know if the coun-
cil had a preferred option for staff to
advocate and search for funding
options. Or would the city prefer to
maintain its stance of a trenched
option being the preferred path.
Lowering the tracks below the road
is also one of the most expensive,
which could leave the city with few
options down the road.
Six options are suggested to start
the conversation ranging from keep-
ing the rail at-grade and creating a
street overcrossing for $114 million
to a depressed rail with the street
remaining at-grade for $500 mil-
lion, according to a staff report by
Public Works Director Syed
Murtuza. Those numbers are from a
2009 study by the San Mateo
County Transportation Authority.
Measure A offers $225 million to
grade separation projects through-
out the county over the 25-year pro-
gram, he wrote. Measure A is a half-

A roaring heat of about 2,100
degrees melts glass into a malleable
viscous liquid forming endless pos-
sibilities for a glassblower.
As tens of thousands of people
prepare to make the descent toward
Half Moon Bays annual pumpkin
festival this weekend, one local
artist has worked year round to cre-
ate uniquely beautiful glassworks
sure to wow visitors.
Doug Brown, 57, a talented and
versatile glass artist, provides more
than purchasable artistic objects; he
provides an opportunity to learn
about the skills and thrills behind
the production of glass pumpkins.
Nestled next to La Nebbia
Winery off State Route 92, is
Browns studio Half Moon Bay Art
Glass. This year, visitors can walk
through his rare artistic pumpkin
patch containing 1,000 glass pump-
kins, Brown said.
Unlike other vendors, Brown has
removed his work from a cramped
table stand and instead lets a vast
natural backdrop serve as his booth.
Surrounded by actual pumpkin
patches that line the highway
toward the coast, Browns glass
patch is a sight to see. Similar to
actual pumpkin patches, visitors
can browse Browns glass patch to
nd a singular pumpkin that will
last for years instead of months.
La Nebbia will offer wine tasting,
food and a spiriting atmosphere for
visitors to sit and relax amidst an
interactive art exhibition.

Running off with
the circus wasnt
s o m e t h i n g
Giovanni Zopps
parents ever wor-
ried about.
Why would they?
The circus was a fami-
ly gig.
Zopp was first
introduced to the audi-
ence as a newborn by
his father. From an early
age, Zopp remembers
being around the show.
Often he was wandering
rather than being a scripted
performer. That changed at
about 10 years old. Since
then, hes been in the ring for
every show. Its his life.
People need to know what
[the circus] is really about.
Circus is theater, he said.
The family act travels invit-
ing each location to join the
family fun. From Oct. 12
through Oct. 26, Zopp, An Italian
Family Circus, will return to downtown
Redwood City with both matinee and
evening shows. For Zopp, Redwood City is
a special part of the traveling show. His son
was born in Redwood City three years ago.
Now the little one, like Zopp as a
child, enjoys being part of the show.
Hes teaching me whats pure and
real, Zopp said of his son.
The hope is to continue to provide an
experience that matches what a circus is like
in a childs imagination, he said.
Creating that experience has a long histo-
ry for the family dating back to 1842 when
a young French street performer named
Napoline Zopp fell in love with an eques-
trian ballerina named Ermenegilda. Her
family disapproved of their relationship and
the couple ran away to Venice, Italy where
they founded the circus which still has their
name.
Alberto Zopp,
the couples great-
grandson, took
over the circus 100
years later. The act
toured Europe until
there was a job put-
ting together cir-
cus acts for
Cecil B.
Demilles film
The Greatest
Show on Earth. The job took Zopp and his
family to America. All his children, along
with their spouses, have been active in the
family business at one time or another.
About 10 years ago, Giovanni Zopp,
Alberto Zopps son, revitalized the show in
America.
The real feeling of circus is not just lions
and candy, Zopp said.
Zopp features horses, ballerinas, dog and
jugglers. Its the things of childrens minds,
he said. Through his own child, Zopp has
been able to watch a child create a unique
performance during shows. Working with
family has its perks and drawbacks.
Ultimately, Zopp said, the goal for each
person involved is to make the best show.
We are so happy to come back, Zopp
said of returning to Redwood City. Its my
sons home; his birthplace. [Redwood
City] is always so welcoming and has lov-
ing audiences.
Zopp, An Italian Family Circus runs
Oct. 12 through Oct. 21 with matinee and
evening show times. All shows will be held
in the circus tent, 1044 Middlefield Road,
Redwood City. Tickets range from $10 to
$23. Kids under 2 are free but must sit in a
parents lap. No car seats allowed. For

Missing Redwood City man,
a Union City teacher, found dead
A veteran teacher at a high school in Union City was found
dead in San Mateo County Thursday after being reported miss-
ing earlier this week, according to the New
Haven Unied School District.
Christopher Ryan, 54, an English and
social science teacher at James Logan High
School, was found dead late Thursday after-
noon at the bottom of a ravine off of
Interstate 280 and State Route 92 along the
Crystal Springs Reservoir, school district
ofcials said.
Ryan, a Redwood City resident, had been
reported missing by his family on Tuesday
and his car was found abandoned at a park-
ing area off of the highway on Wednesday
night, according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
The cause of Ryans death is unknown, pending an autopsy.
Grief counselors were being made available Friday for stu-
dents at Logan High School, where Ryan had worked since
1994, including a period as a part-time administrator who was
responsible for the schools master schedule, according to the
school district.
School principal Amy McNamara met with teachers and staff
Friday morning to inform them of Ryans death and discuss the
appropriate ways to tell students, district ofcials said.
Stabbing earns time served
A 39-year-old homeless woman accused of stabbing a fellow
transient in the head with a knife after a drunken argument near the
Half Moon Bay Safeway store was sentenced
to time served and three years probation.
Jennifer Lane, of the Moss Beach area,
pleaded no contest to felony assault Friday
and was immediately sentenced to 130 days
earned while in custody on a $25,000 bond.
She must also pay restitution in an amount to
be determined at a Dec. 6 hearing.
Lane was living in a van with her dog in
the parking lot behind the store on state
Highway 1 and on Aug. 9 allegedly got into
an argument with the victim who she said
was harassing her. Both were intoxicated, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce. Lane allegedly pulled a knife and
chased the man around the van until she caught up and stabbed
him in the head. He required three stitches.
When sheriffs deputies were called, other homeless people
who witnessed the incident identied Lane as the attacker.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Redwood City Costco that rankled
some neighbors several years ago with
plans to add a gas station now wants to
add more pumps and parking spaces that
the warehouse store says will cut lines
and idling times while improving trafc.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission on Tuesday will consider
the required permits for the Costco at
2300 Middleeld Road. If approved,
Costco will expand its fueling area from
12 to 20 pumps on two additional islands
and recongure parking from 745 to 747
spaces by converting some oversized
stalls.
Costco said the last few years have
proven that 12 pumps are just not
enough which creates long wait times
and poor vehicle circulation and leaves
cars waiting in line to fuel up blocking
parking spaces, according to the plan-
ning staff report.
The Planning Commission began
studying the proposed expansion in May
and is now ready to make a decision.
The proposed size is closer to what
the company suggested in spring 2005
when it proposed a 16-pump gas station
as part of the plan to demolish the exist-
ing warehouse to build a larger store,
tire sales/installation center and parking
lot.
In June 2007, after environmental
impact reports on two possibilities iden-
tified significant although mitigated
impacts, the Planning Commission certi-
ed the 16-pump option. However, the
citys zoning administrator approved the
second smaller option with 12 pumps.
The Redwood Village Neighborhood
Association, which appealed the deci-
sion, questioned the citys review
process, the environmental process and
social justice. The group claimed the
EIR underestimated the number of trips
the store would generate, bringing with
it pollution, noise and an increase of cars
cutting through their residential commu-
nity.
However, that August, the City
Council upheld the plan and the
160,000-square-foot store and 12-pump
station opened in 2009. A court also
favored the city when the opponents
challenged the adequacy of the EIR in
court.
The Redwood City Planning
Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.
16 at City Hall, 1017 Middleeld Road,
Redwood City.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Mateo City Council
will decide at its next meeting
whether to approve an amendment
to the contract between the city
and the Board of Administration
for the California Public
Employees Retirement System
to adopt a lower level of benefits
for future hires. Currently, public
safety employees earn retirement
benefits under the 3 percent at age
50 formula and other workers get
a 2 percent at age 55 package in
San Mateo. The change would
mean safety workers would get 3
percent at 55 and other workers
would maintain 2 percent at 55.
Both would have final compensa-
tion calculated on the highest
average earned over 36 consecu-
tive months. Californias Public
Employees Pension Reform Act
will lower the formula even fur-
ther but would not cover those
hired from other public agencies
so, by creating this lower tier, the
city will realize savings when it
makes lateral hires from other
public agen-
cies, accord-
ing to a city
staff report.

U.S.: Hackers in Iran
responsible for cyberattacks
WASHINGTON U.S. authori-
ties believe that Iranian-based
hackers were
responsible for
cyberattacks that
d e v a s t a t e d
Persian Gulf oil
and gas compa-
nies, a former
U.S. government
official said. Just
hours later,
D e f e n s e
Secretary Leon Panetta said the
cyberthreat from Iran has grown,
and he declared that the Pentagon is
prepared to take action if American
is threatened by a computer-based
assault.
The former official, who is famil-
iar with the investigation, said U.S.
authorities believe the cyberattacks
were likely supported by the Tehran
government and came in retaliation
for the latest round of American
sanctions against Iran.
Plan to streamline solar
development in West OKd
SAN FRANCISCO Federal
officials on Friday approved a plan
that sets aside 445 square miles of
public land for the development of
large-scale solar power plants,
cementing a new government
approach to renewable energy
development in the West after years
of delays and false starts.
At a news conference in Las
Vegas, Interior Secretary Ken
Salazar called the new plan a
roadmap ... that will lead to faster,
smarter utility-scale solar develop-
ment on public lands.

RICHMOND, Va. Broadening
his attack on administration foreign
policy, Mitt Romney accused Vice
President Joe Biden on Friday of
doubling down on denial in a dis-
pute over security at a diplomatic post
in Libya that was overrun by terror-
ists who killed the U.S. ambassador
and three other Americans.
The vice president directly contra-
dicted the sworn testimony of State
Department ofcials, the Republican
presidential candidate said, eager to
stoke a controversy that has ared
periodically since the attack on Sept.
11 ... American citizens have a right
to know just whats going on. And
were going to nd out.
President Barack Obama had no
campaign appearances during the
day, leaving it to White House press
secretary Jay Carney to defend
Bidens assertion in a campaign
debate Thursday night that we
werent told of an ofcial request for
more security at the site.
The spokesman rejected Romneys
claim of a contra-
diction. Biden
was speaking
directly for him-
self and for the
president. He
meant the White
House, Carney
said.
With his accu-
sation, Romney
once again
pushed foreign
policy to the
forefront of a
campaign domi-
nated for more
than a year by the
economy, which
has been painful-
ly slow to recov-
er from the worst
recession in more than a half century.
The Republican challenger was
campaigning across a pair of battle-
ground states during the day, rst in
Virginia, which has 13 electoral
votes, and then in Ohio, which has 18
electoral votes and where running
mate Paul Ryan joined him.
Romney criticizes Biden on consulate attack
By Steve Peoples
SIDNEY, Ohio The crowds tell
the story. As Election Day nears,
Mitt Romney is drawing large and
excited throngs.
Look to dusty Iowa cornelds,
rain-soaked Virginia parks, the
muddy elds of the Shelby County
Fairgrounds, where a crowd of 9,500
almost half of this western Ohio
town gathered among the barns
and stables on a frigid October
evening this week to glimpse the
Republican presidential contender.
Where else would we want to
be? said one of the shivering faith-
ful, Judy Cartwright, a 71-year-old
nurse from Sidney. I want to see the
next president of the United States.
Romneys debate performance
against President Barack Obama last
week and his energetic appear-
ances following it up have fueled
a rise in enthusiasm on the campaign
trail. Whether or not it will translate
into votes, polls do suggest that
Republicans are red up. Its a wel-
come development for the
Republican businessman, who is
hardly a natural politician and has
long struggled to match Obamas
ability to inspire excitement.
In Virginia, for example,
Republican leaning counties appear
to be getting the fastest start on
absentee voting ahead of Election
Day. State Board of Elections data
analyzed by the Virginia Public
Access Project, a nonprot and non-
partisan tracker of money in state
politics, shows that of the 25 locali-
ties where absentee voting is busiest,
21 voted Republican in the 2008
presidential race.

cent sales tax that funds transportation proj-
ects in San Mateo County.
Deal acknowledged paying for any pre-
ferred option would be a challenge.
Burlingame has six at-grade railroad cross-
ings Broadway, Oak Grove Avenue, North
Lane, Howard Avenue, Bayswater Avenue and
Peninsula Avenue. Although each is affected
in some way, Public Works Director Syed
Murtuza wrote that Broadway has the worst
problems due to the high volume of trafc in
the area. Trafc problems started in the early
1960s. Several studies of options to alleviate
trafc through grade separation have been
completed since then but none have resulted
in changes, he wrote.
Currently, Broadway is number 11 out of 76
on a grade separation prioritization project list
statewide put together by the California Public
Utilities Commission.
Recently, Caltrain started a multi-year mod-
ernization project to electrify its tracks, allow-
ing it to run more trains when the project is
completed in 2019. The state released $40
million in September in Proposition 1A bond
money to kick-start the project, estimated to
cost about $1.5 billion when complete. The
investment is part of the California High-
Speed Rail Authoritys early investment
program that will fund improvements for
commuter rail connectivity in Southern
California and the Peninsula through
Proposition 1A bond proceeds.
Currently the project is set to include elec-
trication without changing the grade separa-
tions, Murtuza wrote. Without changes, trafc
could continue to be a problem or worsen if
the Broadway station was to open.
In terms of high-speed rail, the city of
Burlingame has long advocated for an under-
ground tunnel rather than raising the tracks
through town. If that option proves to be cost
prohibitive, residents have often pushed for
the city to take a no-build stand.
The council will also discuss the new envi-
ronmental impact report for electrication and
the revision or withdrawal of the high-speed
rail/Caltrain memorandum of understanding.
In other business, the council will introduce
an ordinance eliminating the limit on the num-
ber of restaurants in the Burlingame Avenue
area. Since 1985, Burlingame has had a
restriction on the number of food establish-
ments around Burlingame Avenue. In recent
years, the council has allowed for additional
restaurants to open when there was demand.
Most recently, a request was made in June.
Now the council is considering doing away
with such limits.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15
at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

$2.2 billion plan.
PG&E had previously acknowledged the
plans total cost could balloon to ultimately
reach an estimated $5 billion, including the
cost of nancing and recuperating investments
over many years.
PG&E Senior Vice President Tom Bottorff
called the proposed ruling wholly inade-
quate in a statement Friday.
In the coming months, the commission will
review public comments on the judges pro-
posal. The full ve-member commission may
vote on the proposal as soon as December.
Tom Long, an attorney with The Utility
Reform Network, a San Francisco-based non-
prot consumer advocacy group, said the plan
did not go far enough to penalize the compa-
ny for its shoddy record-keeping leading up to
the explosion, and would still allow PG&E to
earn a sizeable prot.
Under the judges proposed decision, the
return that PG&E can earn from ratepayers on
its capital investments is capped at 6.05 per-
cent annually for ve years. But after that, the
company can earn an 11.35 percent return for
decades to come.
PG&E is going to get to make a lot of
money off the mess they created, Long said.
Their failure to keep good records means that
all this work needs to be done because they
cant prove that their pipes can withstand the
right pressures. Its not fair to stick ratepayers
with the bill.
Bottorff said the company had hoped the
commission would pay for more of the
upgrades but the company is committed to
getting necessary work done.
When this comes before the entire com-
mission, were hopeful that they will consider
the ramications of this work and its critical
importance to California, he said.
PG&E could face hundreds of millions of
dollars in possible nes in other proceedings
before the commission. On Thursday, two
CPUC judges granted a request to temporari-
ly suspend public hearings to determine the
amount of nes collected from the company,
and instead hold closed-door negotiations to
reach a settlement.
Relatives who lost loved ones in the blast
and San Bruno ofcials had urged the com-
mission to continue open hearings to foster
trust in the process.
The commissions president, Michael
Peevey, said holding private negotiations
could bring about a settlement sooner.

Buffeted by debt crisis,
EU wins Nobel Peace Prize
BRUSSELS The European Commission
president had no reason to expect anything but
another bad day. Then, out of the blue, after
three years of back-biting and seemingly daily
nancial crisis, the European Union won the
Nobel Peace Prize for fostering peace on a
continent long ravaged by war.
It was a badly needed morale boost for a 60-
year-old union in the midst of a midlife crisis.
Even as it announced the award Friday, the
Norwegian prize jury warned that the nan-
cial crisis challenging the 27-nation blocs
unity could lead to a return to extremism and
nationalism. It urged Europeans to remember
the EUs role in building peace and reconcili-
ation among enemies who fought Europes
bloodiest wars, even as they tackle the eco-
nomic crisis that threatens its future.
Turkeys frustration
at Syria led to plane action
ISTANBUL The interception of a Syrian
passenger plane from Russia, allegedly carry-
ing military gear to Damascus, is a sign of
Turkeys mounting frustration at the drawn-
out conict and its inability to hasten regime
change in its neighbor, according to analysts.
Recent cross-border shelling from Syria
that killed ve Turkish civilians near the coun-
tries 910-kilometer (566-mile) common fron-
tier may have forced Turkey to act, but its
options were limited.
Theres nothing magical about the timing.
Its a coincidence resulting from the build-up
of frustration in Ankara, said Fadi Hakura, a
Turkey analyst at the Chatham House think
tank in London. Turkey wants to hasten the
demise of the Assad regime in Damascus, but
really its hands are tied.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Melissa Lukin
W
hen Ross Mirkarimi called
KQEDs Forum the day follow-
ing the Board of Supervisors
hearing, host Michael Krasny asked, You
must be elated with the decision made by the
Board of Supervisors, are you not?
Mirkarimis response marked one of the sad-
dest moments in the eight months since his
domestic violence was rst made public.
That moment, could and should have been
Mirkarimis shining moment. But he squan-
dered it, instead pointing at others and dis-
missing concerns around his reinstatement as
sheriff of San Francisco, a position oversee-
ing those with criminal convictions just like
his own and in charge of batterers interven-
tion programs akin to the one in which he is
participating under court order.
He spoke mostly of his own victimization
(as unreformed batterers typically do) and of
the desire to put this whole thing behind him,
and the city and move on.
It is precisely because domestic violence
advocates believe in the importance of fami-
lies, and peoples ability to redeem them-
selves that they created Batterer Intervention
Programs nearly three decades ago, programs
since institutionalized in our criminal and
civil justice systems.
Mirkarimis response was disheartening.
Heres what the sheriff could have said:
I am sorry for the enormous time and
resources this incident have cost the city and
the people of San Francisco. I apologize for
committing this crime. Even if I mistakenly
perceived it as private
matter, I understand now,
that the harm I caused, in
fact, constitutes domestic
violence and is, therefore,
by necessity of public
concern. I apologize to
my wife for causing her
such pain and public
humiliation and to my
son, who had to witness his father abusing
his mother, regardless of the circumstances
that gave rise to it. And I promise the people
who elected me, who put their faith in me to
oversee the programs responsible for victim
safety and batterer accountability, and the
hard-working people who operate these cru-
cial programs, that I will do everything in my
power to regain and maintain their trust mov-
ing forward.
Why didnt he?
As DV advocates we see, every day, how
hard it is to change behavior without altering
the underlying assumptions that give rise to
it. It is what makes individuals who abuse
their partners focus on them their actions
and their perceived responsibility for the
abuse and makes them so often masterful
at deecting from their own behavior.
As advocates, we try to honor each sur-
vivors unique needs in his/her journey to
survive and heal from abuse and work very
hard to remember that they are the experts of
their own situations. The central issue here is
not this one case, but the contamination of a
legal system.
How could someone convicted of a domes-
tic violence-related crime remain in a power-
ful professional role that oversees the very
systems designed to protect victims of vio-
lence?
Despite Tuesdays decision by the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors, this
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, DV
agencies once again pledge to continue,
undeterred, to serve families, to listen to sur-
vivors, to cherish their trust and maintain
condentiality as they navigate difcult sys-
tems, and to strive to hold our systems and
ofcials accountable.
As for Mirkarimi, there is a long road to
real change. Having failed in his latest public
comments, as District Attorney George
Gascon said, The sheriff has another oppor-
tunity to act with grace and true compassion
by recusing himself from the supervision of
domestic violence activities in his depart-
ment. He can begin to heal the divide in this
city and reassure victims that he can be the
kind of sheriff they deserve. I hope he will
take this opportunity and begin to rebuild
trust with all of us.
Hear, hear. This might be the way we move
on.

Abuse), based in Burlingame.
Lack of leadership
Editor,
Widespread comments in the mainstream
media about the vice presidential debate
being boring appear to miss the point that
it was actually frightening. Frightening in
the sense that media comments have avoid-
ed dealing with the single most important
issue in this presidential race leadership.
In 1987, during Joe Bidens participation
in the 1988 presidential election campaign,
he lied that he had finished in the top half
of his law school class. In fact, he finished
near the bottom. He also explained poorly
at the time that his plagiarism of a law
review article for a paper he wrote was not
malevolent.
You dont lie about simple things like this
if you expect to be believed about more
important things afterwards, nor can you
recover integrity lost over a stupid lie, espe-
cially when the truth would not have hurt.
When Biden ended the debate with trust
me, he made the problem worse.
Bidens very first answer further con-
firmed his unwillingness to face the truth,
another leadership failure. When asked if
the recent Libya debacle signified an intel-
ligence failure, Biden didnt answer the
question. He redefined it by calling it a
tragedy, not the utter failure it was, and
blamed the sources of information the
White House received as the reason that the
Obama administration tried to sucker us
with the knowingly false story that a stupid
movie was the cause of the death of our
people. The real cause was a failure of
leadership.

Gas situation
Editor,
In the Oct. 12 edition of the Daily
Journal, letter writer Harry Roussard ques-
tions why California has and needs a sepa-
rate blend of from other states and suggests
abolishing the EPA and other agencies
unnamed. Im sure a consultation with
Texas Gov. Rick Perry might help with
identifying those other agencies.
That aside, the unique situation of
California having around 31 million regis-
tered vehicles more than most countries,
by the way and the terrible air pollution
conditions in Los Angeles and the Central
Valley, even with our unique blend of less
air-polluting gases, might have something
to do with the query posed.
Now, I might be with Harry if I could say
Im a fairly old guy anyways, and if the
air quality deteriorates with the blend we
have from current Los Angeles conditions
to Mumbai or Bangladesh conditions (the
worlds worst eye-burning air pollution), I
wont be around in a couple decades to
have to clean up the health mess anyways.
Besides, I saved five bucks every time the
Yukon gets filled.
Sadly, Im having some difficulty with
that.

What the sheriff could have said

Two strong picks
for community
colleges and CSU
The Sacramento Bee
L
eaders of Californias community
college and state university systems
have appointed two highly accom-
plished leaders, who face daunting chal-
lenges as they set about reshaping these vital
institutions but seem up to the task.
The California State University board of
trustees recently named Timothy P. White as
the new president of the CSU system, the
nations largest four-year university system.
White is chancellor at UC Riverside,
among the most diverse campuses in the
state. He raised $100 million for a new med-
ical school at Riverside, a skill he will need
as he takes charge of the 23-campus CSU
system. White is a serious academic, but
showed an every-man side by appearing in
disguise last year on Undercover Boss.
Earlier, the Community College Systems
leaders appointed Brice Harris as that sys-
tems chancellor. Harris is outgoing chancel-
lor of the Sacramento regions Los Rios
Community College district. Harris labels the
challenges twin opportunities: Restore access
to the states community colleges, and help
students succeed in greater numbers.
Harris, like White, faces a daunting reality.
Today, only 53.6 percent of degree-seeking
community college students achieve a certi-
cate, degree or transfer within six years. For
African American and Latino students, the
rate is much lower, 42 percent and 43 per-
cent, respectively.
Budget cuts have forced the CSU system
to raise tuition. At the community college
system enrollment has dropped from 2.9 mil-
lion to 2.4 million students. There are fewer
course sections and more than a doubling of
fees.
Harris comes into the chancellorship of a
confederation of 72 community college dis-
tricts at 112 campuses with 72 locally elected
boards with the right attitude, tight focus and
groundwork laid for major change
groundwork that he helped lay as a member
of last years Student Success Task Force.
One major change, as Harris has put it, is
to dial down free non-credit classes like
yoga or music appreciation, and focus on
preparing students for transfers to a universi-
ty or earning an associate degree.
Another is to give students an incentive to
move away from unfocused course-taking
and into specific programs of study that
lead to a college credential or transfer to
four-year institutions by tying financial aid
to academic progress.
More than 1 million of 2.4 million stu-
dents have their fees waived. But unlike
federal Pell Grants and state Cal Grants,
community colleges do not require academ-
ic progress. That will change with Gov.
Jerry Browns signing of SB 1456. Fee
waivers will be cut for students who fall
below certain requirements for two semes-
ters in a row.
Harris minces no words about access:
We cant restore access unless we have
adequate resources. He seeks to end the
roller coaster of fee increases, which makes
it difficult for students and their parents to
plan for college. To that end, he is open to
gradual modest and predictable fee
increases within a long-term fee policy.
In keeping the community college chan-
cellors salary under $200,000 holding to
the previous chancellors salary of $198,500
the community college board of gover-
nors sent a message of public service.
Similarly, the California State University
trustees set Whites salary at that of the out-
going president, $421,500 plus a $30,000
supplement from CSU Foundation sources.
Leaders of the two systems took important
steps into the future by elevating Harris and
White, and sent messages to students and
parents about the importance of scal
restraint and of building from within.

Stocks closed out their worst week
since June after investors looked over
third-quarter corporate earnings reports
and decided there wasnt much to get
excited about.
The big indexes were mixed on Friday.
But they were all down more than 2 per-
cent for the week. That was their worst
weekly showing since the Standard &
Poors 500 index fell 3 percent for the
week ending June 1.
On Friday, the S&P closed down 4.25
points at 1,428.59. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average edged up 2.46 points to close
at 13,328.85, giving up an earlier gain of
75. The Nasdaq composite lost 5.30 points
to close at 3,044.11.
Investors havent had much to like this
week, with mixed results from U.S. com-
panies including Alcoa, Safeway and Yum
Brands. Investors have seemed unsure
how to evaluate the news. This week
stocks have posted some of their biggest
daily losses in the late morning or early
afternoon.
Its been a relative downer week in the
market this week, and people are going
into the weekend not wanting to hang out
there too much, said Bill Stone, chief
investment strategist for PNC Wealth
Management.
Looking beyond this week, stocks have
had a strong run. The S&P 500 is up 11.8
percent since June 1. The run-up suggest-
ed that investors were anticipating a strong

NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase, the
countrys biggest bank, reported a record
quarterly prot Friday, helped by a surge
in mortgage renancing. CEO Jamie
Dimon said he believed the housing
market has turned a corner.
The bank made $5.3 billion from July
through September, up 36 percent from
the same period a year ago. It worked
out to $1.40 per share, blowing away the
$1.21 predicted by analysts polled by
FactSet, a provider of nancial data.
Revenue rose 6 percent to $25.9 bil-
lion, beating expectations of $24.4 bil-
lion. Earnings were also helped because
the bank set aside less money for bad
loans $1.8 billion, down 26 percent
from a year ago.
Revenue from mortgage loans shot up
29 percent. About three-quarters of that
was from people renancing, rather than
buying new homes. Low interest rates
and government help encouraged home-
owners to renance.
A Federal Reserve survey earlier this
week found that a stronger housing mar-
ket helped economic growth in almost
every part of the country. Home sales are
up, prices are rising more consistently in
most places, and builders are more con-
dent.
Dimon noted that the bank was still
seeing a high level of souring mortgage
loans, and said he expects high default-
related expenses for a while longer.
And he noted homeowners are still
struggling under mortgages they cant
afford, saying the bank was working to
modify those loans.

NEW YORK Shares of Workday
rocketed higher Friday in their rst day
of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Trading under the WDAY symbol,
the stock climbed $20.69, or 74 percent,
to close at $48.69. Thats the fifth-
biggest percentage gain on the rst day
of trading for any IPO this year, and the
largest jump since software maker
Splunk Inc.s April debut.
Workday Inc. raised $637 million in
its initial public stock offering, selling
22.8 million shares for $28 each. That
signaled strong demand from investors,
since the company expected that shares
would price from $24 to $26 per share.
Workdays software helps companies
keep track of payroll and other human
resources functions. It competes with
giant corporations in enterprise software
like Oracle Corp. and SAP AG.
Workdays applications are accessible
over the Internet, so companies do not
have to upgrade software residing on
their own computers as improvements
roll out. This kind of software is kept on
computers outside a companys ofces
and accessed online. Called cloud com-
puting, it is becoming more popular
with business customers.

WASHINGTON The United States
has now spent $1 trillion more than its
taken in for four straight years.
The Treasury Department conrmed
Friday what was widely expected: The
decit for the just-ended 2012 budget
year the gap between the govern-
ments tax revenue and its spending
totaled $1.1 trillion. Put simply, thats
how much the government had to bor-
row.
It wasnt quite as ugly as last year.
Tax revenue rose 6.4 percent from
2011 to $2.45 trillion. And spending fell
1.7 percent to $3.5 trillion. As a result,
the decit shrank 16 percent, or $207 bil-
lion.
A stronger economy meant more peo-
ple had jobs and income that generated
tax revenue. Corporations also con-
tributed more to federal revenue than in
2011.
The government spent less on
Medicaid and on defense as U.S. military
involvement in Iraq was winding down.
Barack Obamas presidency has coin-
cided with four straight $1 trillion-plus
annual budget decits the rst in his-
tory and an issue in an election campaign
that ends in 3 1/2 weeks.
When Obama took ofce in January
2009, the Congressional Budget Ofce
forecast that the decit that year would
total $1.2 trillion. It ended up at a record
$1.41 trillion.
The increase was due in large part to
the worst recession since the Great
Depression. Tax revenue plummeted, and
the government spent more on stimulus
programs.

A
fter five weeks of grueling
preparation that left the College
of San Mateo football team with
a 4-1 record, the real fun is about to begin.
And the message to the Bulldogs play-
ers this week was simple: We need to
take care of Game 1.
There is no such thing as schedule-cir-
cling if youre the Bulldogs the reality
is, CSM plays football in the toughest
conference the state has to offer all
ve CSMs opponents are ranked in the
top 15 in Northern California and top 25
in the state. The entire schedule has one
huge red circle around it.
Its going to be an exciting confer-
ence, said Tim Tulloch, CSM assistant
head coach and defensive coordinator.
As usual, its going to be a meat grinder
for the next ve weeks.
Test No. 1 comes in the form of neme-
sis Foothill College. At 3-2, the Owls pos-
sess a record that is misleading their
two losses came against quality oppo-
nents. And when it comes to Bulldogs-
Owls, the emotional factor means you
toss the records and numbers out the win-
dow. In fact, that will be the case for the
next ve weeks.
They have an athletic quarterback that
makes plays, Tulloch said. They have
some weapons. The back is good. He runs
hard. Their receivers do a good job. On
defense, they run the same structure (they
always have). Foothill, their coaching
staff those guys have been in this confer-
ence for many, many years. Theyre going
to be a challenge in certain areas. They
know what theyre doing. All those guys
are going to come in prepared and were
going to be challenged. Theyll be ready
to play.
The Owls come in balanced on offense
at 403 yards per game, Foothill rushes
for an average of 191 and passes for 212.
Their offense has three players with at
least 236 yards on the ground.
Defensively, their 269 yards allowed per
game is second in conference their 16
forced turnovers is tops. These are two
teams that know and respect each other
very well.
I think every week you want to do
things that will give you the best chance
to win, Tulloch said, that were putting
our players in the right place. That does-
nt change. When you have a lot of famil-
iarity I dont know if you do anything
completely new. Theres tweaks and wrin-
kles but, were doing the same things
right now. I think youre always looking
for an edge but youre not going to change
anything wholesale.
Just like the Owls, the Bulldogs are
coming off a loss. CSMs loss to San
Joaquin-Delta was marred by mistakes
that have blemished the Bulldogs play all
season long its just that Delta nally
made CSM pay the ultimate price.
The way theyve gone about practice, I
think theyve responded to the loss very
well, Tulloch said. They understand the
mistakes that we made have to be
addressed. Theyre committed to xing
them. Theyve rallied really well.
I think for us, its addressing our
mistakes, Tulloch said when asked
about the key to a CSM conference
championship. Weve had more
turnovers this year than weve had
in years past. Were going to have
to protect the football. When you
get into one-point games, one-score
games, usually the difference is one
play on special teams or one
turnover. We need to do a better
job of that. Its been a huge
emphasis.
The North Division of the
NorCal Conference is a com-
bined 19-6 and 23-7 if you
count CSM. Tulloch said hes
expecting a handful of his
players to have huge confer-
ence season.
On offense, look out for
Aaron Criswell and Maurice
Williams, the wide receiver
duo, to have explosive second
halves. Put them in tandem
and its tough defensively,
Tulloch said. They can take some
pressure off the run game.
Defensively, CSM is surrendering
420 yards per game. That number
will have to improve against power-
house teams like Butte and City
College of San Francisco.
For that, CSM will look to the
heart of the defense and players
like Langi Haupeakui and Rika
Levi, plus linebackers Sione Sina
and tackling machine Tevita
Lataimua.

Apparently, you can t a whole lot of heart in
one single yard on the football eld.
For the second week in a row, the South San
Francisco Warriors played an inspired football
game, taking the game to the wire and coming
away with a victory. This time, it was a Maligi
Maluias 1-yard quarterback sneak with 18 sec-
onds left on the clock that propelled the Warriors
to a 43-39 win over previously unbeaten Menlo
High School. The score came at the end of an
eight-play, 65-yard drive.
We had it, Malangi said of the winning
score. We practiced for this all season. We
came together as a family and drove the ball. It
took heart and effort from
every one of us and we got
it done.
The credit goes to coach
(Frank) Moro, the South
City staff and players, said
Menlo head coach Mark
Newton. We lost the game,
but they won it as well.
They played a great game. Theyre good block-
ers and theyre good tacklers. They played

Dont look now, but the San Mateo football
team has something brewing.
After starting the season 0-3, the Bearcats
moved to the .500 mark with a 34-21 win over
host Hillsdale Friday night.
I dont think weve done that (win three in
a row) since Ive been here, said San Mateo
coach Jeff Scheller. More importantly, were
2-0 in league.
San Mateo (2-0 PAL Lake, 3-3 overall) can
thank a huge all-around effort from sopho-
more running back Line Latu. The younger
brother of former Bearcats standouts Patrick
and Michael Latu, Line Latu is the opposite of
his older brothers. Patrick and Michael were
big, bruising runners, who had a knack for
bowling over people. Line Latu is much slim-
mer and lithe and is light years faster than
his brothers.
More slippery, too. Line Latu rushed for
235 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries,
caught a screen pass that he turned into a 62-
yard touchdown, and
recovered a fumble and
picked off a pass on
defense.
He comes from a great
family lineage, Hillsdale
coach Mike Parodi said of
Latu. We had him
wrapped up (several
times). But he made a
play.
Latu destroyed Hillsdale (0-2, 0-6) early
with simple runs up the middle that he popped
for long touchdowns. On his sixth carry, he

Every year, Aragon coach Steve Sell
says he wants to throw the ball a little
bit more and yet the Dons almost
always default back to its run-rst, run-
often philosophy.
Thats what [Sell] was telling me in
the preseason, said Aragon wide
receiver Aldo Severson. Every time
he brought it up, I told our other
receivers, Dont believe it. Dont
believe it.
Ill believe it when I see it.
Severson and the Dons are seeing it
and consider Severson a believer.
Severson, along with quarterback Nat
Blood, are quickly becoming one of
the more lethal pass and catch tandems
in the Peninsula Athletic League. A
week after Blood threw for 276 yards
and Severson caught 12 passes for 161
against Menlo-Atherton, the duo was
at it again during a 42-7 win over Half
Moon Bay Friday in San Mateo. Blood
nished the game 11 for 18 for 178
yards and four touchdowns. Severson
was the recipient of ve of the catches,
turning those into 117 yards and three
touchdowns.
Our timing has worked out really
well, Severson said. Were on the
same page. I give it 100 percent on
every route in practice because I know
it will be used in the game.
Sell said hes ghting himself in try-
ing to identify what kind of team he
has.
We have some unique players, Sell
said. [I] ght the internal battle of
sticking to our core offense (the run
game) or shaping the offense around
the athletes we have.
Friday marked one of the rare occa-
sions that saw Aragon pass (178) for
more yards than it got on the ground
(154). The running game, however, did
have its moments. Marcell Jackson n-
ished with 70 yards and a touchdown
on 10 carries, while Jordan Crisologo
had 59 yards and another score on 10
carries as well.
We have to do a better job on the
offensive line, Sell said. We have
great backs.
Despite the lopsided score, it took a
quarter for Aragon (1-1 PAL Bay, 5-1
overall) to nd its rhythm offensively.
The Dons were forced to punt on their
three, rst-quarter possessions as Half
Moon Bay (0-1, 1-5) outgained
Aragon 71-19 in the opening 12 min-
utes.
Even without scoring, Aragon was
slowly grabbing the momentum due to
its punt and punt return game.
Severson, who also handles all the
kicking duties for the Dons, twice
pinned the Cougars inside their 10-
yard line in the rst quarter. And when
Half Moon Bay had to punt, the
Cougars were leery of punting to
Aragon returner J.D. Elzie, who
already has four returns for scores this
year.
No one can tell me they werent
avoiding kicking to J.D., Sell said. I
know a lot of those punts were under
the order of dont kick to him.
As a result, Aragons elds got short-
er and shorter. On the Dons rst pos-
session of the second quarter, they
started from the Half Moon Bay 40-
yard line following a 21-yard Half
Moon Bay punt. It was the Dons
ground attack that got them on the
scoreboard. They drove 40 yards on
ve plays, with Crisologo pounding
the ball in from the 1 to give Aragon a
7-0 lead.
On Half Moon Bays ensuing pos-
session, Aragon defensive end Jeremy
Wint forced a fumble by the Cougars
quarterback and recovered it himself to
give the Dons the ball at the Cougars
26. Three plays later, including a four-
yard loss, Blood hooked up with
Severson on a quick out. Severson then
broke four tackles and bolted into the
end zone for a 30-yard scoring strike,
giving the Dons two touchdowns less
than two minutes apart.

Water was ying from green bot-
tles, coaches were soaking wet and
smiles of the red and gold variety
dotted the Carlmont football eld
for the Mills Vikings, the time had
come to celebrate.
And why not? The last three Mills
football teams won a combined one
Peninsula Athletic League game
and following their 28-13 win over
Carlmont High School Friday night,
the 2012 version of the Vikings has
already matched that feat.
This is denitely a huge win for
us, said Mills quarterback Harshall
Lal. To be 1-0, our goal this season
has always been to win league. Weve
worked hard these last few years,
weve had a lot of disappointments,
but this is our year.
The Vikings did all their scoring in
the rst half and used a gutsy second
half of defense to hold off the Scots.
It feels great, said Mills head
coach Mike Kreiger. The guys
deserve it. Theyve been working
hard. We thought we had a good
game plan on offense. We thought we
had a good scout on them for the
defensive side of the ball and we exe-
cuted in the rst half. And it was
enough. We held on in the second
half. We have to learn to close the
game a little bit better.
Carlmont racked up 117 yards of
offense in the second half to try and
trim a three-touchdown decit. But
after Yancy Portis touchdown with
5:19 left in the third quarter, the Scots
were cursed with stalled drive after
stalled drive even with their
defense coming up huge and shutting
down the Vikings.
The Carlmont defense had a hard
time stopping Lal and the Vikings in
the rst half though.
Lal hooked up with Victor
Beglitsoff on a 36-yard touchdown
pass with 8:28 in left in the rst quar-
ter, four plays into Mills initial drive.
Lal did it to the Scots again six sec-
onds into the second quarter. The
senior QB turned a Carlmont fumble
into a 10-play, 80-yard drive that cul-
minated with another long distance
call cashed in by Joey Himuro and
his 42-yard catch. The turnover was
huge considering the Scots were
knocking on the door for the poten-
tial tie when it was recovered in the
end zone by Mills for a touchback
in a sense, it was huge 14-point
swing.
We just came in and knew we had
to do our thing, Lal said. We had a
bye week so we had some time to
adjust. Carlmont is a great team, they
work hard. But we just came out and
we executed. I was feeling it. My
receivers were making plays, my line
was blocking without them, I
cant do much.
Carlmont trimmed the lead in half
when Derek Gomez and Matt Stalun
made beautiful touchdown music
together on a 34-yard skinny post to
make it 14-7 with 7:44 left in the half.
But Lal looked like an all-league
quarterback in that rst half. He used
six plays and covered 61 yards to
march the Vikings down the eld
once more. This time, Anthony
Vozaites was the beneciary of Lals
magic arm on a 12-yard touchdown
pass.
Mills added another score, taking
full advantage of a Conor Hidalgo
interception and 57 seconds later,
giving the ball to Antonio Jeffrey on
a 4-yard touchdown run to make it
28-7 with 2:26 left in the half.
Mills fumbled to begin the third
quarter and Carlmont looked primed
to make a comeback. The Scots went
no-huddle and popped their way
down eld behind Portis, Diairea
James and Jesse Gifford to make it
28-13.
But the rest of the way, Mills had
just enough defense to hold off the
Scots.
The second half they got back to
basics, Kreiger said of the Carlmont
offense. They played a little smash-
mouth and [we] got a little nervous
there for a while.
Our defense was fantastic, Lal
said. They really stepped it up when
they needed to and the win is a cred-
it to them. To give up only 13 points
to a good team like Carlmont is a
hard thing to do.
First-half offense enough for Mills to earn win

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre
Dame wants to slug it out with
Stanford.
The seventh-ranked Fighting Irish
(5-0) were pushed around by the
Cardinal (4-1) the past two seasons,
and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly
is challenging his players to go toe-
to-toe with No. 17 Stanford on
Saturday.
The theme all week has been,
were going to be in for a physical,
hard-nosed, four quarters, of just
one of those good old-fashioned
backyard brawls. Its going to be
that kind of game, Kelly said. We
got our guys thinking about that on
Monday and kept building through
the week. Thats really been the
theme this week for our football
team.
Asked about Stanford trying to
intimidate opponents, Kelly cut off
the questioner.
They dont try. They do, he
said.
Notre Dame is off to its best start
in a decade, but Stanford has domi-
nated the long-running series of
late. The Cardinal have won three
straight for their rst winning streak
against the Irish, the last two by at
least two touchdowns.
The Irish are winless in ve career
games against ranked Stanford
teams, including the past two sea-
sons. Stanfords 37-14 victory in
2010 is Notre Dames most lopsided
loss under Kelly.
The Cardinal also have a history
of ruining undefeated runs by the
Irish. Stanford beat top-ranked
Notre Dame 36-31 in 1990, and the
18th-ranked Cardinal downed the
No. 6 Irish 33-16 in 1992 for Notre
Dames only loss that season.
Stanford coach David Shaw was a
receiver on that Cardinal team in
1992. He remembers coach Bill
Walsh being serious all week lead-
ing up to that game.
He knew we had a chance to
win. At the same time, we had to
play well and we had to make all the
plays we did to win, he said.
Shaw sees similarities between
the Irish and the Cardinal.
A big physical defense and a run-
ning game they want to stick to no
matter who they play, he said. The
styles may be a little different, but I
also think were pretty similar as far
as our philosophies on playing the
game of football.
Each school also has tough aca-
demic standards that can make it
harder to recruit top athletes. But
its also what attracts some top play-
ers, such as Notre Dame linebacker
Manti Teo, who also considered
going to Stanford.
You want to get the best educa-
tional experience, and what better
place to do that at than Notre Dame
and Stanford? he said.
Teo has had two of his best
games against Stanford. He had 12
tackles in a 28-14 loss last season
and a career-high 21 tackles in the
37-14 loss during his sophomore
season.
I love playing against this type of
team, Teo said. Its just football,
and theyre going to keep running,
running, running until you stop
them.
One of Teos big responsibilities
on Saturday will be stopping
Stanford tailback Stepfan Taylor,
who is 14th in the nation in rushing
at 111 yards a game. Overshadowed
the past three years by Andrew Luck
and Toby Gerhart, Taylor is on pace
for his third straight 1,000-yard sea-
son.
Hes fast, hes strong, hes a
powerful runner, and he keeps his
legs moving, which makes it hard
for opponents to bring him down,
Teo said.
This is Stanfords second road
game of the season, following a 17-
13 loss at Washington on Sept. 27.
The Cardinal are 3-10 at Notre
Dame Stadium.
Thats going to be the big test.
Thats our gauntlet. Can we play our
best game on the road? Shaw said.
For the Irish, the test will be
matching up physically with
Stanford.
They know ultimately that they
cant win this playing a finesse
game, Kelly said. Theyve got to
win it by beating them at what they
do well.
Notre Dame looks to get physical with Stanford

Tough only describes a small piece of the
South City effort.
The Warriors manhandled the Menlo defense
the entire afternoon, to the tune of 521 total
yards 388 of which came the ground.
We worked hard and were not a bad team,
said South City head coach Frank Moro. They
came out and we wanted to hold them under 40
and we did by a point. And they came up and we
wanted to control the ball, we wanted to keep it
out of their hands. The only way we were going
to keep them under 40 is keeping the ball out of
their hands. We thought we were more physical
than them.
South Citys took the upper hand in the second
half after Menlo looked their typical self in the
rst.
Jack Heneghan, the reigning Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week, had a memorable two quar-
ters at quarterback. The junior completed 13 of
21 passes for 228 yards and made the rst touch-
down drive of the afternoon look effortless when
he found Connor Stastny on an 11-yard slant to
make it 7-0.
Menlo made it 14-0 six minutes later with
Heneghan orchestrating another awless drive
and allowing Matt Bradley to sneak the football
into the end zone from a yard away with two
minutes left in the quarter.
But that is when South City began to impose
its will on the ground. Right before the end of
the quarter, Orlando Garcia waltzed in to the end
zone from 16 yards out to make it 14-7.
Menlo responded emphatically on the ensuing
kickoff when Max Parker blazed his way into
Touchdown Land from 84 yards away for his
fourth such score of the year and a 20-7 Menlo
advantage.
There was to be no quit in South City, though.
Anthony Shkuratov scored from three yards out
to make it 20-14. The Knights added one more
score right before the half, but missed their sec-
ond extra point chance and their advantage stood
at 26-14.
Halftime, we were a little bit frustrated, but
we do that every day in practice, said South
Citys Robert Johnson, who saw his rst game
action in a handful of weeks and gave the
Warriors a mental boost. We mess up, Moro
jumps on us and its good. We just keep coming
up. We never give up until its really over.
The lead did little to faze South City. In fact,
after a half where the teams were relatively close
on the stat sheet, the third quarter belonged com-
pletely to the Warriors.
South City outgained Menlo 138 to negative-
3 in the third. They used 12 plays to go 80 yards
and got to within ve with Shkuratovs second
score of the afternoon. Then after a rare Menlo
punt, Shkuratov did it to the Menlo defense
again, scoring from 40 yards out to give South
City the 29-26 lead.
The third quarter went by like that, Moro
said. It was quick. And we kept the ball out of
their hands. We knew when we got the ball here,
we were going to go down and score. It was a
matter of good clock management.
Heneghan showed South City just how impor-
tant keeping the ball out of his hands would be.
He hooked up with Wiley Osborne on the rst
play of the fourth quarter, going 53 yards on the
post to regain the lead, 32-29.
The Warriors responded, going right down the
heart of the Menlo defense. Shkuratov scored
once again, this time from a yard out to give his
team a 36-32 lead.
Back came Menlo behind Heneghan. His ve-
yard keeper pushed Menlo ahead 39-36 with
4:42 left in the game.
But what the Knights needed most was a stop
on defense. And South City was having none of
that.
We hadnt had that type of difculty stopping
the run, Newton said. We were having to move
some guys around and play some guys in differ-
ent spots and so we needed to get a stop, one
stop, and we werent able to get it.
Maluia and his offense took the ball at their
35-yard line and power punched their way down
the eld. On fourth down and goal from the 1
and with 22 seconds left on the clock, Maluia
called his own number and bulldozed his way
into the end zone for the winning score.
The key was executing, Maluia said. This
week, we practiced the same play over and over
and over and they came through today. I cant
even question our heart anymore. This feeling is
hella amazing.
OCEAN
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders defensive
end Andre Carter was always taught to do
everything on the field at full speed.
Recovering from a torn quadriceps injury
required a bit more patience.
Nearly 10 months after being carted off the
eld in Denver, Carter plans to take the
restraints off again in his 2012 regular season
debut. Oakland coach Dennis Allen said
Friday that Carter will be active for
Oaklands game this week against the unde-
feated Atlanta Falcons.
How much the 12th-year pass rush special-
ist plays is uncertain, though Allen indicated
he wouldnt put limitations on Carter.
It gives us a little bit more veteran leader-
ship, Allen said. Hes a guy that under-
stands how to do it and hes done it at a high
level. Hes come in and tried to help the
whole group. Hes been a good addition for
us.
Carter was signed on Sept. 26 to help a pass
rush that has produced just three sacks in four
games. The 33-year-old has 76 career sacks,
including 10 last year with New England
before he suffered the season-ending leg
injury.
The quadriceps muscle in Carters left leg
was torn so badly that he required surgery,
followed up by a grueling stretch of rehab.
While the injury scared away many poten-
tial suitors, Oakland showed an early interest
in Carter and had him in for workouts twice
before signing him following their Week 3
win over Pittsburgh.
That victory has been the lone bright spot
in the Raiders rst season since Hall of Fame
owner Al Davis died in October 2011.
Oakland is off to a 1-3 start for the sixth
time in eight seasons, with most of the prob-
lems coming on the defensive side. The
Raiders are 25th overall, 28th against the
pass.
Part of that is due to injuries that have side-
lined starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell and
Shawntae Spencer. Michael Huff, the teams
starting free safety since entering the NFL as
a rst-round pick in 2006, will make his third
consecutive start at cornerback this week.
The Raiders pass rush has also been quiet.
Defensive end Matt Shaughnessy leads the
defense with 1 1/2 sacks, defensive tackle
Richard Seymour has one while Dave
Tollefson has 1/2 sack.
Carter, who began his NFL career across
the bay with San Francisco, hopes to help
change that. He spent two weeks learning
Oaklands defense then joined the rest of the
Raiders on Wednesday for his rst padded
practice since the injury.
I knew the road to recovery was going to
be a process, Carter said. Its something
you denitely have to be very patient about.
You dont want to rush anything. You dont
want to have any major setbacks, so I did the
necessary things as far as my recovery.
Carter has been lining up primarily at right
defensive end in practice, although he also
worked on the left side Friday. The Raiders
say theyll use him at both if need be to
counter the Falcons high-paced offense.
Hell be a rotational player, and really
thats how weve handled the defensive line
anyway, Allen said. You have to try to limit
the number of plays that they play, especially
playing a team like Atlanta that throws the
ball like they do. You want to make sure you
keep some fresh rushers out there.

LOCAL SCOREBOARD
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND The nal rally of
Oaklands surprising season fell
short.
In a year featuring a majors-best
14 walkoff wins, another in Game 4
of the AL division series, and count-
less whipped cream pie celebrations
along the way, the Athletics come-
back season ended with another
dropped series to Detroit.
Yet nobody thought this bunch of
rookies and newcomers would even
be playing well into October. And
few gave them a ghting chance
after falling behind 2-0 in the best-
of-ve series before Oakland pulled
off another remarkable rally to force
a decisive Game 5.
The Tigers won Thursdays
clincher 6-0.
I didnt see it ending this way,
you know? closer Grant Balfour
said. I honestly thought something
crazy might happen out there and
wed throw a couple up there and
wed pull it out, but it didnt work
out that way. We have to hold our
heads high. We had a great year. Its
just frustrating when youre that
close and you feel like you got a
taste of it and someone takes it away
from you.
The AL West champion As
became the first team in major
league history to win a division or
pennant after trailing by ve games
with less than 10 to play.
General manager Billy Beane
plans to keep his team intact as
much as possible heading toward
2013.
Yet manager Bob Melvin had a
tough time looking ahead Friday,
the sting of losing still too fresh a
day later. He planned to y home to
New York on Saturday.
If you want to go back and
reflect on what the expectations
were, probably pretty remarkable,
he said, sitting in his ofce Friday
as players trickled into the club-
house to pack up their belongings.
But once you get into it, you are
who you are, and its a pretty empty
day. I didnt plan on spending my
day like this today.
This is the club that held not one
but two clubhouse clinch parties in
three days last week, rst when it
secured a playoff spot and again
after winning the West for the rst
time in six years.
Melvin was in full support of his
team celebrating its feats.
Especially considering everything
the As had endured in the nal
months. From losing opening day
starter Brandon McCarthy after he
took a line drive to the head that
required brain surgery, fellow
starter Bartolo Colon to a 50-game
drug suspension and then, the
unthinkable: Reliever Pat Nesheks
newborn son, Gehrig, died 23 hours
after his birth just before the play-
offs began.
More than anything, they stuck
together.
I think were in great shape,
Beane said. The satisfying thing
about the crowd last night is theyre
going to see, by and large, this team
next year. Were going to try to con-
tinue the momentum in the winter,
and we should be able to build on
this. I really like this group.
Josh Reddick, whose big bat
fueled a stunning run to overtake
Texas for the AL West crown on the
seasons nal day, struck out 10
times in the series and the As n-
ished with 50 Ks the most in
franchise history in a five-game
series.
He was hardly the only one in a
series of swings and misses by a
team that was red-hot and riding
high only a week ago.
We came a long way and accom-
plished a lot, so were obviously
upset that it didnt go very far,
Reddick said. But on the other
hand very proud of everybodys
accomplishments this year, personal
and team-wise. I feel like we made
a huge mark on this league.
This energetic young group with
12 rookies heads into the offseason
as great overachievers. Owner Lew
Wolff has said it, Beane hinted at it
and even Manager of the Year can-
didate Melvin said most everybody
else in baseball would never have
seen this coming from the low-
budget club.
The As payroll of $59.5 million is
lowest in the majors, and the As
won 94 games.
Thats after Beane traded away
three of his top pitchers last winter
to rebuild: Gio Gonzalez to the
Nationals, Trevor Cahill to Arizona
and All-Star closer Andrew Bailey
to Boston.
He doesnt expect to unload the
same way this offseason consider-
ing the youth of the team. Beane
hopes to bring back would-be free
agents Jonny Gomes and McCarthy
and pick up Balfours $4.5 million
club option for 2013.
Upstart Oakland made a remark-
able September surge, then swept
and stunned the two-time reigning
AL champion Texas Rangers in the
season-ending series to capture the
AL West crown in Game No. 162.
That set off a second celebratory
dance party in the clubhouse in
three days after Oakland first
secured a playoff spot Oct. 1.
As hope to keep team intact
Johnson scores
twice in 2-1 U.S. victory
ST. JOHNS, Antigua Eddie
Johnson rewarded his coachs faith in
him twice.
In his rst game back with the U.S.
national team, Johnson scored twice
Friday night, including the winning goal
in second-half injury time, lifting the
United States to the verge of advancing
in World Cup qualifying with a nervous
2-1 victory over Antigua and Barbuda.
If the Americans draw with Guatemala
on Tuesday night in Kansas City, Kan.,
they will move into the nal round of
CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014
World Cup in Brazil. The U.S. has 10
points and so does Guatemala after a 2-1
win over Jamaica.
Johnson connected on headers in the
20th minute and then in the dying
moments in his rst game for the U.S.
team in two years. He was added to the
squad by coach Jurgen Klinsmann,
ostensibly replacing the disappointing
Jozy Altidore, and the move paid off.
Its good to be back in the mix,
Johnson said.
Until his second goal, the Americans
struggled, particularly with the wind in
their face on the wet cricket pitch at Sir
Vivian Richards Stadium. The eld was
exceptionally tight, too, hindering the
Americans attack.
The wind picked up in the second half,
and the footing remained tricky.

Cardinals shock Nationals, advance to NLCS
WASHINGTON Doesnt mat-
ter how bad things look for the St.
Louis Cardinals. Trailing by a
bunch, down to their last strike, they
simply stay calm and do what it
takes to win.
Erasing an early six-run hole in
Game 5 slowly but surely, the
defending World Series champion
Cardinals got a tying two-out, two-
run single from Daniel Descalso and
a go-ahead two-run single from Pete
Kozma in the ninth inning and came
all the way back to beat the
Washington Nationals 9-7 Friday
night and win their NL division
series.
It was the largest comeback ever
in a winner-take-all postseason
game, according to STATS LLC. No
other club in this sort of ultimate
pressure situation had come back
from more than four down.
We knew we had a lot of game
left after they scored six. Nobody
went up there trying to hit a six-run
homer, said Descalso, whose solo
shot in the eighth made it 6-5. We
needed to scratch and claw and get
ourselves back in the game.
They did, barely: Descalsos sav-
ing single ticked off the glove of
diving shortstop Ian Desmond.
First-year manager Mike Matheny
and the wild-card Cardinals, the last
team to clinch a playoff spot this
year, will open the NL champi-
onship series at San Francisco on
Sunday.
The Nationals, meanwhile, led the
majors with 98 wins in 2012 but lost
without All-Star ace Stephen
Strasburg. The team said hed
thrown enough this year and didnt
put him on the playoff roster.
Down 7-5 with two outs in the
ninth against Nationals closer Drew
Storen, the Cardinals twice were a
strike away from losing. But Storen
walked both of those batters, Yadier
Molina and David Freese, setting
the stage for the unheralded
Descalso and Kozma Nationals
manager Davey Johnson even called
the rookie Cosmos before Game 4
to come through.
When Cardinals closer Jason
Motte got Ryan Zimmerman to pop
out to second base a half-hour past
midnight, the Cardinals streamed
from the visiting dugout for a rather
muted celebration, all in all.
This was nothing new to them.
Over the past two years, St. Louis
is 6-0 when facing elimination,
including victories in Games 6 and
7 of the 2011 World Series against
Texas.
Its just the kind of people they
are. They believe in themselves.
They believe in each other,
Matheny said. Its been this style of
team all season long. They just
dont quit, and I think that just says
a lot about their character.
Down to their last strike in the
Fall Classic a year ago, trailing by
the exact same 7-5 score in the ninth
inning, the Cardinals rallied in
Game 6 and then took the champi-
onship in what turned out to be the
nal year with the club for slugging
first baseman Albert Pujols and
then-manager Tony La Russa. Now
Matheny, who got the Cardinals into
the playoffs as the second NL wild-
card team on the next-to-last day of
the regular season, has them back in
the NLCS.
And to think: Washington, which
won the NL East and led the majors
with 98 wins, got off to as good a
start as possible Friday.
Seven pitches, three runs. Just like
that, Jayson Werths double, Bryce
Harpers triple and Zimmermans
homer got the hosts jump-started in
their rst Game 5.
That opening outburst, plus a big
third inning highlighted by the 19-
year-old Harpers homer, made it 6-
0.
St. Louis was not about to go gen-
tly into the night, though.
Would have been easy for us to
go down 6-0 and sort of roll over
and let the crowd take us out of it,
Descalso said, and just let them
have the game.
The Cardinals chipped away,
chipped away. One run off 21-game
winner Gio Gonzalez in the fourth, a
pair in the fth, another in the sev-
enth off Edwin Jackson.

Yanks take Game 5, ALCS awaits
NEW YORK CC Sabathia turned
and looked over his right shoulder,
watching intently after Nate McLouth
turned on a 93 mph fastball and sent it
soaring down the right-eld line.
Yankees-Orioles. Playoffs. Disputed
home run.
Again.
McLouths long drive was called foul
by the slimmest of margins hello,
Jeffrey Maier and New York hung on
to beat Baltimore 3-1 Friday in the
deciding Game 5 of the AL division
series.
Sixteen years later, the Orioles still
cant nd the right stuff in the Bronx.
With Alex Rodriguez benched, the
Yankees advanced to the AL champi-
onship series against the Detroit Tigers,
starting Saturday night in the Bronx.
It is still a long way to go, Sabathia
said. I still got hopefully three or four
more starts. So the job is not done yet.
Sabathia pitched a four-hitter, wrig-
gling out of a bases-loaded jam in the
eighth inning for his rst complete game
in 17 postseason starts, and the rst for
the Yankees since Roger Clemens in
2000.
Yet it was another piece of history that
this game evoked.
The Orioles were in a foul mood,
stung on a close play in right that echoed
what happened across the street at the
old Yankee Stadium in the 1996 AL
championship opener, on a fly ball
involving the young Maier that still stirs
emotions in Baltimore.
This time, with the Orioles trailing 1-0
in the sixth, McLouth sent a 3-1 pitch
deep. Eyes turned to right eld umpire
Fieldin Culbreth, who demonstrably
waved foul with both arms.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter
jogged onto the eld to ask for a video
review, and four umpires went down a
tunnel on the third-base side examine the
images on a screen near their dressing
room. When they ran back onto the eld
about two minutes later, they didnt
make any signal meaning the original
call stood. McLouth struck out on the
next pitch, ending the inning.
I saw it go to the right of the pole,
Culbreth said. There is netting there
and it didnt touch the netting. It did not
change direction, he added, indicating
he did not think the ball grazed the pole.
Added crew chief Brian Gorman: We
saw the same thing on the replay. There
was no evidence to overturn the deci-
sion.
Showalter? Not sure.
I couldnt tell. It was real close, he
said.
McLouth wondered, too, what the
umps would decide.
It started off fair and it was just hook-
ing a little bit. I thought it was foul just
in game speed, McLouth said.

bolted 45 yards for a score to give San Mateo
a 14-7 lead with 1:06 left in the rst quarter.
Two carries later, he ripped off a 55-yard
touchdown run with 9:41 left in the rst half.
Then just before halftime, he turned a 5-yard
screen pass into a 62-yard score, weaving his
way around and through the Hillsdale
defense.
In the third quarter, Latu took a sweep right
and turned it into a 52-yard score.
Even Mike (Parodi) said he has another
gear, Scheller said. Its something that cant
be taught. He makes our coaches look good.
Hillsdale had its chances to pick up its rst
win of the season. The Knights rallied from a
21-7 decit in the rst half and trailed 28-21
at halftime. In the second half, however, they
were undone by three costly turnovers. After
recovering a San Mateo fumble at mideld on
the Bearcats rst possession of the third quar-
ter, the Knights gave it right back two plays
later.
The Hillsdale defense stood rm, however,
stopping San Mateo on fourth down at the
Knights 31. But again, two plays later, the
Knights coughed it again as it appeared they
were going in for a score. The Bearcats turned
that fumble into a touchdown when Latu
scored from 52 yards out to give San Mateo a
34-21 lead.
Hillsdale had had a chance to put some
pressure on San Mateo late in the fourth quar-
ter. Trailing by 13, the Knights drove to the
San Mateo 2-yard line with just over ve min-
utes to play. But a false start penalty moved
them back ve yards and that was followed by
a 14-yard loss on a mishandled toss on a
reverse. The Knights misred on third and
fourth downs and San Mateo took over on
downs.
Hillsdale had one last gasp, but Latu all but
ended the game with an interception with just
over two minutes to play.
Its the tale of our season, Parodi said.
The offensive turnovers have been our
Achilles heel (this season). We just have to x
stuff.
While the second half was a defensive bat-
tle, the rst half featured enough offense for
an entire game as both teams marched up and
down the eld and combined for seven touch-
downs and 507 yards of offense. San Mateo
took a 7-0 lead when Taylor Sanft hooked up
with Drew Carreon for a 25-yard scoring pass.
Hillsdale came right back to tie the game on
the ensuing possession, going 78 yards on 12
plays. A.J. Bernal weaved his way through the
San Mateo defense for a 20-yard score.
San Mateo came right back, with Latu scor-
ing his rst touchdown of the night from 45
yards out. The Bearcats increased their lead to
21-7 with Latu scoring from 55 yards away.
Hillsdale regrouped and made a game of it.
The Knights drove 80 yards on their next pos-
session with Cole Carrithers hooking up with
Brandon Butcher for an 18-yard scoring
strike. The Knights then tied it at 21 when
Giancarlo Boscacci scored from 12 yards out
to cap a nine-play, 70-yard drive.
Latus 62-yard touchdown put San Mateo
up 28-21 with 27 seconds left in the second
quarter and the Knights came oh-so-close to
tying the score before halftime. Starting from
their own 20, the Knights moved to mideld
before Carrithers hit Anthony Daly on a cross-
ing route. With blockers out front, Daly near-
ly made it to the end zone, but was pulled
down at the 5-yard line as time expired in the
half.
We wanted this one, Scheller said. We
turned the corner, I hope.

SanMateos Line Latu scored four touchdowns,rushed for 235 yards,recovered a fumble and
had an interceptions in the Bearcats 34-21 win over Hillsdale.
The Cougars drove to the Aragon 46 on their
next drive before Aragons Isiah Atchan came up
with an interception and returned it to the Half
Moon Bay 42. The Dons had to punt, but forced
Half Moon Bay to punt it right back. This time,
Aragon started on the Cougars 35. The Dons
drove to the 3, but a false start moved them back
to the 8. It only gave Blood a little more eld with
which to work and he wasted little time nding
Severson in the corner of the end zone. Severson
faked hard inside before going back out. He was
uncovered and hauled in the pass for a 21-0
Aragon lead at halftime.
Blood and Severson put the nail in the Cougars
cofn on the Dons rst possession of the third
quarter. Following a Cougars punt, the Dons took
over at their own 15. Two plays and a pass inter-
ference penalty brought the ball to the 35 before
the two hooked up for a 65-yard catch-and-run
that gave the Dons a 28-0 lead.
Blood, who completed his last six passes,
ended his day with a perfectly thrown ball to Kyle
Kay for a 15-yard scoring strike.
Nats making all the throws, Sell said.
Half Moon Bay avoided the shutout when
Alberto Duenas took a pitch and swept around the
right end for a 10-yard scoring run to make it 35-
7, but Aragon rounded out its scoring on a
Jackson 15-yard run.
Half Moon Bays Ben Thornton had a good
game, rushing for 87 yards on 19 carries, but the
Cougars struggled with mounting any consisten-
cy on offense.
They were tough, Sell said of the Cougars.
Probably only the (Aragon) coaching staff was
surprised we werent having our way with them
(early on).

Starting Six, a local hip-hop band, will be
performing at Carlmont High Schools home-
coming dance on Oct. 20,
2012.
Because the band is rel-
atively well-known
throughout the Bay Area,
the dance has not only
attracted many Carlmont
students, but students
from other Bay Area
schools as well.
Sentiments beyond excitement are shared
by many because bands are typically not
present at school dances; usually music is
supplied by a DJ. Starting Sixs performance
will be a refreshing change to the entertain-
ment provided at homecoming dances.
Devin Gilmore, a freshman at City College
of San Francisco, is planning on attending
the dance.
Im excited to go (to the dance) because
Starting Sixs beats are sick and they are a
really cool group, Gilmore said.
Maika Taladua, a senior at Carlmont High
School, said her coworker and his friends
who go to Serra (High School) are going to
see Starting Six.
I told him about it and he already knew
and said he was going already, Taladua said.
Many students are thrilled to be given the
opportunity to see this band because of its

A musical and emotional journey
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
One of the enduring mysteries of classical
music is why the great Ludwig van Beethoven
devoted so much time and energy into com-
posing his Diabelli Variations. Playwright
Moises Kaufman comes up with his own pos-
sible answer in 33 Variations a two-act
drama being given its regional premiere by
TheatreWorks.
In the play, Kaufman has a prominent musi-
cologist, Dr. Katherine Brandt (Rosina
Reynolds), exploring the mystery by delving
into original scores and other documents at the
Beethoven archive in Bonn, Germany, where
the composer was born in 1770. The play
alternates between the present in Bonn and
New York City and between the years 1819
and 1823 in Vienna, where he spent most of
his 56 years. Despite deteriorating health,
Katherine insists on going to Bonn for her
research. While there, she becomes friends
with the archivist, Dr. Gertrude Ladenburger
(Marie Shell).
As Katherines condition worsens she
TheatreWorks puts on regional premiere 33 Variations
TRACY MARTIN
With the help of her friend Gertie (Marie Shell), musicologist Dr. Katherine Brandt (Rosina
Reynolds) races against time to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the life of Beethoven

Boom lands few punches
By David Germain
Here Comes the Boom,
with Kevin James as a tubby
high school science teacher
who becomes a mixed mar-
tial-arts sensation, is every bit
as ridiculous as it looks.
Thats not such a bad thing
for the movie, whose makers
embrace the fact that theyre
essentially doing a live-action
cartoon or a variation of that
Three Stooges short where
Curly becomes a boxing phe-
nom whenever he hears Pop
Goes the Weasel.
The premise here
is barely less absurd than
James conversing with ani-
mals in Zookeeper, yet he
and director Frank Coraci,
who also made that family
comedy, assemble a likable
gang of oddballs that make it
kind of work. Everyone sur-
rounding James Scott Voss is
so disarmingly incredulous
yet perversely enthusiastic
about his MMA foray that
they defuse the outrageous-
ness of this guy getting into
the cage against ferocious
brutes and coming back out
with his teeth and vital organs
intact.
The real aws in the comedy
written by Allan Loeb and
James are the stabs at genuine
moments the inspirational
classroom hijinks, the simple-
headed critiques of the short-
comings of public schools, the
humdrum romance as James
slowly wins the heart of Salma
Hayek (yeah, like thats going
to happen).
Coraci lets all of that stufng
linger and wander too loosely.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
There are decent gags and laughs, but in
between, its here comes the boor James
acting the buffoon to little effect for much of
the movie.
At the outset, James Voss is a burned-out
science educator who, so were told, was
teacher of the year a decade earlier, though
we never learn why he became a schoolroom
slug. Hes inexplicably roused to action
when the school principal (Greg Germann)
announces huge cutbacks, including the
music program run by nurturing teacher
Marty Streb (Henry Winkler).
A decent college wrestler back in the day,
Voss gures he can make some not-so-easy
money as a punching bag in MMA ghts,
where even the losers can score good paydays.
James buffed himself up a bit for the movie,
so he looks more battle-ready than youd
expect. But when he starts winning some
bouts and becoming a contender, the movies
credibility skyrockets into Rocky territory
and beyond.
James has pleasant chemistry with Hayek as
the school nurse Voss perpetually hits on, but
the wooing is mostly dull, and they never feel
as though they could be a true beauty-and-the-
beast couple the way James and Leah Remini
did on The King of Queens.
Winklers enjoyably warm and fuzzy as the
wimpy sidekick, while James sibling, King
of Queens co-star Gary Valentine, and
Melissa Peterman have funny moments as
Voss brother and sister-in-law, forever snip-
ing at each other while tending an indetermi-
nately sized brood of kids.
As Voss trainer, former UFC champ Bas
Rutten steals scene after scene with his low-
brow, bear-hugging charm, and singer Charice
adds adorability as a bright and earnest stu-
dent. Trying for authenticity in a terribly inau-
thentic story, the lmmakers bring in real mar-
tial-arts gures playing themselves, including
ex-ghter Mark DellaGrotte and commentator
Joe Rogan.
The actual ghts are played seriously, save
for a vomit gag that doesnt provide the humor
to justify its grossness. James goes into the
cage and gets knocked around the way you
gure he would, a real plausibility gap when
he keeps walking away with little more than
bumps and bruises after the vicious punches
and kicks he absorbs.
Yeah, its just dopey comedy. We should
accept it and move on. But then the lmmak-
ers have to get in our face and make believe
that Voss could actually have a shot against a
real UFC contender (pro ghter Krzysztof
Soszynski).
Is it any more ridiculous than the plot of
Rocky? Well, yes, a lot. But no more ridicu-
lous than Rocky IV, maybe.
Here Comes the Boom, a Sony release, is
rated PG for bouts of MMA sports violence,
some rude humor and language. Running
time: 104 minutes. Two stars out of four.
BOOM
By Jake Coyle
In his second movie, the Irish playwright
Martin McDonagh has mangled together a
comic, self-aware revenge ick thats half Guy
Ritchie, half Charlie Kaufman.
If that sounds like an awkward pairing, it is.
Seven Psychopaths is manic and messy
(particularly in the rst half) and McDonagh
whose previous lm was the more centered
In Bruges doesnt yet have the visual
command for a sprawling, madcap tale as this.
But its also lled with deranged wit and
unpredictable genre deconstruction that makes
Seven Psychopaths if not quite a success, a
fascinating mutt of a movie.
Colin Farrell plays Marty, a hard-drinking
screenwriter in Los Angeles and a clear stand-
in for McDonagh. (The rst letters of his last
name are pointedly obscured on his scripts, but
McDonagh is coyly suggested.) He has his
movie title Seven Psychopaths but lit-
tle else.
His friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) is his
sounding board. But as Marty tries to write, he
gets sucked into Billys own hijinks. With the
help of his older friend Hans (Christopher
Walken), Billy kidnaps dogs and then returns
them for the reward money. This practice gets
them in trouble when they swipe the Shih Tzu
of a dog-loving gangster (Woody Harrelson).
Bloody bodies quickly accumulate.
That this is the plot isnt necessarily clear
until fairly well into Seven Psychopaths. At
rst, its paced by stylish introductions of var-
ious psychopaths, some of whom are ctional
inventions like a murderous Vietnamese
priest (Long Nguyen) and some of whom
are among the main characters.
Its an excellent cast: others include Harry
Dean Stanton, Abbie Cornish, Kevin Corrigan,
Gabourey Sidibe and a bunny-cradling Tom
Waits. But this is Rockwells movie. The actor
has long specialized in loose cannons
(Moon, Snow Angels) but his Billy may
be the most fun yet.
He enthusiastically supports Marty, trying to
get him to write, while revealing that he, too,
might be a ttingly unhinged character for the
script. But even in his darkest moments, hes
gleeful at the movie hes acting out. Many of
McDonaghs best lines are his. Explaining that
he didnt mean to suggest his girlfriend is car-
rying a worse venereal disease, he sweetly
says, twice: Honey, I meant like chlamydia or
something.
In urging Martys script forward, Billy also
pushes along Seven Psychopaths. Billy
whose last name, Bickle, evokes Robert De
Niros Travis is the movies, themselves:
violent, hysterical, lunatic and totally capti-
vating. His suggested cliched vision for
Martys script (the psychopaths team up for a
cemetery shootout) could easily be in theaters
any given week. (Smokin Aces comes to
mind.) He is the excited advocate for gunplay,
action and, absolutely, a big showdown nale
both in the script and in his life, if theres
a difference.
Marty, though, wants his lm to be about
love and peace and halfway through Seven
Psychopaths, he contemplates a sudden turn
away from the expected plot mechanics. He
imagines the characters simply leaving their
guns, going to the desert and talking.
Apoplectic, Billy responds: What are we
making, French movies now?
For a while, this is exactly what Seven
Psychopaths does and its when it nds its
footing. McDonagh is best in such Beckett-
like limbos heavy with Catholic guilt the
delightfully grim In Bruges was essentially
set in purgatory, a.k.a. Belgium. The very tal-
ented writer-director has often drawn fair com-
parisons to Quentin Tarantino (both enjoy the
chit chat of hit men), but McDonaghs work
has a darker soulfulness, even when meta
playfulness like that in Seven Psychopaths
obscures it.
Also in the desert, Walkens character
whose slow, deliberate enunciations are like a
soothing metronome for lm takes peyote,
which is worth the price of admission, alone.
After breaking apart the crime film,
McDonagh puts it back together again for a
conclusion worthy of the genre. In the end, the
movies in all their insanity win. The
French lose.
Seven Psychopaths, a CBS Films release,
is rated R for strong violence, bloody images,
pervasive language, sexuality, nudity and
some drug use. Running time: 110 minutes.
Two and a half stars out of four.
McDonaghs nutty Seven Psychopaths
By John Defore
LOS ANGELES A true-crime author
stumbles onto something beyond his beat in
Scott Derricksons Sinister, which follows
Ethan Hawkes Ellison Oswalt as he grows
increasingly obsessed with a missing-girl case
he hopes will lead to a bestselling book.
Occasionally stupid (stretching even fright-
ick conventions) but scary nonetheless, the
pic should please horror fans.
When Oswalts wife (Juliet Rylance), just
uprooted to a new town (so he can investigate
the new story) and already getting bad vibes
from neighbors, asks We didnt move a few
doors down from a crime scene again, did
we?, he assures her they
didnt. She asked the
wrong question: Oswalt
has bought the very house
in which four members of a
family were slain, with the
fth abducted. An ornery
sheriff (Fred Thompson)
stops by before the boxes
are even unloaded to warn
the author hes not a fan of
his books, and doesnt cot-
ton to a fame-hungry scribbler second-guess-
ing his departments work.
Local lawmen are soon the least of Oswalts
worries. He nds a box of Super-8 lms in the
attic, each showing a family being murdered in
a uniquely grisly way. Believing hes stumbled
across his own In Cold Blood, he stays up
nights scrutinizing the lms and looking for
connections between killings whose locations
and victims are still unknown.
Derrickson borrows the vibe of Joel
Schumachers 8MM as Hawke, swigging
whiskey and giving the crease between his
eyebrows a workout, struggles with the horri-
ble things hes seeing. But the lm soon shifts
into bump-in-the-night mode, with an unseen
visitor leaving clues for Oswalt in his own
house and taunting him with increasingly
unsettling (and harder to explain) stunts.
Setting aside Oswalts infuriating unwilling-
ness to turn on the lights when homicidal
intruders inltrate his home at midnight, the
movie has him doing some pretty unjustiably
dumb things like walking with a butcher
knife thrust in front of him when he has every
reason to think his sleepwalking young son
might suddenly leap out at him.
We allow him some of this, thanks to the
pictures coy suggestions that Oswalt might be
going a little nuts due to the nature of his
investigation. But Derrickson and co-screen-
writer C. Robert Cargill are eager to draw in
more familiar supernatural elements an
occultologist (Vincent DOnofrio) identies a
crime-scene marking as a pagan symbol dat-
ing back to Babylonian times and the
movies proceduralist pleasure takes a back-
seat to ghosts and a mysterious gure known
as Mr. Boogie.

musical talent as well as the similarity in
hometowns that both the band members and
students share.
Starting Six members Jared Richmond
(Riggz), Robert Stewart (Fess), Nicholas
Naculous (Nic Nac), Greyson Tarantio
(Goose), Ryan Bremond (Bread) and Steven
Yaris (Big Steve) grew up together in the
East Bay.
Their name Starting Six originates from
the basketball team for which all six mem-
bers played at St. Marys College High
School in Berkeley.
The band taped a video for one of their
future hit songs, Thirsty, in 2009 and was
pleasantly surprised when the view count on
YouTube grew to an unexpectedly large
number. It now has more than 1,940,000
views. Eventually, they were asked to per-
form at small events until their career took
off.
Consequently, the six band members
moved to Los Angeles in 2011 to expand
the groups musical career. However, they
have agreed to come back to the Bay Area
to support Carlmont High School and play a
few highly anticipated songs.
For the students at Carlmont, the main
intent of the special performance was to
promote attendance at the homecoming
dance. According to Syna Zali, an
Associated Student Body (ASB) dance
commissioner, ASB wanted to increase
attendance rates because the amounts of
students who purchase tickets have not
been ideal in previous years.
We also just wanted to make this home-
coming stand out, especially after three
years of planning them, Zali said.
Originally, ASB was hoping to surprise
the senior class with a performance from
Starting Six at Carlmonts 2013 prom.
Instead, they decided it would be more ben-
eficial for the band to perform at homecom-
ing to boost school spirit and attendance
rates.
The overall cost for the bands perform-
ance, including setup fees and equipment,
was $2,500, a fee that was easily funded by
the increase of ticket prices by $5. Tickets
now range from $15 to $20. And, keeping
with tradition, there will also be a DJ to
accompany the group.
This has become a highly anticipated
event. Students have begun to listen to
Starting Sixs music, such as hits like
Thirsty, This Aint Water and Yogi,
more frequently in preparation for the per-
formance, tickets are being sold at an
increased rate compared to previous years,
and there is an abundance of enthusiastic
chatter all around the Carlmont campus.
Graham Godwin, a junior at Carlmont
High School, said, I wasnt sure if I was
going to homecoming, but now that I know
Starting Six is coming I am definitely
going, a statement that demonstrates the
effectiveness of ASBs plan to not only
increase attendance, but school spirit and
enthusiasm as well.
Carly Bertolozzi is a senior at Carlmont High
School. Student News appears in the weekend
edition. You can email Student News at

STUDENT
has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS,
also known as Lou Gehrigs disease her
adult daughter, Clara (Jennifer Le Blanc),
goes to Bonn to help her. Clara is accompa-
nied by her boyfriend, Mike Clark (Chad
Deverman), a nurse she had met during one
of her mothers medical appointments in
New York.
These scenes are interspersed with 19th
century events in Vienna, where a music
publisher, Anton Diabelli (Michael Gene
Sullivan), asked 50 composers to create a
variation on a short, apparently mediocre
piano waltz he had written. Although deny-
ing the request at first, Beethoven (Howard
Swain), took up the challenge and went on
to compose 33 (including the original) over
the course of several years.
Like Katherine, Beethoven had health
problems, including his deafness. Also like
Katherine, he was obsessed with his mission
to the point where he sometimes was oblivi-
ous to other peoples feelings. In his case,
the most immediate victim was his loyal
aide, Anton Schindler (Jackson Davis), who
became his biographer. In Katherines case,
the victim was Clara, who felt that her moth-
er was disappointed in the way she was liv-
ing her life.
TheatreWorks artistic director Robert
Kelley guides his talented cast through
Kaufmans shifting times and places and
their characters emotional journeys with
sensitivity. Andrea Becherts set, Fumiko
Bielefeldts costumes, Steven B.
Mannshardts lighting, Brendan Aanes
sound and Jim Grosss projections also help.
Onstage pianist William Liberatore plays
all or parts of the variations, each of which
requires virtuosity. The program gives spe-
cial thanks to musical and medical experts
from nearby universities, including Stanford
and San Jose State universities, for what one
would assume was valuable information and
insights as the director and actors developed
the characters.
All of the actors are fine. However,
Reynolds, who has a strong stage presence,
is superb as Katherine loses muscular con-
trol, affecting her mobility and eventually
her speech. Likewise, Swain is outstanding
as the often capricious Beethoven is enrap-
tured with his musical challenge, which he
calls transfigurating. Besides the
Diabelli Variations, the totally deaf
Beethoven composed his great Missa
Solemnis and Ninth Symphony during the
years covered by the play. Snatches of the
Mass are played, and parts of its Kyrie
movement are movingly sung by the cast.
Although a few scenes seem superfluous
or too long, they cant detract from the
plays inherent power and fascination inter-
mingled with some humorous moments.

By Bruce Screiner
CLERMONT, Ky. Bourbon
fan Tim Allen started his day of
sightseeing by sipping whiskeys
crafted at a Jim Beam distillery.
Where else are pre-lunch nips more
commonplace than in Kentucky
bourbon country?
Thats smooth as silk, the North
Carolinian said after sampling Jim
Beam Black, a bourbon aged for
eight years before bottling. If it
were close to ve oclock, I would
have to do something with that.
Hospitality is overowing in the
once-stodgy bourbon industry, with
whiskey makers pouring big money
into tourism.
Allen and a buddy from his col-
lege days, Woody Parker, were vis-
iting Beams new $20 million visi-
tors center, which opened earlier
this fall. Four Roses, another bour-
bon maker, opened a new visitors
center in September. Two more dis-
tillers, Wild Turkey and Heaven
Hill, are also planning new attrac-
tions.
The facilities are outgrowths of
the success of the Kentucky
Bourbon Trail, which attracted 2
million visitors in the last ve years
and a half-million in 2011. Eighty-
ve percent of trail visitors are from
outside Kentucky, according to Eric
Gregory, president of the Kentucky
Distillers Association, reflecting
the growing popularity of the
Bluegrass states staple spirit, made
in the rolling hills of central
Kentucky.
Beams new center, an eye-catch-
ing replica of a 1930s stillhouse, is
three times the size of the old tourist
center, which has been converted
into a tasting room. Called the Jim
Beam American Stillhouse, it traces
the origins of the worlds largest
bourbon-maker to Jacob Beam, who
set up his rst still in Kentucky in
1795. It features an original stair-
case from a historic Beam distillery,
and the elevator resembles a giant
still.
Its the starting point for an hour-
long tour that offers an inside peek
at mashing, distilling, barreling,
storing and bottling lines, a process
that takes years to produce Beam
bourbons sold around the world.
When you go through our tour,
youre going to use all your senses
sight, sound, smell, taste, said
Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe,
a great-grandson of Jim Beam.
People want to see what its all
about hands on. And thats what
weve got here.
Visitors can peer into fermenta-
tion tanks in which cooked grains
and water form an oatmeal-like
mash, a key part of whiskey-mak-
ing. In warehouses where whiskey
ages, theres the aroma from the
angels share, the portion of bour-
bon lost to evaporation while in the
barrel.
For Massachusetts visitor Sylvia
Smith, touring the Beam distillery
evoked fond memories of her father,
who enjoyed sipping Jim Beam
bourbon with his brother-in-law
every Saturday after working on
their farm.
They would have what they
called a board meeting, said
Smith, who toured the distillery
with her husband. It was really
going to my uncles bar in his cellar
and having a few drinks and man
time.
Bourbon production has risen
more than 115 percent since 1999,
with the popularity of pricier small-
batch and single-barrel brands lead-
ing the way along with growing
international demand. Kentucky
produces 95 percent of the worlds
bourbon. The state has more barrels
of bourbon aging in warehouses
than it does people.
Wild Turkey, another iconic
brand, will open a $4 million visi-
tors center next spring, offering
striking views of the Kentucky
River below the distillerys grounds
near Lawrenceburg. The new center
will be nearly eight times larger
than the current facility.
This new visitor center will
essentially serve as the University
of Bourbon, said Jimmy Russell,
Wild Turkeys longtime master dis-
tiller.
Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc.,
whose brands include Evan
Williams bourbon, already has a
visitors center in Bardstown, but its
building an attraction in downtown
Louisville that will feature a small
distillery along with exhibits chron-
icling Kentuckys long whiskey-
making tradition. The nearly $10
million attractions centerpiece will
be a ve-story-high Evan Williams
bottle towering over the lobby.
We feel condent that it will pay
off by building awareness of our
brands and company as well as the
overall bourbon category, said
Heaven Hill spokesman Larry Kass.
Four Roses Distillery, also near
Lawrenceburg, recently opened a
new visitors center to promote the
124-year-old brand made at its
Spanish Mission-style distillery.
The new center and gift shop were
part of a $2.4 million expansion.
The Woodford Reserve Distillery
near Versailles plans renovations to
its visitors center next year and has
hired more tour guides.
Visitors to the popular Makers
Mark Distillery near Loretto can dip
their own bottles in the distinctive
red wax topping every bottle of the
premium bourbon.
Alltechs Lexington Brewing &
Distilling Co. recently started mak-
ing its Town Branch bourbon at a
new $9.2 million distillery in the
heart of Kentuckys second-largest
city. The distillery includes a visi-
tors center.
The distilleries are within easy
driving distance of thoroughbred
farms, another signature Kentucky
industry. Some people combine
bourbon tours with visits to farms or
to Churchill Downs in Louisville or
Keeneland at Lexington when
theres live racing at the tracks.
Sometimes visitors get to meet
the master distillers the men
responsible for making the bourbon
if theyre not on the road pro-
moting the brands.
One of the best parts of my job is
sharing my love for bourbon,
Russell said.
At the Jim Beams distillery at
Clermont, visitors might see Noe
taking a break, sitting on a rocking
chair outside his ofce just up a
ridge from the visitors center. Like
his counterparts at other distilleries,
he relishes the chance to talk about
whiskey making.
I really am a live, breathing per-
son, and not some marketing tool
that somebody just made up, Noe
said.

to new noise sounds: that are non-
transportation related. As such, the
California Environmental Quality Act
governing development analysis does-
nt require mitigation measures, Nelson
wrote.
The Planning Commission, however,
could impose improvement measures or
ask the developer to include them as
conditions of approval.
Dimitri Vandellos of the Greater East
San Carlos homeowner group said he
was shocked by the report and dis-
agreed with the interpretation of the
general plan.
This is just flat-out nonsense,
Vandellos said.
Questions over noise arose at the Oct.
1 meeting when Planning Commission
Chair Scot Marsters questioned the
threshold used and told a noise analyst
his conclusions were based on incom-
plete data. Marsters pointed to the
crowded City Council chambers filled
with project opponents and said a proj-
ect requires mitigation for an adverse
impact even if the results fall below the
bar.
An EIRs conclusion that an environ-
mental impact is significant is not nec-
essarily binding on the decision-mak-
ing body because it has discretion,
according to Nelson.
Vandellos said its unclear if that
body is supposed to be city staff or the
City Council.
Why do we have a democracy if we
can have non-elected city officials just
do what they want? he asked.
Noise analyst Chris Shields said the
development would only create a small
increase in sound and dismissed the
suggestion that trees would prove a suf-
ficient barrier.
The final EIR states that to reach the
maximum noise increase, the entire
length of the project would have to be
built up to a substantial height above
the noise source and be a continuous
surface.
Project opponents a majority
being residents from East San Carlos
used the noise issue as an example of
how the final EIR in their opinion is
deficient and should not be used to rec-
ommend the City Council to certify the
project. Once certification happens, the
Planning Commission and City Council
can begin evaluating the merits of the
actual proposed development.
Currently, the plan by Foster City-
based developer Legacy Partners would
convert a 10.53-acre strip of land with-
in the existing Caltrain station and run-
ning parallel to the railroad corridor.
Legacys proposal envisions eight four-
story buildings with 281 housing units
among a mix of 407,298 square feet of
residential, 23,797 square feet of office
space and 14,326 square feet of retail
space. The project would also include
667 parking spaces and a new
SamTrans Transit Center on 4.29 acres.
Legacy may include 15 percent of the
units as affordable or, as it appears to be
leaning, pay the city $8.5 million for in-
lieu fees.
At the last meeting, the Planning
Commission spent nearly four hours
discussing and hearing from the public
on matters of noise, toxins and parking.
On Monday, the commission will look
at Nelsons report on thresholds of sig-
nificance before turning back to park-
ing. The commission also must discuss
several other areas: land use and plan-
ning, visual quality, air quality, cultural
resources, biological resources, geolo-
gy and soils, hydrology, population and
housing, public services, utilities and
other issues or concerns.
The Planning Commission also has
two alternative plans it can look to
aside from the recommended project.
One option would result in 40 fewer
residential units and another would
reduce the height and bulk of buildings
and increase the space between them.
The financial feasibility of the first is
unknown and the second is unfit
because it doesnt comply with building
codes and is a difficult design, the final
EIR stated.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7
p.m. Monday, Oct. 15 at City Hall, 600
Elm St., San Carlos.

VILLAGE
ed on State Route] 92 at a winery, it
gives people a chance to relax without
the congestion that might occur with
around 30,000 people at the festival,
Brown said.
Several alternate glass pumpkin ven-
dors travel from afar to attend the festi-
val and turn a prot. However, when the
heat of the festival dies down, Browns
studio continues to stay hot with his
year-round classes.
Denali St. Amand, a teacher at Menlo
School, brought her eighth-grade class
in to visualize the art they learned about
in their Latin class.
After coming here, theyre complete-
ly enchanted and excited and its local
art which makes it even more exciting.
Its a great experience, Amand said.
Browns patient, relaxed and humor-
ous attitude makes learning simple and
joyous for all of his students. Browns
classes range from $40-$240, depend-
ing on desired length of studio time,
Brown said. Due to the limited size of
the studio, students have the luxury of
working one on one with a professional
glassblower.
Mary Grimm, 31, took her rst class
at Browns studio. Slightly nervous
before starting, Grimm walked away
with a grin after making her own glass
pumpkin.
Teaching classes is key to maintaining
the high cost of running a glass studio.
Yet this aspect of his trade has proved to
be much more than nancially reward-
ing.
I actually had no idea I was going to
enjoy [teaching] as much as I do,
Brown said.
Brown correlates his instructional
capabilities to his other job. As a
licensed real estate agent, Brown walks
new buyers through a very complex
process in territory with which theyre
unfamiliar. Teaching glassblowing is the
same, Brown said.
When hes not teaching, Brown
makes roughly 10 to 15 pieces a day on
his own.
Like many artists, Brown is fueled by
commissions. The MGM Hotel in Las
Vegas recently commissioned Brown to
make more than 100 glass vegetables
which it used to create a room divider in
a restaurant, Brown said. A new contract
calls for 15 large diameter jellysh that
will hang over an Olympic-sized swim-
ming pool, Brown said.
Yet Brown is keen on blowing pump-
kins to sell at a renowned festival.
Pumpkins themselves represent a
chance for someone to pick up art at a
relatively low cost thats an American-
made craft, Brown said.
The prices of Browns pumpkins
range from $10 to $1,000. As patrons
meander through the glass patch with
more than 1,000 exceptional pumpkins
from which to choose, they have an
exclusive opportunity to meet the artist.
We get a chance to talk to everyone
that comes. That kind of unique experi-
ence, being able to talk directly with the
artist, is one of the things that you cant
necessarily get at such a huge event,
Brown said.

important lessons youre likely to learn wont be
found in books. The indications are that wisdom will
come your way through personal experience.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Possibilities for you
to reap material gains from unusual sources look
good. If a competent associate talks to you about
something potentially proftable, listen carefully.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you pledge your
word to do something for another, make every effort
to follow through on it. Your commitments should be
taken very seriously.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Spend your efforts and
time on some truly meaningful endeavors, and youll
increase your feelings of self-worth considerably.
Structure your day to be truly productive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- There is no need to
feel guilty if you end up participating in some fun
diversions. After having such a hectic week, with the
chance of another one ahead, you need the break.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youll feel far more
gratifcation by looking out for the needs of others
rather than just your own. Generosity breeds nobility.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- One of your greatest
assets will be your ability to communicate effectively
with others. It doesnt matter if youre writing, selling,
promoting or instructing -- youll do well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There are times to be frugal
and times when its OK to spurge within reasonable
parameters. You should be able to combine these two
extremes without detrimental results.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Most people whom youll
be involved with arent likely to be as effective in a
leadership situation as you will be. Being asked to
take charge of a critical situation is inevitable.
