The city of San Mateo has received a plan-
ning application to demolish the aging
Hillsdale Inn just off Highway 101 and
replace it with 180 condominiums.
Barry Swenson Builder submitted an
application to redevelop the 477 E.
Hillsdale Blvd. property to the San Mateo
Planning Department and is still in early
stages of the review process, said Christy
Usher, the citys project planner for the
proposal.
The application consists of a four-story
building and three three-story buildings
with studios up to three-bedroom units, as
well as a 364-space underground parking
structure, Usher said.
Constructed in the 1950s, the Hillsdale
Inn used to be a hot spot along Highway
101, said Joshua Burroughs, development
manager at Barry Swenson Builder. Its land-
mark tower, fashioned after a air trafc con-
trol tower, was used as a honeymoon suite
but fell into disrepair and was demolished in
2001.
About 10 years ago, the company bought
the property with the intent of redevelop-
ing it, Burroughs said. Ideas for the proper-
ty have changed over the years and at differ-
ent times BSB considered turning it into a
senior housing project, a new hotel and
other apartments, Burroughs said.
Weve been working with the city for
over 10 years on this specic property in
various iterations of development ideas,
Burroughs said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Federal education
ofcials renewed a threat this week to
withhold funds from California if it
moves forward this spring with a plan to
abandon the standardized tests the states
public school students have taken since
1999.
The U.S. Department of Education
informed state ofcials through a letter
that more than $3.5 billion in federal aid
for disadvantaged students is at stake in the dispute.
Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary
Education Deborah Delisle wrote that federal ofcials sup-
port the new computerized tests California wants to give
students in grades 3-8 and 11 on a trial basis.
But Delisle says the states plan to have students take
either the math or language sections and not report the 2014

Teen murder
suspect back in county
The teenage murder defendant who
escaped from juvenile hall in
February 2008 was back in San Mateo
County after Texas authorities paused
prosecution of alleged home burgla-
ries in San Antonio, it was reported
the week of Nov. 1, 2008.
Josue Raul Orozco, 18, was own
from Texas to San Mateo County of
Wednesday of that
week and was set to
appear in San Mateo
County Superior
Court for appearance
on his bench warrant.
Orozco was awaiting a May 2008
trial on those counts along with this
adult co-defendant, Faustino Ayala,
when he escaped. With the help of
two fellow wards who were sentenced
for their role, Orozco scaled a wall at
the detention center at 222 Paul
Scannell Drive in unincorporated San
Mateo.
Orozco remained at large for eight
months until his Sept. 16, 2008
arrest by the San Antonio Police
Department Tactical Response/Gang
Unit. Orozco, who was booked into
the Bexar County Jail under the name
Jesus Contreras, was charged there
with burglary, resisting arrest and
lying to police.
Orozco was 14 when arrested for the
July 12, 2005 fatal shooting of
Francisco Rodriguez outside his
Redwood City residence. Orozco
earned the dubious distinction of
being the youngest person ever
charged as an adult for murder in San
Mateo County.
County greenlights
Lehman lawsuit
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors unanimously
agreed the week of Nov. 1,
2008 to hire outside coun-
sel to sue the ofcers and
directors of Lehman
Brothers Holdings, the
bankrupt investment rm whose end
siphoned $150 million from the local
cities, school districts and special
agencies.
County Counsel Mike Murphy
announced the boards decision, made
in closed session, prior to the super-
visors public meeting. Murphy did
not elaborate on reasons or a specic
timeline.
The County Investment Fund
involves 1,050 different accounts
with some cities and districts having
more than one fund invested. The
fund had 5.9 percent of its $2.6 bil-
lion in Lehman Brothers, leading to
a loss of just more than $150 mil-
lion for investors. County schools
alone were estimated to have lost
$37.3 million while Peninsula
cities estimated losses ranged from
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
to more than $1 million.
County manager search
quietly getting started
County supervisors interviewed a
short list of candidates the week of
Nov. 1, 2008 to ll the county man-
ager position and were expected to
announce an appointment.
The board met with possible
replacements for County Manager
John Maltbie who was stepping down
at the end of 2008 after two
decades as the countys nan-
cial overseer.
Assistant County Manager
David Boesch was long considered a
strong contender but county ofcials
launched an open recruitment process
following Maltbies retirement
announcement in April 2008.
Spending drops in
September while incomes slow
Consumer spending dropped in
September 2008 by the largest
amount in four years, while incomes
suffered because of Hurricane Ike, it
was reported the week of Nov. 1,
2008.
The Commerce Department reported
that week that personal spending fell
by 0.3 percent the month prior, the
biggest decline since June of 2004.

To usher in a brand-new art gallery, the
NanHai group in Millbrae is hosting a sem-
inar series on Chinese
art, which begins this
weekend.
Begun in 1986, NanHai
Art, a branch of NanHai,
is focused on introducing
new audiences to contem-
porary artwork that high-
lights unique aesthetic
and cultural values of
Chinese art and tran-
scends traditional boundaries of East and
West. The gallery is opening this February
to coincide with Chinese New Year.
[We] had the idea almost two years ago,
said NanHai Director Edward Gui, who began
working for the organization this year.
Since July weve put the idea into reality.
The seminar hall and organizations head-
quarters are on the third oor of a building at
510 Broadway in Millbrae. There are cur-
rently renovations on the rst oor, which
once housed NanHais bookstore and will be
used as the new gallery. Construction began
in July and the bookstore is being moved to
the organizations Santa Clara ofce, which
focuses on education. A gift shop will be
placed where Bank of the Orient is currently
located across from the future gallery.
The seminars are intended to ease the tran-
sition between the group running a cultural
art center to a commercial gallery. Kuiyi
Shen, a professor of art history and director
of the Chinese studies program at
University of California, San Diego, will
open up the series with a talk entitled Ink
as Cultural Identity.
Theres a high demand to learn about
Eastern arts and the arts exchange, said
Gallery Associate Alice Zhang. We want to
be a platform to help people have a better
understanding of this. We want to have a
good representation of Chinese ink paint-
ing technologies, but also incorporate
Western ideas into the paintings.
The plan is to have exhibitions last for
ve weeks each and ve exhibitions per
year. Pieces of art will be sold at the end of
each exhibition. Works will come from con-
temporary Chinese artists who the group
recruited.
Its a more open, better space, Zhang
said.
Construction should be completed on the
gallery in the next couple of weeks. Other
speakers are Zaixin Hong, a professor of
Chinese art history at University of Puget
Sound, and Arthur Mu-sen Kao, an artist and
art professor at San Jose State University.
NanHai also has ofces in Santa Clara,
Millbrae and near Seattle.
The rst seminar will be held from 2 p.m.-
4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, with two more fol-
lowing on Nov. 9 and 16 at the same times.
Admission is free, but you can RSVPonline.
Contact Zhang at 259-2100 or art@nan-
hai.com for more information.

Elder fraud defendant to trial
ARedwood City man accused of widespread elder abuse by
defrauding people with tales of domestic and economic woes is
heading straight to trial after waiving a preliminary hearing on
the evidence.
James Keeton, 63, instead will enter a
Superior Court plea Nov. 19 and possibly
set a trial date.
Keeton is charged with seven counts of
fraud and six counts of elder abuse linked to
alleged incidents between 2008 and 2010.
Prosecutors say Keeton swindled more
than $270,000 total from multiple people.
Keeton reportedly befriended people
between the ages of 51 and 88 through the
San Mateo Horsemans Association and St.
Pius Parish in Redwood City. After gaining their trust, he
would ask for loans between $3,000 and $23,650 because he
said his wife had recently miscarried twins and they were going
to lose their house to foreclosure. Keeton promised to repay
the money with a large inheritance tied up in litigation in New
York but never did so and cut off communication after, accord-
ing to the District Attorneys Ofce. Keeton was arrested in
March. He remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail.
Woman scammed out of nearly $90K
An 80-year-old South San Francisco woman was defrauded of
approximately $89,571 through a telephone scam in which
the caller identied himself as the victims grandson, accord-
ing to police. The rst call was Oct. 3 and the suspect request-
ed she send $1,700 by money order to New York City then con-
tinued to call the victim semi-daily requesting $8,000 between
Oct. 4 and Oct. 19. The suspect instructed the victim to use var-
ious banks and tellers to withdraw money from in order to
avoid drawing suspicion for this unusual activity, according to
police.
Locals awarded for water rescue
Four Half Moon Bay Harbor employees were given a state
award for the recent rescue of two people who became trapped
by an incoming tide in a coastal cave.
Assistant Harbor Master John Draper; Deputy Harbor Master
Michael Williams; Deputy Harbor Master Cary Smith; and
State Park lifeguard Jeff Wadkins, stationed in Half Moon Bay,
were presented with 2013 Distinguished Service Awards at an
annual California Association of Harbor Masters and Port
Captains meeting Oct. 30.
The Pillar Point Harbor team responds to more than 110 life-
threatening calls on the water every year. It is a 24/7 team that
uses both rescue vessels and personal watercraft for surf area
rescues. The San Mateo County Harbor District includes the
Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay and the Oyster Point
Marina Park in South San Francisco.
Commercial burglary suspect arrested
An Alameda man arrested for commercial burglary yesterday
may be linked to more than 20 such crimes across the county,
according to police.
At approximately 1 p.m. Thursday, a joint effort by
Belmont, San Mateo, Burlingame and the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce resulted in the arrest of Pablo Vega, 29, at a
motel on the 1500 block of El Camino Real in San Carlos. He
was identied as the common link in several recent burglaries
and was found in possession of stolen property attributed to a
number of recent commercial burglaries in San Carlos in the
last week or so, according to police.
Panel passes new rail worker safety rules
The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday
approved new safety regulations for transit agenciesrail work-
ers that are believed to be the rst of their kind in the nation.
The new rules came less than two weeks after two Bay Area
Rapid Transit workers were killed while working on tracks dur-
ing the agencys second worker strike since July.
The rules include mandatory three-way radio communication
between wayside workers, train operators and central com-
mand. The parties also must conrm their locations, safety
protections being used, and implementation of those meas-
ures, including wearing standardized protective clothing,
before a train enters a work area.

Jurors could begin as early as
Tuesday deciding if Reynaldo
Maldonado helped murder a Daly City
teen in 2001 but a judge ruled they will
not rst hear psychological evidence
his defense hoped would show he is
low-functioning.
Prosecutor Jeff Finigan argued the
mental state of Maldonado, 34, is not
pertinent because the defendant testi-
ed that he wasnt even present at the
May 21, 2001, stabbing of
Quetzlcoatl Alba in a storage unit
turned teen hangout at the Westlake
Apartments. Maldonado blames child-
hood friend and former lover Erick
Morales, 32, who is being tried sepa-
rately for the murder. Maldonado
claims he only buried the bloody evi-
dence after the killing because he was
protective of Morales and lied to
police in part because he was afraid of
Morales father.
Following Judge Mark Forcums rul-
ing, defense attorney Paul Demeester
rested his case yesterday. Trial will
resume Tuesday morning with jury
instructions and closing arguments.
A l t h o u g h
Maldonados mental
ability wont be
admissible in trial,
his psychiatric and
psychological eval-
uations were a key
stumbling block in
getting him to trial
after he was extra-
dited from Florida in
2007 following a
tip in the then-cold case.
Prosecutors wanted access to the
evaluations because they anticipated a
psychiatric defense. Demeester had
argued it was privileged unless
Maldonado first presented his own
mental health evidence but the
California Supreme Court ruled last
year in favor of the prosecution.
However, Forcum ruled in pretrial
motions the defense could not use evi-
dence of any mental disorder and
upheld the decision after Maldonados
testimony.
Maldonado and Morales both face
life in prison without parole if con-
victed of murdering Alba.
Prosecutors contend Maldonado held
Alba down while Morales stabbed him
repeatedly in the neck, arms and torso.
Maldonado testified Morales called
him to the scene after killing Alba and
asked him to hide the knife, a cell-
phone and a sweatshirt. Both men were
eyed as suspects but each left Daly City
shortly after the murder. Maldonado
eventually ended up in Florida where,
according to his friend Mario Cajina,
he confessed the killing and showed a
photo taken of Morales standing over
Albas body. Cajina tipped off Daly
City police who found the buried items
in the mens former Daly City back-
yard.
Authorities extradited Maldonado
who tried escaping his armed guards at
San Francisco International Airport by
jumping 25 feet over a concrete railing
while still handcuffed and sustained
severe head injuries.
In 2009, two years after
Maldonados arrest, Morales was
apprehended after an East Coast trafc
stop revealed his identity.
Maldonado and Morales are both in
custody without bail.

Defense rests in teen murder trial
Reynaldo
Maldonado
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A woman who
was sentenced to life in prison as a
teenager for killing her former pimp
was released Thursday under a new
California law that allows resentenc-
ing of certain inmates convicted as
juveniles.
Sara Kruzan was paroled from
Central California Womens Facility
in Chowchilla after serving 19 years,
said Luis Patino, a spokesman for the
state Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.
She was 17 when she was sentenced
for fatally shooting George Gilbert
Howard in a Riverside motel room in
1994. She said Howard sexually
assaulted her at an early age and she
began working for him as a prostitute
at 13.
Prosecutors said Kruzan was no
longer working for Howard when she
killed him.
In January, a Riverside County judge
reduced Kruzans conviction to second-
degree murder, making her immediate-
ly eligible for parole. She was released
less than a week after Gov. Jerry
Brown decided against blocking her
parole.
On his last day in ofce in 2011, for-
mer Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had
commuted Kruzans sentence to 25
years to life with the possibility of
parole, noting her signicant abuse
starting at a vulnerable age.
Her petition for clemency also cited
years of abuse and psychiatric reports
saying she suffered from battered
womens syndrome.
The new law sponsored by state Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, permits
inmates who were sentenced as juve-
niles to life in prison without parole to
seek new sentencing hearings.
Yee was at the prison in Chowchilla
with Kruzans supporters and friends.
Kruzan was the rst inmate to earn
the new sentence under the law, Yee
said. As of June, 286 inmates were
serving life without parole for crimes
they committed before they turned 18
Before dawn Thursday, a corrections
employee drove her from the prison in
the heart of the San Joaquin Valley
about 135 miles southeast of
Sacramento.

Woman who killed pimp paroled from state prison

LOS ANGELES A Southern
California woman cited for wearing
Internet-connected eyeglasses while
driving plans to contest the citation.
Cecilia Abadie was pulled over for
speeding Tuesday evening in San
Diego, when a California Highway
Patrol ofcer noticed she was wearing
Google Glass and tacked on a citation
usually given to drivers who may be
distracted by a video or TV screen.
The lightweight eyeglasses, which
are not yet widely available to the pub-
lic, feature a hidden computer and a
thumbnail-size transparent display
screen above the right eye. Users can
scan maps for directions as well as
receive web search results, read email
and engage in video chats without
reaching for a smartphone.
Abadie, a software developer, said in
an interview that she was not using her
Google Glass when she was pulled
over for allegedly going about 80 mph
in a 65 mph zone on the drive home to
Temecula after visiting a friend.
The Glass was on, but I wasnt
actively using it to conserve the bat-
tery, she said.
Abadie expressed surprise that wear-
ing the glasses while driving would be
illegal and said shes pretty sure she
will ght the ticket. First, she said, she
needs to seek legal counsel. In the urry
of online commentary her trafc stop
has generated, several people saying
they are attorneys offered their services.
The law is not clear, the laws are
very outdated, Abadie said, suggest-
ing that navigating with the device
could be less distracting than with a
GPS unit or phone.
Maybe Glass is more a solution to
the cellphone problem than a prob-
lem, she said.

Hagel blasts states on
same-sex benefits policy
WASHINGTON Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday
sharply criti-
cized U.S. states
that are defying
the Pentagon by
refusing to
allow National
Guard facilities
to issue ID cards
that enable
s a m e - s e x
spouses of mili-
tary members to
claim benet s.
This is wrong, Hagel said in a
speech in New York.
Not only does this violate the
states obligation under federal law,
their actions have created hardship
and inequality by forcing couples
to travel long distances to federal
military bases to obtain the ID
cards theyre entitled to, he said.
FDA enlists companies to
head off drug shortages
WASHINGTON The Food and
Drug Administration announced a
new proposal Thursday to try and
head off more shortages of crucial
medications that have disrupted
care at hospitals and clinics
nationwide.
Under the proposed rule, compa-
nies that make medically impor-
tant prescription medicines would
have to notify the FDAsix months
ahead of any changes that could
disrupt the U.S. supply.

WASHINGTON Just two
weeks after President Barack
Obama saw his Democratic Party
put up an unyielding front against
Republicans, his coalition is
showing signs of stress.
From health care to spying to
pending budget deals, many con-
gressional Democrats are chal-
lenging the administration and
pushing for measures that the
White House has not embraced.
Some Democrats are seeking to
extend the enrollment period for
new health care exchanges.
Others want to place restraints on
National Security Administration
surveillance capabilities. Still
others are standing tough against
any budget deal that uses long-
term reductions in major benefit
programs to offset immediate cuts
in defense.
Though focused on disparate
issues, the Democrats anxieties
are connected by timing and stand
out all the more when contrasted
with the remarkable unity the
party displayed during the recent
showdown over the partial gov-
ernment shutdown and the con-
frontation over raising the
nations borrowing limit.
That moment was always
going to be fleeting, said Matt
Bennett, who worked in the
Clinton White House and who
regularly con-
sults with
Obama aides.
The White
House, every
White House,
u n d e r s t a n d s
that these
folks, driven
either by prin-
ciple or the
demands of the politics of their
state, have to put daylight
between themselves and the pres-
ident on occasion.
Obama and the Democrats
emerged from the debt and shut-
down clash with what they
wanted: a reopened govern-
ment, a higher debt ceiling and
a Republican Party reeling in
the depths of public opinion
pol l s.
But within days, attention
turned to the problem-riddled
launch of the 3-year-old health
care laws enrollment stage and
revelations that the U.S. had been
secretly monitoring the commu-
nications of as many as 35 allied
leaders, including German
Chancellor Angela Merkel. And
with new budget talks underway,
Democratic Party liberals reiter-
ated demands that Obama not
agree to changes that reduce
Social Security or Medicare bene-
fits even in the improbable event
Republicans agree to increase
budget revenues.
Some Democrats push back on Obama
By Ken Thomas
WASHINGTON To hear Rep.
Paul Ryan tell it, a bipartisan
group of congressional negotia-
tors has the chance to take the
rst steps toward xing a serious
problem: a debt-ridden federal
government facing an onslaught
of retiring baby boomers drain-
ing entitlement programs.
If successful, well restore
condence in Washington, Ryan
said this week at the start of
House-Senate budget talks. The
bar is pretty low right now. Lets
see if we can clear it.
The 2012 Republican vice
presidential nominee seemed to
suggest a collaborative approach
as he started formal talks with
Democrats intended to reach a
budget agreement by mid-
December. The panel could be
pivotal in avoiding another gov-
ernment shutdown in January
when money is slated to run out
again and a debt default in
February.
From now until a deal is
reached, how Ryan comports
himself could offer clues about
his political future is he
maneuvering for a House leader-
ship position
or for a 2016
pr e s i de nt i a l
c a m p a i g n ?
The 43-year-
old Wisconsin
c o n g r e s s -
mans remarks
and actions in

also could sig-
nal which side
of the ideological-pragmatic
divide he favors or whether he
can straddle both sides at a
time of deep rifts within the
Republican Party between tea
party conservatives and more
business-friendly, establishment
Republicans.
As he usually does, Ryan is
warning against drawing any
political inferences from his
words or actions.
A lot of people just dont
understand me, Ryan said recent-
ly in an interview with the
Associated Press. Look, I am
not sitting in my home or in my
ofce thinking about How does
this help my personal political
career years down the road? I am
literally thinking about whats
the best way I can do my job
today.

BEIRUT Israeli warplanes
attacked a shipment of Russian mis-
siles inside a Syrian government
stronghold, ofcials said Thursday, a
development that threatened to add
another volatile layer to regional ten-
sions from the Syrian civil war.
The revelation came as the govern-
ment of President Bashar Assad met a
key deadline in an ambitious plan to
eliminate Syrias entire chemical
weapons stockpile by mid-2014 and
avoid international military action.
The announcement by a global
chemical weapons watchdog that the
country has completed the destruction
of equipment used to produce the dead-
ly agents highlights Assads willing-
ness to cooperate, and puts more pres-
sure on the divided and outgunned
rebels to attend a planned peace con-
ference.
An Obama administration official
confirmed the Israeli airstrike
overnight, but provided no details.
Another security official said the
attack occurred late Wednesday in the
Syrian port city of Latakia and that the
target was Russian-made SA-125 mis-
siles.
The ofcials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to publicly discuss the
attack. There was no immediate conr-
mation from Syria.
Since the civil war in Syria began in
March 2011, Israel has carefully
avoided taking sides, but has struck
shipments of missiles inside Syria at
least twice this year.
The Syrian military, overstretched
by the civil war, has not retaliated, and
it was not clear whether the embattled
Syrian leader would choose to take
action this time. Assad may decide to
again let the Israeli attack slide, par-
ticularly when his army has the upper
hand on the battleeld inside Syria.

SAN DIEGO Atunnel designed to
smuggle drugs from Tijuana, Mexico, to
San Diego is equipped with electricity,
ventilation and a rail system, U.S.
authorities said Thursday, making it
one of the more sophisticated secret
passages discovered along the U.S.-
Mexico border.
Authorities seized more than 8 tons
of marijuana and 325 pounds of cocaine
in connection with the discovery, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
said. Three suspects were in U.S. cus-
tody.
The tunnel links warehouses in
Tijuana and San Diegos Otay Mesa
industrial area. The area is lled with
nondescript warehouses, making it eas-
ier to conceal trucks being loaded with
drugs.
The tunnel was found Wednesday and
completed only recently, ICE said.
Authorities did not say exactly when it
was built or whether drugs are believed
to have gotten through undetected.
As U.S. border security has height-
ened on land, Mexican drug cartels have
turned to ultralight aircraft, small sh-
ing boats and tunnels. More than 75
underground passages have been dis-
covered along the border since 2008,
designed largely to smuggle marijuana.
The tunnels are concentrated along
the border in California and Arizona.
San Diego is popular because its clay-
like soil is easy to dig. In Nogales,
Ariz., smugglers tap into vast under-
ground drainage canals.
The tunnel is the eighth major pas-
sage discovered in San Diego since
2006, a period during which Mexicos
Sinaloa cartel has solidied its hold on
the prized smuggling corridor. ICE said
Wednesdays tunnel was the rst in the
San Diego area that was found to be used
for cocaine.
U.S. and Mexican authorities did not
disclose the dimensions of the tunnel.
In November 2011, authorities found
a 600-yard tunnel that resulted in
seizures of 32 tons of marijuana on
both sides of the border, with 26 tons
found on the U.S. side, accounting for
one of the largest pot busts in U.S. his-
tory. The tunnel was equipped with elec-
tric rail cars, lighting and ventilation.
Wooden planks lined the oor.

Obama gets more tech help to fix health care site
SAN FRANCISCO The Obama administration has
recruited engineers from several prominent technology
companies to help x the problems preventing people from
signing up for government-mandated health insurance.
Oracle and Red Hat are pitching in as well as Michael
Dickerson, an engineer on leave from Google, according to
a blog post Thursday by Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison told shareholders at the
software makers annual meeting Thursday that the Redwood
Shores company is trying to make the Healthcare.gov web-
site more reliable and secure.
Most of us want to see our government operating ef-
ciently and effectively and it is incumbent upon us to help
them do that, Ellison said.
Red Hat Inc. and Google Inc. declined to comment.
Dickerson is a site-reliability engineer at Google. He is
now working directly with QSSI, the general contractor
hired to upgrade Healthcare.gov, Bataille said.
Dell laptop buyers make a stink over cat smell
NEWYORK Anoxious feline odor has some Dell cus-
tomers caterwauling.
People who own Dell Latitude 6430u laptops are com-
plaining that their pricey new computers are emitting a
smell similar to cat urine. Some of them said on the compa-
nys online customer forums that the odor seems to be com-
ing from the keyboard or palm rest.
The Round Rock, Texas, company originally advised buy-
ers through its forums to try cleaning their keyboards with
a soft cloth or compressed air, but the smell persisted.
The machine is great, but it smells as if it was assembled
near a tomcats litter box, wrote a customer using the han-
dle three west on a Dell forum back in June. It is truly
awful!
On Wednesday, another customer writing under the handle
passips said he felt terrible for repeatedly scolding his
cat Jerry, because he thought the elderly cat kept spraying
the computer. The poster also said he wasted money on vet-
erinarian bills in an attempt to determine whether his cat
had a medical problem.

Official: 92 bodies of
migrants found in Niger
DAKAR, Senegal Nearly 100
African migrants hoping to escape
crushing poverty met a grisly end
in the desert, officials said
Thursday, dying of thirst under the
baking sun after their two trucks
broke down in the middle of the
Sahara before reaching Algeria.
It took weeks for authorities to
learn of the tragedy and for recov-
ery teams to reach the distant site,
where they found a gruesome scene
including the remains of 52 chil-
dren and 33 women.
It was horric. We found badly
decomposing bodies and others
that had been eaten by jackals,
said Almoustapha Alhacen, the
head of a nonprot organization in
northern Niger that helped bury
the bodies and who was at the site
Wednesday. We found the bodies
of small children who were huddled
beside their dead mothers.
The victims were spread out
across a 12-mile (20-kilometer)
radius, suggesting they had set off
on foot but failed to head in the
direction of the Algerian border
just 6 miles (10 kilometers) away,
he added.

Letters to the editor
Measure P is necessary
for equity and fairness
Editor,
I am concerned about some of the facts
which the opponents have used in their
arguments against Measure P. First,
Measure P includes $62 million not $80
million for rebuilding Bowditch to
accommodate growing enrollments in
Foster City.
Another inaccurate statement is that prior
bond measures have been split based on the
student populations in San Mateo and
Foster City. This is not true the prior
bonds with which I am very familiar were
allocated based on providing equity for all
students by bringing schools up to a dis-
trict standard. Bond funds were used in
schools, regardless of location, that didnt
have multipurpose rooms, libraries or mid-
dle school science labs. This is true equity.
In 2009, as enrollments increased in Foster
City and Baywood, dozens of community
meetings were held. The result was the addi-
tion of 10 classrooms and a multipurpose
room at Baywood with a previous bond.
Now, its time to address enrollment
growth in Foster City as well as in San
Mateo.
The opponents argue there has not been
community input. This is simply not true.
The Board of Trustees, which we elected to
serve all students in the district, took
action after many public meetings to adopt
plans to relieve overcrowding in Foster
City and San Mateo (the Enrollment
Management Plan) and approve a new tech-
nology plan for the entire district all
approved by aye votes from all ve board
members.
Measure P is endorsed by the San Mateo
Daily Journal and the San Jose Mercury
News/San Mateo County Times it
deserves a yes vote for San Mateo and
Foster City children.
Tish Busselle
San Mateo
No on P
Editor,
The concept of approving Measure P and
spending $20 million on Knolls
Elementary School in San Mateo is mind-
boggling. The message is to vote yes now
so we have the money then we will cre-
ate a plan. I say absolutely not. Come up
with a plan rst; at that point, we will take
the plan into consideration when we vote.
Knolls is in the southern end of the dis-
trict. The predicted growth is in the north-
ern end of the district. How will opening
Knolls alleviate overcrowding in the
north? It wont. So will Knolls be a magnet
school? What type of magnet school? If
so, how many children will attend? Magnet
schools have a 50/50 success rate in the
district. I fear that the grand plan is to
redraw school boundaries up and down
Alameda de las Pulgas. Redrawing bound-
aries will no doubt affect property values.
Brace yourself because that conversation
will denitely be contentious.
This is just one of several reasons why
this bond measure is not written properly.
In a nutshell, the bond measure as it is
written is irresponsible.

San Mateo ice rink
Editor,
In a few months, Americas best young
skaters will travel to Sochi, Russia to com-
pete in the 2014 Winter Olympics. They
have spent years training and preparing in
their hometown rinks. Unfortunately, the
Bay Area now has one less hometown rink:
The Ice Chalet at Bridgepointe in San
Mateo, where 1992 gold medalist Kristi
Yamaguchi, as well as Olympians Brian
Boitano and Debbi Thomas, nourished
their Olympic dreams.
The recent closure of the rink never
should have happened. The land remains
zoned only for an ice rink. The ice rink
remains at Bridgepointe and is viable but is
not being operated.
The zoning rules governing the rink were
already in place when the current developer
purchased the property. To convert the rink
to retail space or other use, the developer
needs the permission of city authorities.
Our committee opposes this change and is
asking the city to consider the many thou-
sands of signatures collected, representing
the voices of our community.
Next week, there will be an election for
three seats in San Mateo City Council. We
interviewed candidates and applaud the
efforts of Councilman Robert Ross who put
forth constructive proposals, and Mayor
David Lims efforts to nd an investor-led
solution. We also believe candidates
Joshua Hugg and Joe Goethals support hav-
ing a rink in San Mateo.

Ortiz for the open seat
Editor,
I agree with those who say that Ann
Keighran and Michael Brownrigg deserve
re-election. As a six year member of the
Burlingame City Council, I believe it to be
the best council I have seen in my 35 years
in Burlingame. I am also supporting
Ricardo Ortiz, whom I believe to be the
best candidate for the open seat. Ricardo
brings a unique combination of business
know-how, leadership and community serv-
ice. His campaign has risen above the false
and misleading statements of others while
offering sound advice and problem solving
ideas. During this election, I have been sur-
prised to hear statements made out of pure
ignorance, manipulation of facts and will-
ful disregard for the truth. Some think you
win an election by joining community
organizations just prior to the election.
Some argue, that If you dont agree with
them, you are simply not listening. They
dont understand that listening sometimes
ends in not agreeing. As a councilmember,
you must listen to all. Because Ortiz is a
banker he knows business and nance. As a
Rotarian, he lives by its creed service
above self. Ortiz has impressed me as an
avid supporter and volunteer for BCE,
AYSO and other community related organi-
zations for many years. Ortiz has shown
me that he indeed listens. Please vote for
the best open seat candidate, Ricardo Ortiz.

Vote no on R
Editor,
The Belmont-Redwood Shores school
district is again asking for more parcel
taxes with Measure R a 10-year, $20
million parcel tax. As much as their sup-
porters say they have a revenue problem
requiring this new tax, in reality what this
school district has is a serious spending
problem.
One key example of this scal irrespon-
sibility is the hiring of their new superin-
tendent, providing him a compensation
package that is extraordinary for its size
and out of scale with neighboring districts.
The new superintendent is paid a base
salary of $192,000, a stipend of $2,600
for his advanced degrees, and a generous
tax-free car allowance of over $6,000 annu-
ally; when these are combined with his
benets and retirement package, the dis-
trict is likely shelling out over $210,000.
This is signicantly more than Redwood
City and similar to San Mateo/Foster City
districts that are three times its size. Add
to this an administrative staff that has
grown out of proportion with ve central
ofce department heads, and recently the
addition of a well-compensated new posi-
tion called Director of 21st Century
Learning.
Its truly shocking that a small district of
only about 170 teachers employs this
many highly paid administrators. Its pre-
mature to pass Measure R when the district
behaves wastefully with taxpayer money.
Vote no on R, and tell this district to get
its spending under control and to live with-
in its means.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK October, with its his-
tory of big crashes on Wall Street, did-
nt scare off investors this time. To the
contrary, the stock market seemed
unstoppable.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
closed at a record high seven times and
ended the month up 4.5 percent. The
market climbed even after October
began with the 16-day government
shutdown and the threat of a potential-
ly calamitous U.S. default.
The market didnt waver in the face
of the shutdown, said Anton Bayer,
CEO of Up Capital Management, an
investment adviser. That was huge.
After being rattled by a series of
down-to-the-wire budget battles in
recent years, investors have become
inured to the ways of Washington law-
makers. Instead of selling stocks, they
kept their focus on what they say real-
ly matters: the Federal Reserve.
The central bank is buying $85 bil-
lion of bonds every month and keep-
ing its benchmark short-term interest
rate near zero to promote economic
growth. The Fed stimulus has helped
generate a stock market rally that has
been going on since March 2009.
With Octobers gains, the S&P 500
is now up 23.2 percent for the year and
is on track for its best year since 2009.
The Dow Jones industrial average is
18.6 percent higher, and the Nasdaq
composite index is up 29.8 percent.
The S&P 500 has climbed 160 per-
cent since bottoming out at 676.53 in
March 2009 during the Great
Recession.
Some analysts say the precipitous
rise in stocks may now make the mar-
ket vulnerable to a drop.
Because stocks have gone up so
much, people will get nervous about
another big sell-off at some stage,
said David Kelly, chief global strate-
gist at JPMorgan funds.
Some investors will be relieved to
see October behind them. The Stock
Traders Almanac refers to October as
the jinx month because of its
fraught history.
The Dow lost 40 points on Oct.
28, 1929, a day that became known
as Black Monday and heralded the
start of the Depression. Almost 60
years later, on Oct. 19, 1987, the
Dow suffered its biggest percent-
age loss, plunging nearly 23 per-
cent in the second Black Monday.
The index also plummeted 13 per-
cent on Oct. 27, 1997.
There was no such drama on Wall
Street on Thursday. Stocks were most-
ly flat as investors took in disap-
pointing corporate earnings.
The S&P 500 slipped 6.77 points,
or 0.4 percent, to 1,756.54. The Dow
dropped 73.01 points, or 0.5 percent,
to 15,545. The Nasdaq composite fell
10.91 points, or 0.3 percent, to
3,919.71.
Avon slumped $4.90, or 21.9 per-
cent, to $17.50 after the beauty prod-
ucts company reported a third-quarter
loss, reflecting lower sales and
China-related charges. The company
also said the Securities and Exchange
Commission is proposing a much
larger penalty than it expected to set-
tle bribery allegations.
Visa fell $7.15, or 3.5 percent, to
$196.67. Its quarterly profits fell 28
percent as it set aside money for
taxes. Visa also expects a slow recov-
ery for the economy.
Overall, company earnings are beat-
ing the expectations of Wall Street
analysts and lifting stock prices.
Companies are beneting from low
borrowing costs and stable labor
expenses, which are enabling them to
boost earnings even as sales remain
slack.
No October jinx this time for the stock market
Fewer Americans seek
unemployment aid for third week
WASHINGTON The number of
Americans applying for unemployment
benets fell 10,000 last week to a seasonal-
ly adjusted 340,000, a sign that employers
are laying off very few workers.
The Labor Department said Thursday that
the four-week average rose 8,000 to
356,250, the highest since April. The 16-
day partial government shutdown and back-
logs in California due to computer upgrades
inated the average.
Still, a government spokesman said
those unusual factors did not affect last
weeks first-time applications, which
appeared to be free of distortions for the
rst time in two months.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
They have fallen for three straight weeks
and are just above the pre-recession levels
reached in August.
Facebook 3Q results
fly past expectations
NEW YORK Concerns about
Facebooks ability to keep young teens
coming back every day spooked some
investors, even though the companys lat-
est quarterly results showed continued
strength in mobile advertising and beat
Wall Streets expectations on all counts.
Shares of the worlds largest social net-
work spiked then turned lower in after-hours
trading Wednesday evening after its third-
quarter results came out. By midday Thursday,
though, Facebooks stock was trading about
5 percent higher as investors digested the
news. At issue was a remark by Facebook
Inc. nance chief David Ebersman, who said
the company saw a decrease in daily use
among younger teenagers, an important but
ckle demographic.
Exxons 3Q profit falls 18 percent
DALLAS Exxon Mobil Corp. earned
nearly $8 billion in the third quarter, but
that was down 18 percent as the company
made a lot less money rening oil into fuel.
Although Exxon increased oil and gas
production slightly, it wasnt enough to
offset weakness in rening, which also hurt
results at other major oil companies.
Refining margins have collapsed this
year. An easing of transportation bottle-
necks has boosted the price of some North
American crude oil. Meanwhile, gasoline
prices have fallen because of ample supply
and moderate demand.
Exxon, the biggest U.S. oil and gas com-
pany, said Thursday that third-quarter net
income was $7.87 billion, or $1.79 per
share. That compared with $9.57 billion, or
$2.09 per share, a year earlier.

Sequoia (0-3, 3-4) at Sacred
Heart Prep ( 2- 0, 7- 0) , 2: 45
p. m.
The Cherokees were saddled with
a 28-10 loss by Menlo-Atherton
last week. The Gators gobbled
up another opponent, beating
South City 45-10. This is the
rst meeting between these two
programs. Sequoia has now lost
four straight games, averaging
just 11 points per game during its
skid . After averaging 146 yards
passing yards per game through
their first five games, the
Cherokees have passed for a com-
bined 81 yards in their last two
outings. Sequoia was held to a
season low for total offense last
week, finishing with just 164
yards. Sacred Heart Prep scored
40 points or more for the fth time
this season. The Gators had
their second-best passing game of
the season, throwing for 211
yards, completing 11 of 13 pass-
es. RB Ricky Grau, who leads
the Gators in rushing this season,
carried the ball only eight times
last week and gained 96 yards.
Thats more than 22 yards a pop.
The SHP defense has allowed a
total of 41 points through seven
games this season.

p. m.
The Bears buried Sequoia 28-10
last week. The Tigers pulled
away from Menlo School, 44-25.
Terra Nova beat M-A 38-14 in
2012. M-Amanaged to score 28
points last week, despite missing
the services of running back Isiah
Nash. Brian Jaggers picked up
the slack nicely, rushing for 71
yards and a pair of touchdowns on
22 carries. He also came up with a
sack on defense. The M-A
defense has allowed only 44
points in three Bay Division
games thus far. Terra Nova is
widely considered the best public
school team in the Central Coast
Section. The Tigers got a career
game from RB John Wallace, who
rushed for 273 yards and five
touchdowns last week. That per-
formance put him over the 1,000-
yard mark for the year. While
the Terra Nova offense gets most
of the accolades, the defense has
been outstanding this season. The
25 points allowed was the second
most the Tigers have given up this
season, behind the 31 given up to

SAN FRANCISCO All-Pro
49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was
activated to the 53-man roster
from the non-football injury list
Thursday, two days after he turned
himself in to Santa Clara County
authorities as he faces weapons
charges.
One of San Franciscos dynamic
pass rushers appears ready to
return.
Smith had been undergoi ng
rehab at an in-patient facility for
substance abuse since late
September and missed ve games.
With San Francisco (6-2) on its
bye this week, Smith could resume
practicing and working out on his
own, then formally practice next
week ahead of a Nov. 10 home
game against the Carolina
Panthers.
Smith was charged Oct. 9 with
three felony counts of illegal pos-
session of an assault weapon,
stemming from a party at his
home in June 2012.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said
on his weekly radio show with
95.7 The Game that Smith met
with 49ers ofcials Wednesday at
team headquarters. General manag-
er Trent Baalke said last week in
SANTA CLARA The San Jose
Earthquakes of Major League
Soccer will open the San
Francisco 49ers new stadium next
summer.
San Jose will host the rival
Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 2,
2014, for the debut of the $1.2
billion Levis Stadium at 49ers
team headquarters. The venue seats
approximately 68,500. The cur-
rent record for largest attendance
at an Earthquakes game is 73,123.
That was in 1999.
We are proud to open Levis
Stadium against Sounders FC,
said Earthquakes President Dave
Kaval via team press release.
Santa Clara and the 49ers are
great partners and they are con-
structing a world-class venue that
all the Bay Area can be proud of.
We have seen great crowds around
MLS over the past five years,
especially in Seattle, but we are
condent that this match will once
again demonstrate that the Bay
Area has the most passionate soc-
cer fans in the country.

The rst thing you should know
about Fridays football game
between Hillsdale and El Camino
is that the kick off has been
changed to 7 p.m.
And thats important, one, to
get there on time and two, because
no game on the Peninsula Athletic
League docket belongs under the
lights and lure of primetime more
than this Lake Division matchup.
As El Camino head coach Mark
Turner put it, this is the game.
This is pretty much the divisions
championship game.
Turner isnt kidding. The Colts
and Knights know theres much
more at stake than just a single W
today. Simply put, if Hillsdale
wins, theyll be 4-0 in Lake play
with one game to play and all but
lock up a trip to the Central Coast
Section playoffs as the champions
especially if Carlmont helps
them out and takes down the
Kings Academy Friday night.
But if El Camino wins, theyll
be 3-1 with a very winnable game
against Jefferson of Daly City left
on the schedule. The win would
form a potential three-way tie atop
the standings with the Knights
and the Kings Academy. And If
that tie stays all the way through
the seasons end, the Colts own
the tiebreaker by virtue of beating
both teams theyre tied with.
So to recap, yes, Friday nights
primetime showdown is pretty
much for all the division and CCS
marbles. And hence, its the Daily
Journal Game of the Week.
This is a big one, Turner said.
Were looking forward to it.
Weve had a good week of practice
and were ready to go.
Its all weve been talking
about this week, said Hillsdale
head coach Mike Parodi. Its
another step in the process. Weve
been talking about winning a
league title as our ultimate goal all
year long. Thats the big picture.
But also, were taking it one week
at a time. What are we going to do
this week to be plus-1? Our mis-
sion this week is to be just a little
bit better than El Camino.
Hillsdale has carried this philos-
ophy throughout the season
with Parodi drilling into this play-
ers the idea that every game, no
matter whos on the other sideline,
is a championship game.
And thats not going to
change, Parodi said about
Fridays game against El Camino.
We truly keep it day to day, week
to week. On Monday, its how are
we going to be better today. On

M-A Bears power past Carlmont
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The Pauli King attack is back.
Its been a tall order for Menlo-
Atherton (10-2, 18-8) to eld its two
lethal hitters at the same time this sea-
son. With King having been sidelined
with a shoulder injury for two weeks,
and Devin Joos sitting out the rst
half of the season as a transfer student,
the power tandem has played together
in just four league games this season.
The duo seems to be dialing it in at
the right time though, and turned in a
dominant effort Thursday, disposing
of Carlmont (9-3, 19-10) in four sets
25-21, 25-16, 29-31, 25-22.
But dont overlook Menlo-
Athertons unsung heroine, senior
libero Virginia Lane. Believe it or not,
among the depth of Menlo-Atherton
weapons, shes the one to whom
opposing offenses generally want to
hit the ball. Unfortunately for oppos-
ing teams, Lane happens to be one of
the best liberos in the Peninsula
Athletic League.
I think shes denitely up there at
the best, King said. She has so much
energy and is a big leader on our
team. She is just so consistent, and
shes a big reason why we won today.
With Joos tabbing a match-high 30
kills, and King totaling 22 kills, it
was Lanes smooth passing that
allowed the Bears to succeed with a
new lineup. For the rst time since
King returned from injury on Oct. 17,
she and Joos ip-opped in rotation.
The change stacked Joos at the top of
the rotation to get an extra turn at the
net, with King anchoring the back
row.
And while King was stellar on
defense as well she had several div-
ing saves in the rst two sets Lane
provided her usual smooth and awless
digs to contain Carlmonts deep
attack.
We basically give her half the
court, Menlo-Atherton head coach
Ron Whitmill said. We give her a big
piece of real estate and she does a great
job.
With Menlo-Atherton jumping out
to a two-set lead, Carlmont battled
long and hard for a win in Game 3. The
Scots held an 18-10 lead in the set, but
the Bears rallied back to tie it 24-24.
M-A held the advantage through most
of overtime play, until a block-kill by
junior Sabrina Miller nally swayed
game-point to the Scots advantage.
An unforced error by Menlo-Atherton
on the ensuing rally gave Carlmont its
lone victory of the match.
Miller emerged with the best game
of her varsity career, tabbing a team-
high 15 kills and 11 blocks. The rest
of the Scots front row turned in solid
performances as well, with sophomore
Alexis Morrow totaling 11 kills and
six blocks, and senior Charlotte
Jackman tabbing 11 kills and four
blocks. Senior hitter Ella McDonough
had 12 kills.
We know they have a good
defense, King said. They are a great
team and they are going to be red up.
But we just kept at it and kept a posi-
tive attitude which has been one of
our main focuses this season.
Menlo-Atherton bounced back in
Game 4, going on a 5-0 run to open
the set behind the serving prowess of
Joos. The junior scored eight service
points in the set.
Carlmont head coach Chris Crader
praised M-As offensive prowess.
We dont have the repower they
do, so we have to be clean in every
facet of the game, Crader said. Today
we just werent clean enough.
Menlo-Atherton is now in sole pos-
session of second place in the Bay
Division. Carlmont falls to third place
having lost two in row, and will look
to rebound next week against San
Mateo and South City.
Weve just got to keep pushing and
weve got to nd the heart, Miller
said.
Other Bay results
Burlingame (7-5, 18-10) downed
Hillsdale 25-15, 25-21, 18-25, 25-
19. Burlingames Dana Williams had
10 kills and five blocks, Tatum
Novitzky had eight kills and two
blocks, and Isabell Walker had 45
assists and three blocks.
Ocean Division results
Mills swept Half Moon Bay (5-7,
10-16) 25-12, 25-13, 25-15.
Hailey Merkes paced Half Moon Bay
with six kills, while Amy Francis con-
tributed ve kills. Alix Lemke tabbed
three blocks, and Dayna Serxner had
15 digs.
Sequoia (11-1, 22-7) swept
Capuchino 25-10 25-8 25-18. Joy
Robinson paced the Cherokees with
11 kills, while junior Angela Hudelson
and Leanne Robinson notched 10 kills
apiece. Hudelson also had three aces
and 15 assists. Sequoia goes up
against Mercy-Burlingame today in
non-league play.
Terra Nova (11-1, 21-7) downed
Westmoor (8-4, 18-16) 17-25, 25-
19, 25-6, 25-21. Westmoor sopho-
more Christy Tam and senior Marinel
Alcantara had a team-high 10 kills
apiece. Senior Serena Chew had ve
blocks.
LOS ANGELES Chris Paul scored 42 points and had
three of his 15 assists on consecutive alley-oop dunks by
Blake Grifn during a 30-second span of the third quarter,
leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a 126-115 victory over
Golden State in their home opener on Thursday night.
The Clippers, who won the franchises rst division title
last season with a club-record 56 wins, began their 30th
season in Los Angeles on Tuesday night with a 116-103
loss to the Lakers the designated home team in the arena
they are sharing for the 15th season.
This is the rst season in which the Lakers champi-
onship banners and retired numbers will be covered up dur-
ing Clippers home games by banners depicting some of
their players in action an innovation by new head coach
Doc Rivers.
Five Clippers scored in double gures. Grifn had 23
points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 3:53
remaining. Reserve Jamal Crawford added 17 points and
DeAndre Jordan had 17 rebounds and nine points.
Golden States Stephen Curry, who set an NBA single-
season record with 272 3-pointers last season made nine 3s
against the Clippers and nished with 39 points and nine
assists. David Lee scored 22 points before fouling out with
4:10 to play, and center Andrew Bogut had 17 points.
Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who had a career-high 38
points on 15-for-19 shooting in a 125-94 rout of the
Lakers, did not attempt a eld goal against the Clippers
until he was awarded a basket on a goaltending call against
Jordan with 5:04 left in the half. Thompson nished with
10 points.
Trailing by as many as 19 points, the Warriors sliced the
decit to 110-102 on a four-point play by Curry, who was
fouled by Jared Dudley on his fourth 3-pointer of the fourth
quarter with 6:05 remaining. But they never got closer as
the Clippers responded with a 10-5 run capped by newcom-
er J.J. Redicks 3-pointer with 3:12 left.
Lee committed his fth foul with 6:38 left in the third
quarter and went to the bench with the Warriors trailing 77-
67. Paul and Grifn then worked the sellout crowd of
19,060 into a frenzy with their sudden reprise of Lob
City, helping the Clippers pull away to an 88-70 lead with
4:31 left in the quarter.
Once one of college basketballs
best conferences, the Pac-12 hasnt
gotten a whole lot of respect the past
few years.
That could change this season.
With some of the best teams in the
country near the top and more talent
across the conference, the Pac-12
appears to be on the rise again.
We have never had more depth than
we have this year as a conference,
Arizona coach Sean Miller said. I
think that some of the teams that have
been at the bottom are much, much
improved. As a matter of fact, they
might even be near the top.
The Pac-12 has not had much luck
with the NCAA tournament selection
committee in recent years, getting just
two teams into the bracket twice the
past four seasons. Washington was
left out in 2012 despite winning the
regular-season conference title and
Oregon felt slighted last season when
it was a No. 12 seed despite winning
the conference tournament.
This season should be different.
No. 6 Arizona is the favorite to win
the title and make a deep NCAA run,
adding freshman phenom Aaron
Gordon and veteran point guard T. J.
McConnell to a group of returning
players who went to the Sweet 16 last
season.

The Hall of Fame quarterback on
Wednesday pitched to Santa Clara city coun-
cilmembers his proposed four-star hotel,
upscale restaurant and sports bar that he
originally wanted to open when the 49ers
move to Levis Stadium in August 2014.
The San Jose Mercury News
(http://bit.ly/16pd5ac ) reports that
Montana now hopes the proposed $400
million complex will be open in time for
Super Bowl 50 in February 2016.
The city asked Montanas development
company to delay its application in July so
they could work with another developer,
Related California, to make sure both devel-
opment plans near the stadium were in
synch before the council would decide
whether to move forward.
Last week, both developers revealed their
vision for both a $400 million Centennial
Gateway involving the Montana Property
Group and Related Californias larger $1.5
billion proposal dubbed City Place Santa
Clara.
Montanas proposed project would also
include ofce and entertainment space on
9.5 acres of city-owned property located
across the street from the stadium site.
Retail Californias plan is build a larger cen-
ter that includes a hotel, retail, entertain-
ment and ofce space on 215 acres thats
currently the Santa Clara Golf & Tennis
Club and a motocross track.
Montana told the councilmembers they
have been ready for a long time to take the
next step.
Since then, weve spent many, many
hours and many, many dollars meeting with
Related to build our site plans together,
Montana said. Im here to say were ready
to go.

London that Smith would have to show
progress to play again this year.
Smith will be due in court twice Nov.
12 and Nov. 19 to face DUI and weapons
charges.
The 24-year-old Smith had been on what
the team called an indefinite leave of
absence from the NFC champion Niners.
Smiths agent didnt immediately return
requests for comment Thursday.
Harbaugh traded text messages with
Smith when he was gone, and the coach said
on the radio hes made quite a bit of
progress.
While Smith is likely to face a suspen-
sion from the NFL, the league typically
waits until all legal issues are resolved
before handing down its own discipline.
Also in September, Smith and former
teammate Delanie Walker were named in a
lawsuit led in Santa Clara County Superior
Court by a Northern California man who
said he was shot at a party at Smiths house
on June 29, 2012.
The players charged a $10 admission and
$5 per drink, the lawsuit said. Smith and
now-Titans tight end Walker, 29, were
allegedly intoxicated on Smiths balcony
when they red gunshots in the air while
trying to end the party, the lawsuit said.
Before the 2012 home opener last
September, Smith was the passenger in a car
during an accident in Santa Clara County in
which the driver swerved to avoid hitting a
deer. Smith sustained a cut beneath his right
eyebrow. He apologized and insisted he
would change his ways.
Smith, selected seventh overall in the
2011 draft out of Missouri, had previously
been arrested on suspicion of DUI in
January 2012 in Miami shortly after the
49ers lost in the NFC championship game.
There was no NFL minimum for the num-
ber of games he had to miss while on the
non-football injury list. The 49ers contin-
ued to pay Smith his weekly salary of more
than $98,000 while he was away.
Smith played in a 27-7 home loss to the
Colts on Sept. 22 and had ve tackles just
two days after he was arrested and jailed on
suspicion of DUI and marijuana possession.
Smith apologized for his behavior after the
game then later announced he would leave
for treatment.
Smith set a franchise record with 19 1/2
sacks last season.

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Defensive coordinator
Jason Tarvers contributions to the Oakland
Raiders this season are much bigger than
that obscene gesture at the ofcials that got
him into so much hot water.
Tarver has overseen a remarkable
improvement on the defense while incorpo-
rating 10 new starters who mostly came in
with little fanfare.
The Raiders went browsing through the
bargain basement to bring in many of the
newcomers, signing ve free agents to one-
year deals.
Only the addition of Charles Woodson
generated much interest while players like
cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Tracy Porter,
linebackers Nick Roach and Kevin Burnett
and defensive linemen Pat Sims, Vance
Walker and Jason Hunter were under-the-
radar additions.
Probably a lot of people outside of this
area, outside of this building probably dont
know a lot about who these no-name guys
are on defense but we have a lot of guys who
are pretty good football players, coach
Dennis Allen said. I think a lot of these
guys that we brought in here kind of have a
little bit of a chip on
their shoulders. They
want to prove that
theyre worthy of being
top-notch players in this
league.
The man putting all
those parts together is
Tarver, who has a mas-
ters degree in biochem-
istry and molecular biol-
ogy and boundless ener-
gy that comes through on the sideline and
in the meeting rooms.
That gave him some unwanted notoriety
last week against Pittsburgh. In the third
quarter, an ofcial threw a ag on Jenkins
for an illegal hit to the head of a defenseless
receiver.
The call set Tarver off and he was caught
by television cameras screaming an
obscenity at the ofcials and twice making
the one-ngered gesture. He was forced to
apologize the following day and was disci-
plined by the team.
Everybody around here, we love it,
Jenkins said. It shows that he has a lot of
passion for the game. Hes just into the
game. We feed off that, knowing he has our
back.
Tarver has nothing to apologize for when
it comes to how well his defense is playing.
The performance is quite a surprise consider-
ing how overmatched that unit looked in the
preseason when the Raiders allowed the
opposition to score on 16 of 18 rst-half
drives, excluding one kneel-down posses-
sion.
It looked like it would be more of the same
when Indianapolis scored touchdowns on
the rst two drives of the season opener, but
Oaklands defense has been extremely stout
since then, with the exception of one game
against Peyton Manning and the high-pow-
ered Broncos.
The Raiders are allowing 21.4 points per
game down more than six points from
last years average of 27.7 that was the
worst for the franchise since 1961.
Weve been good at times, but weve got
to be good all the time, Tarver said. You
turn bad into good, good into great. Thats
what were trying to do.
The strength of the defense has been stop-
ping the run and rushing the passer. Aleaky
run defense had been a constant in Oakland
during a 10-year run without a playoff berth
as no other defense allowed more yards rush-
ing or more touchdowns on the ground dur-
ing that span.
This year Oakland ranks sixth in the
league in rushing defense at 89.9 yards per
game, fourth with 3.6 yards per carry and is
the only team not to allow a run of at least
20 yards so far this season.
They have held three opponents under 40
yards rushing after doing that just four times
the past 10 seasons.
The focus on stopping the run has com-
plemented a pass rush that has 21 sacks
through seven games matching the
teams total through 14 games a year ago.
With an improved secondary that allows for
more man coverage, the Raiders are blitzing
35 percent more this year than they did in
Tarvers rst year as coordinator, according
to STATS LLC.
That has led to 14 players getting credit
for sacks so far, making it especially dif-
cult for opposing teams to know where
exactly to focus their protection.
Tarver brings energy, passion to Raiders defense

St. Ignatius. The Tiger shut out
Menlo in the second half last week.
Ocean Division
Woodsi de (2-1, 2-5) at San
Mat eo ( 2- 0, 4- 3) , 2: 45 p. m.
The Wildcats were declawed by
Aragon last week, 27-12. The
Bearcats beat Capuchino, 34-21.
The last time these two teams faced
each other was 2010, with Woodside
coming away with a 24-6 victory.
After winning its two previous games
by a combined score of 100-51,
Woodside was brought back to earth
by Aragon last week. The Wildcats
managed only 152 yards of total
offense 135 yards passing and just
17 yards rushing on 16 carries. A
win by San Mateo would keep alive its
hopes of winning the Ocean Division
title. The Bearcats were without RB
Line Latu for the second straight week,
and for the second straight week they
had someone pick up the slack. Two
weeks ago it was Finau Hafoka. Last
week, it was Watson Filikitonga who
got loose. He rushed for 180 yards and
two touchdowns on 18 carries. San
Mateo trailed Capuchino 21-20 last
week, before outscoring the Mustangs
14-0 in the second half.
Lake Division
Carl mont (1-2, 3-4) at Ki ngs
Academy (1-1, 3-4), 7 p. m.
The Scots picked up their rst Lake
Division win, beating Jefferson 36-
20. The Knights were knocked off
by El Camino, 42-20. This is the
rst meeting between these teams.
Carlmont nally got untracked last
week, scoring a season-high 36
points. Sami Makaa, a sophomore
making his varsity debut, scored a pair
of touchdowns for the Scots on runs of
55 and 26 yards. Kings Academy
still has an outside shot of winning
the Lake Division title. The Knights
need to win their final two league
games to do so and get some help.
In two league games, Kings Academy
has scored a total of 39 points.
WCAL
Serra (4-0, 6-1) at St. Francis
( 2- 2, 5- 2) , 7: 30 p. m.
The Padres got past St. Ignatius 31-
24 last week. The Lancers suffered a
heartbreaking 13-12 loss to Mitty.
St. Francis shut out Serra 24-0 in
2012. Serra racked up 384 yards of
total offense in its win last week.
Serra led 21-3 at halftime, but were
outscored by the Wildcats 21-10 in the
second half. Kava Cassidy paced
the Padres ground attack with 129
yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.
Serra continues to get the most out
of its passing game. Despite throwing
just 15 times and completing eight,
the Padres averaged 19 yards per catch.
St. Francis is averaging 265 yards
of offense per game 204 of it com-
ing on the ground. The Lancers won
their rst four games, but are 1-2 over
their last three. In its two losses,
St. Francis averaged 13 points. In
their ve wins, the Lancers averaged
30.4. Defensively, St. Francis is
allowing an average of 9.5 points per
game.
Bay Division
Menl o School ( 1- 1, 5- 2) at
South Ci ty (0-3, 2-5), 7 p. m.
The Knights wore down in a 44-25
loss to Terra Nova last week. The
Warriors were whacked 45-10 by
Sacred Heart Prep. South City
drilled Menlo last season, 41-21.
Menlo was shut out in the second half
for the rst time last week. QB Jack
Heneghan had a monster game, throw-
ing for 498 yards as he attempted 62
passes. The Knights had three
receivers gain more than 100 yards.
South Citys losing streak has now
reached ve straight. During their
skid, the Warriors have scored a com-
bined 43 points. In three Bay
Division games, South City is allow-
ing an average of 41.6 point per game.
Ocean Division
Capuchi no ( 0- 3, 1- 6) at
Burl i ngame (2-0, 7-0), 7 p. m.
The Mustangs were manhandled in the
second half in a 34-21 loss to San
Mateo last week. The Panthers pul-
verized Half Moon Bay, 49-14.
Burlingame held off Capuchino last
year, 44-35. Capuchino has now
lost four games in a row. In three
Ocean Division games, the Mustangs
have scored a combined 43 points.
Burlingame eclipsed the 40-point bar-
rier for the sixth time in seven games
last week. The Panthers 313 yards
rushing last week were the second
most for them this season, behind the
348 in a 51-0 win over South City in
Week 3. QB Avery Gindraux contin-
ues to be one of the most efcient
passers in the PAL. Last week, he com-
pleted 8 of 12 for 104 yards. He is
completing 60 percent of his passes
this season. The Burlingame
defense continues to be nails. It has
allowed a total of 49 points in seven
games this season.
Aragon (2-1, 5-2) at Hal f Moon
Bay ( 0- 3, 1- 6) , 7 p. m.
The Dons dominated Woodside last
week, 27-12. The Cougars were
cuffed by Burlingame, 49-14. The
last time these two teams met was
2011, when Half Moon Bay blocked a
game-winning field goal try by
Aragon, to preserve a 21-20 win and
capture the Ocean Division champi-
onship. Aragon is 2-2 in its last
four games. The Dons have the sec-
ond-best offense and defense in the
Ocean Division, behind Burlingame.
The Dons are scoring an average of 31
points this season, while allowing
just over 16. Half Moon Bay has
lost four straight. The Cougars have
given up 40 points or more in four of
their six losses. The 14 points
scored was Half Moon Bays lowest
output since the start of Ocean
Division play.
Lake Division
Jefferson (0-2, 0-7) at Mi l l s (1-
2, 4- 3) , 7 p. m.
The Indians endured a 36-20 loss to
Carlmont last week. The Vikings
were vanquished by Hillsdale, 27-7.
Jefferson had its best showing of the
season. Not only were the 20 points
the second most the Indians have
scored this year, they led Carlmont 7-0
and 14-7 but, in the end, could not
hang on. Aweek after the Jefferson
defense posted a season-low 49 points
allowed, the Indians were even better
against Carlmont. The 36 points
allowed is a new season low for
Jefferson. Mills continues to strug-
gle offensively. In three Lake
Division games, the Vikings have
scored a combined 36 points. The
seven points scored last week were a
season low for the Vikings.
BEST
The Rest
GAME
Tuesday, its how are we going to get better this day. Weve
challenged the kids (for this game). The schemes are going
to be important [Friday night] but this truly is an athletes
game. And they love it. This is your chance to go out and
prove youre a better athlete and do what you need to do to
win this game.
Parodi added that, by now, the Knights and Colts know
exactly whats coming schematically. In Hillsdale, you
have a team that loves to spread out a defense and wear you
out that way. And in El Camino, you have one of the more
physical teams, not just in the Lake, but the entire PAL. So
with the guessing games aside, the best players will shine
Friday night.
Theyre physical, theyre fast, theyre athletic, Parodi
said. They denitely have the best athletes in the Lake
year in and year out. And they have great coaching on top
of that. When you put that together, thats a tough combi-
nation to combat.
But Hillsdale is no slouch in that department either.
Especially not this year with the emergence of Giancarlo
Boscacci, the superstar running back who has come up huge
during games against Lake contenders like Carlmont and
Mills. Not only can the Knights throw it, but with a back
like Boscacci, they can turn you on the ground as well.
We just have to take of business, Turner said. On
defense, its about playing fundamentally sound. Hillsdale
loves to put pressure on you, spread you out, so you de-
nitely have to out there and pretty much cover 53 guys. And
you have to be to run with them and minimize the big plays
that youre going to give up.
After Week 1, Turner admits his players were a dejected
after a loss to Mills.
It was like, holy smokes, Turner said. It was a shock to
us that we didnt play very well. But I always felt like, in the
back of my mind, if we played well and took care of busi-
ness, that wed be in it and get to play in the championship
game. It took the wind out of our sails, but Im really proud
of the way our guys fought back. And guess what? We have
an opportunity to get back into the race and be where we
want to be.
Sports brief
Dolphins beat Bengals 22-20 on OT safety
MIAMI GARDENS Cameron Wake sacked Andy Dalton
for a safety with 6:38 left in overtime, and the Miami
Dolphins beat the Cincinnati Bengals 22-20 on Thursday
night.
On third-and-10 from the 8, Dalton retreated to the goal
line and was tackled by Wake coming up the middle for the
third overtime safety in NFL history. The ofcials immedi-
ately signaled the score, which was upheld following a
replay review.
Wake had three sacks, and Cincinnati committed four
turnovers that might have meant a difference of 17 points.
The Dolphins (4-4) snapped a four-game losing streak,
winning for the rst time since their 3-0 start. The Bengals
(6-3) had a four-game winning streak snapped but still
enjoy a two-game lead in the AFC North.
Mike Nugent kicked a 54-yard eld goal with 1:24
remaining in regulation to put the Bengals ahead, but
Miami answered with a 50-yard drive, and Caleb Sturgi s
made a 44-yard eld goal with 11 seconds left to force over-
time.
Brent Grimes returned an interception 94 yards for a
touchdown to put the Dolphins up 17-3 midway through
the third quarter, but they squandered a two-touchdown sec-
ond-half lead for the second time in ve days. On Sunday in
a loss at New England, they were outscored 24-0 in the nal
24 minutes.
Cincinnatis Giovani Bernard scored on an electrifying
tying 35-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that cov-
ered perhaps twice that much ground.

Montgomery is getting rather used
to losing his leading scorer, then
nding a reliable replacement or
two to carry the load as California
continues winning year after year.
This time around, the Golden
Bears lost Pac-12 Player of the
Year Allen Crabbe, who is now
playing for the Portland Trail
Blazers.
I think that replacing Allen is
always going to be a tough thing
to do, senior point guard Justin
Cobbs said.
With added depth in the back-
court to complement Cobbs,
Montgomery is condent Cal will
have a more balanced offensive
attack as it looks to return to the
NCAAtournament. The Bears have
played in the NCAAs in three of
the past four seasons but havent
advanced to the round of 16.
Weve got a good group of
kids, said Montgomery, begin-
ning his sixth season as coach.
Those guys should be able to
make up for the loss of Allen.
Cal has rebuilt after losing a star
player before. The Bears had three
of the past four conference players
of the year, with Crabbe following
Jerome Randle in 2010 and Jorge
Gutierrez in 2012.
Here some things to know about
California, which tied for second
place in the conference in 2012-
13, going into this season:
HEALTHY COBBS: Cobbs is
nearly back to full strength from a
right foot injury that required sur-
gery in August. Cals dynamic
point guard and leading returning
scorer averaged 15.1 points and
his 4.8 assists ranked fourth in the
Pac-12. We probably need to cau-
tion ourselves to not let him get
fatigued and have something hap-
pen as a result, Montgomery
said. Cobbs will have help from
sophomore guard Tyrone Wallace
and freshman Jordan Mathews
not to mention freshman sensa-
tion Jabari Bird. We have a lot
more depth at the guard position
than we did last year, so this year
guys can come out of the game and
replace other guys and theres no
drop off, Cobbs said.
BIRD WATCHING: For a pro-
gram that has boasted superstar
names such as Jason Kidd and
Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Bird is cer-
tainly bringing some attention
with him to campus. Ahighly tout-
ed 6-foot-6 freshman guard from
nearby Richmonds Salesian
High, Bird is among the top
recruits in the country and will
make an immediate impact. Bird is
an accurate shooter but he also will
look to get to the basket to create
plays. And Montgomery wants
Cobbs to take charge and make
sure the Bears are best using Bird
to his strengths at this early stage.
I am always leery about the atten-
tion that freshmen get, because I
think that the adjustment of a
freshman coming into a successful
college program is always a little
bit difcult, Montgomery said.
Hes a terric kid, very talented,
probably the most high-profile
freshman that we have ever had
since Ive been at California. And
hes going to be a great player. So
what I want to do is make sure that
were not pushing him to try to do
things that hes not comfortable
with. I want him to learn the game,
because I think hes got a great
future.
SOLOMON SHOULDERS
THE LOAD: Richard Solomon
must take on a larger load in his
senior season considering Cals
lack of experience in the post. The
6-foot-10, 235-pound Solomon
will be called upon to pound the
paint with larger big men around
the Pac-12.
He averaged 7.0 points and 5.7
rebounds last season. Richard
should be improved,
Montgomery said.
Cal looks to return to NCAA tourney
By Janie McCauley
STANFORD Dwight Powell is
playing for his future. Johnny
Dawkins is coaching for his.
While Powell put off turning pro
to stick around Stanford for his
senior season on a veteran team,
Dawkins realizes the pressure to
win now with his job depending on
it.
Athletic director Bernard Muir
has made it clear he expects the
Cardinal to reach the NCAAtourna-
ment, something that hasnt hap-
pened during Dawkins rst ve
years on the job.
Its a make-or-break year for
Dawkins, who scheduled a tough
preseason that features consecu-
tive games next month at
Connecticut then home against
Michigan three days later.
And Stanford certainly believes
it will be playing in the top-tier
tournament come March, with its
top four scorers returning and all
but two players from last seasons
team that reached the second round
of the NIT.
Absolutely, I think for this year
to be a success for our group we
should make the tournament,
Dawkins said. We have the experi-
ence, and our kids have been
through a lot. I think part of that
adversity is what helps you. Its
what you do with it. So our guys
realize that this is a special year.
We have ve seniors, and so wed
like to see these guys leave their
legacy. And so that would be a fair
statement. I think that its an
attainable goal.
Here are some things to know
about the Cardinal this season:
POWELLS RETURN: Powell, a
6-foot-10 forward, opted to stay in
school to get his degree and further
develop his game. Powell was a
first-team Pac-12 selection last
season and earned the conferences
most improved player honor. He
averaged 14.9 points and 8.4
rebounds per game and was the
only player in the conference to
rank in the top 10 in both cate-
gories. It feels great to feel my
class welcome me back. Coming in
with them, we had a lot of goals of
things we wanted to achieve and we
needed to achieve to deem our
career as collegiate athletes suc-
cessful, Powell said. And not all
of those things have been accom-
plished yet. Coming back, for me,
it was extremely important.
NAVY SEALS TRAINING:
Stanford spent six hours on one
September day training with Navy
SEALs on the ground, in the
pool, in sand, crawling along the
grass on their bellies. The Cardinal
did basic boot camp drills, fol-
lowed commands, learned proper
techniques for standing, turning
and crawling in a team-building
outing. It was a challenge that
maybe not all of us thought we
could get through, but we did. And
we did so as a team, Powell said.
Also just teaching us that level of
discipline and commitment that
those guys have to get the job that
they have to get done. And with no
excuses. We can take away a lot
from that going into our season.
We got a lot out of it.
EXPERIENCE FACTOR: No
arguing Stanford is among the
most experienced, not to mention
deep, teams in the Pac-12. With its
starting lineup nearly intact aside
from the injured Andy Brown,
Stanford is prepared for a challeng-
ing non-conference schedule that it
hopes will set the Cardinal up for
an improved conference slate.
We scheduled based on the fact
that we had a lot of experience
returning, Dawkins said. I
thought it was the appropriate
schedule for our guys to compete
against. When conference play
starts, well all be 0-0 and well all
be competing heavily for a Pac-12
title.
The pressure is on Stanford basketball

2014 Silverado: Chevys new truck is refined
By Ann M. Job
Dont let appearances fool you.
While Chevrolets 2014 Silverado looks a lot like its
predecessor on the outside, major changes give the new
Silverado better ride and handling, improved safety and a
more luxurious, quiet interior with features that rival some
ofces.
As an example, a modern strip of outlets to accommo-
date three ash drives, two 12-volt power outlets for cell-
phones and other plug-ins and one regular 110-volt electric
plug opening can sit ready for work at the lower part of
the trucks center dashboard.
Abigger-than-before, colorful 8-inch display screen with
efcient touchscreen controls for Pandora Internet radio and
navigation system is available, too. So are heated and
cooled front seats that work fast, a heated steering wheel,
new, rich-looking, leather-trimmed seats and a dashboard
that can be covered with material and stitching as if it were
lifted from a luxury car.
Best of all, standard, scheduled maintenance is free for
two years/24,000 miles, and the 2014 Silverado Crew Cab
earned ve out of ve stars for passenger protection in
frontal and side crash tests.
Fuel economy ratings are noteworthy, too.
With the old, 195-horsepower V-6 gone, the 2014
Silverado with base, 285-horseower V-6, automatic trans-
mission and two-wheel drive is rated by the federal govern-
ment at 18 miles per gallon in city driving and 24 mpg on
the highway.
This compares with the top full-size truck mileage rating
of 18/25-mpg rating for the 2014 Dodge Ram HFE model
with 305-horsepower V-6, automatic transmission and two-
wheel drive.
And if buyers prefer a V-8, the Silverado has the best gov-
ernment mileage rating of any full-size V-8 truck: 16/23
mpg with the Silverados new, 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter,
overhead valve V-8 with direct injection and Active Fuel
Management system. This management system automati-
cally disables engine cylinders during travel when they are
not needed.
Unfortunately, the test truck with this powerplant did not
achieve the government numbers, averaging 14.9 mpg on
mostly city and country roads.
See CHEVROLET, Page 17
The lowest starting retail price for a 2014 Silverado with a V-8 is $27,765, and this is for a regular cab, two-wheel drive model
with 355-horsepower V-8 and automatic transmission.The lowest starting price for a 2014 Silverado with V-8 and four-wheel
drive is $31,705.

Based on the Chevrolet consumer website which still
prices 2013 Silverados, base pricing is up some $2,000
from the $24,585 starting retail price for a 2013 model.
Specically, starting retail price is $26,670 for a base,
2014 Silverado 1500 Regular Cab with standard pickup bed,
two-wheel drive and base, 285-horsepower V-6 and automat-
ic transmission.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including
destination charge, for a base, 2014 Silverado 1500 with
four-wheel drive is $30,610. This is a Regular Cab model
with two-wheel drive and V-6.
The lowest starting retail price for a 2014 Silverado with
a V-8 is $27,765, and this is for a Regular Cab, two-wheel
drive model with 355-horsepower V-8 and automatic trans-
mission. The lowest starting price for a 2014 Silverado
with V-8 and four-wheel drive is $31,705.
The competing 2014 Ram 1500 starts at $25,295 for a
base, Regular Cab, two-wheel drive model with 305-horse-
power V-6 and automatic transmission.
The base, 2014 Ford F-150 Regular Cab with two-wheel
drive, 302-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-6 and automat-
ic transmission starts at $25,310.
Crew cabs, which are pickups that include full-size back
doors and back seats, today account for more than half of all
U.S. pickups sold, according to Chevrolet ofcials. Many
truck buyers now use their vehicles for both work and fami-
ly needs.
So, its important to point out the 2014 Silverado Crew
Cab, which was the test truck, has a full 40.9 inches of
back-seat legroom plus 40.5 inches of rear-seat headroom
and felt spacious. But this is less than the 43.5 inches of
rear-seat legroom and 41 inches of rear-seat headroom in the
F-150 Super Crew.
The test Silverado, which stretched some 19 feet in over-
all length, impressed with its condence-inspiring, assist-
ed rack-and-pinion steering and pleasant handling in turns
and curves.
Sure, passengers noticed weight shifting from one side to
the other of this truck, and there was some head toss in long
sweeping curves. But the test Silverado Crew Cab with Z71
off-road suspension handled overall like a smaller vehicle,
braked strongly and moved abruptly around obstacles with
composure.
There was some bounciness to the ride as expected in a
truck with solid rear axle and multileaf springs. But the ride
was not jarring and most road bumps were well-managed. On
a dirt trail, the test Silverado moved over dirt humps and
into and out of potholes capably, and four-wheel drive didnt
seem to be necessary.
All passengers liked the above-it-all views from their
seats and ample headroom. Front seats were generous in
width and comfortable.
People familiar with older Silverados liked the modern-
ized dashboard.
The interior was noticeably quiet, which made for normal-
voice conversations.
The 2014 Silverado has a straightforward offering of
engines the naturally aspirated V-6, the fuel-conscious V-
8 that has the EcoTec3 label rather than last years Vortec,
and a new 6.2-liter V-8.
People looking for something different can nd a tur-
bocharged V-6 in Fords F-150 and a fuel-sipping diesel V-6
coming for the Ram.
The test Silverado accelerated strongly off the line, and
torque of 383 foot-pounds came at 4,100 rpm.
Pluses: Engine sounds were pitch perfect for a truck this
big. Storage includes two gloveboxes and a deep and roomy,
covered center console. Maximum towing capacity for a
light-duty Silverado is 12,000 pounds.

WASHINGTON In some ways, comput-
ers make ideal drivers: They dont drink and
then climb behind the wheel. They dont do
drugs, get distracted, fall asleep, run red
lights or tailgate. And their reaction times
are quicker.
They do such a good job, in fact, that a
new study says self-driving cars and trucks
hold the potential to transform driving by
eliminating the majority of trafc deaths,
signicantly reducing congestion and pro-
viding tens of billions of dollars in eco-
nomic benet s.
But signicant hurdles to widespread use
of self-driving cars remain, the most
important of which is likely to be cost.
Added sensors, software, engineering and
power and computing requirements current-
ly tally over $100,000 per vehicle, clearly
unaffordable for most people, the study
said. But large-scale production promises
greater affordability over time, it conclud-
ed.
Questions also remain about public
acceptance, liability in event of an acci-
dent, and the ability of automakers to pre-
vent car computers from being hacked.
Nevertheless, the advantages of self-
driving cars are such that if only 10 percent
of cars and trucks on the road were self-driv-
ing, they could reduce traffic deaths by
1,000 per year and produce nearly $38 bil-
lion in economic and other savings, said
the study by the Eno Center for
Transportation, a foundation dedicated to
improving transportation.
If 90 percent of vehicles were self-driv-
ing, as many as 21,700 lives per year could
be saved, and economic and other benet s
could reach a staggering $447 billion, said
the study, a copy of which was provided to
The Associated Press.
There will be many steps before we get
to that, but it does feel like there is a whole
new world that completely changes every-
thing in terms of our perspective on driv-
ing that could emerge eventually, said
Joshua Schank, Enos president and CEO.
For example, the passenger compartment
may be transformed as former drivers safely
work on laptops, eat meals, read books,
watch movies and call friends. And cars that
can be programmed to pick up people, drive
them to their destination and then park by
themselves may change the lives of the eld-
erly and disabled by providing critical
mobility.
Once a critical mass of self-driving cars
is on the road, they can start platooning
driving closely together but keeping a
steady distance between each other without
the fuel-burning, time-wasting, stop-and-
go typical of trafc congestion. That could
smooth trafc ows, reduce commute times
and increase highway capacity.
Government research indicates driver
error is likely the main reason behind over
90 percent of all crashes. Over 40 percent
of fatal trafc crashes involve alcohol, dis-
traction, drugs or fatigue. But self-driven
vehicles wouldnt fall prey to such human
failings, suggesting the potential for at
least a 40 percent reduction in fatal crash-
es, the study said.
Crashes can also be due to speeding,
aggressive driving, over-compensation,
inexperience, slow reaction times, inatten-
tion and various other human driver short-
comings, the report noted, suggesting that
computers could also reduce those.
But Clarence Ditlow, executive director
of the consumer advocacy group Center for
Auto Safety, cautioned that while self-driv-
ing cars hold great promise for reducing
accidents caused by driver error, much will
depend upon the safety standards the gov-
ernment sets for the vehicles and how well
manufacturers make them.
Otherwise, he said, you could be substi-
tuting computer errors for human errors.
Spurred by what some see as the future
direction of the auto industry, carmakers are
stepping up their research.

Despite signicant obstacles, two gay
men fall in love and manage to stay togeth-
er for some ve years before a crisis inter-
venes.
In Geoffrey Nauffts Next Fall, present-
ed by San Jose Repertory Theatre, one
obstacle is that the 40ish Adam (Danny
Scheie) is about 20 years older than Luke
(Adam Shonkwiler).
Agreater obstacle is that Adam is a non-
believer while Luke is a fundamentalist
Christian. The age difference results mainly
in lighthearted teasing, but the religious
difference is tougher.
Theres one more problem: Luke hasnt
come out to his divorced parents. Therefore,
when Luke is hit by a taxi and hospitalized,
they cant understand why Adam is so insis-
tent on seeing Luke.
It may be that Lukes fundamentalist, big-
oted father Butch (James Carpenter) could
have an inkling that Luke is gay, but he
wont acknowledge it, not even to himself.
Having been a free spirit in her younger
days, Lukes mother, Arlene (Rachel
Harker), probably would be more accepting
if she knew.
The action shifts between the present in
the hospital and the past, starting with the
night that Luke and Adam met and continu-
ing at various times in their relationship.
One constant in their lives is Holly, a
straight friend who owns the candle shop
where they have worked. As portrayed by
Lindsey Gates, Holly is funny, supportive
and straightforward, a kind of rock for them.
The plays sixth character is Brandon
(Ryan Tasker), Lukes Christian friend
whos even less accepting of his own homo-
sexuality.

NEW YORK Is donning blackface to
dress up as a favorite TV character ever OK
for Halloween?
How about a bloody hoodie and blackface
for a costume riff on the slain teen Trayvon
Martin, or full-on minstrel at a splashy
Africa-themed party for the fashion elite in
Milan?
Each of those costumes made headlines
this Halloween season. And the answer to
each, African studies and culture experts
said, is never.
The painful history of minstrelsy is not
that long ago for us to think that now,
somehow, we can do it differently or do it
better, said Yaba Blay, co-director of
Africana Studies at Drexel University in
Philadelphia.
Julianne Hough found that out the hard
way. She apologized on Twitter over the
weekend amid criticism for darkening her
skin for a costume as Crazy Eyes from
Orange is the New Black at a Hollywood
bash.
Hough explained on Twitter: I am a huge
fan of the show Orange is the New black,
actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has
created. It certainly was never my intention
to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone
in any way. I realize my costume hurt and
offended people and I truly apologize.
Theres a ne line between mockery and
tribute and its a line that blackface has
the power to obliterate, said Marita
Sturken, professor of media, culture and
communication at New York University.
Its never something very simple, and if
youre going to don a costume and put on a
black face theres no possibility of nuance
there, she said. It doesnt matter that it
was a character from a TV show. That does-
nt get her off the hook. If shes going to
put some substance on her face, that consti-
tutes blackface and this incredibly compli-
cated history gets evoked.
Historically, blackface emerged in the
mid-19th century, representing a combina-
tion of put-down, fear and morbid fascina-
tion with black culture, said Eric Lott, a vis-
iting American studies professor at City
University of New Yorks graduate center.
Among the most prominent examples: Al
Jolson and Eddie Cantor.
Its constantly a form of entertainment
that backs itself into all kinds of trouble,
whether political trouble around slavery or
a kind of mental trouble having to do with
fantasizing about black people, said Lott,
who wrote the 1993 book Love & Theft:
Blackface Minstrelsy & the American
Working Class.
As for Hough, he said: Its just a stupid
thing to do. Its a racist thing to do. What
blackface does is give the white people
privilege of representing black people, of
taking black images and treating them as a
thing owned.
Kelsey Crowe, who teaches social work
in San Francisco, has been following the
fracas on Facebook. She sees more tribute
to Crazy Eyes than hatred in Houghs cos-

PHILADELPHIA If youre planning to
bake a cake for your childs upcoming birth-
day party, you might want to ask yourself
one question: What would the Cake Boss
do?
Because if you think a basic sheet cake
and candles are all you need, you clearly
havent been paying attention. Extreme
caking has come to the home cook, fueled
partly by TV shows showcasing crazy con-
fections, and partly by boastful amateur
bakers eager to strut their sugary stuff on
social media.
Shows like Ace of Cakes, Cake Boss
and various spinoffs tempt viewers with
stunning visions of creations closer to art
than dessert. They build cityscapes, sea
monsters and dragons all sculpted like
statues in three dimensions. Amateurs fol-
low suit, posting photos of their creations
to Twitter and Reddit, and the more elabo-
rate the cakes are, the more popular they
become.
This helps explain why once esoteric
pro-grade tools and ingredients for creating
elaborately embellished cakes not to
mention classes on how to use all those
toys are big sellers today.
In Philadelphias Italian Market, kitchen
supply store Fantes has been teaching cake
decorating to amateurs for at least 30 years.
The supplies they sell and classes they offer
are constant indicators of cake trends.
During the early 80s it was marzipan and
fancy owers; today its 3-D and fondant, an
icing that can be sculpted.
There was a huge shift as soon as the TV
shows came out, says Nina Rose Pelc, an
instructor at Fantes. Ive seen some three-

(Harrison Ford) and Major Gwen
Anderson (Viola Davis) monitor
their techniques in search of the
One, a child with the strategic
instincts to save his species. The lead-
ing candidate is Ender Wiggin (Asa
Buttereld), a runt-like outsider whose
behavior toward his aggressive class-
mates reveals his true potential.
Like The Hunger Games, the pic
peddles the unseemly idea of watching
kids thrust into life-and-death situa-
tions. Though theyre not instructed to
kill one another, these moppets prime
directive should also give parents
pause, raising the stakes from hand-to-
hand combat to the potential genocide
of an unfamiliar race. Fortunately,
Hood (who also penned the adaptation)
factors these weighty themes into the
story without making them the pri-
mary focus. Between the officers,
Graffs agenda is more complicated
than he lets on, while Anderson repre-
sents the voice of reason, remarking,
It used to be a war crime to recruit any-
one under the age of 15. But these are
not soldiers, per se, but highly skilled
Junior ROTC types, training on virtu-
al conict scenarios.
Buttereld who has grown into
his big blue eyes, if not the rest of his
body, since Hugo makes ideal
casting for Ender: Hes scrawny and
physically unimposing, yet theres an
intensity to his stare that suggests he
might indeed be masking deeper (or
darker) gifts. Its nothing so powerful
as the Force, or Neos Matrix-bending
abilities, though Enders Game dedi-
cates nearly its entire run time to
Battle School, where our hero and his
fellow recruits practice various drills,
including an anti-gravity game (the
rules of which arent terribly clear)
that looks like the next best thing to
Quidditch.
Despite the obvious be all you can
be subtext, Enders Game manages
to make these training sequences com-
pelling without veering into pro-mili-
tary propaganda, doing so by focusing
on the interpersonal dynamics
between the various squad members.
Though Card may have publicly
revealed his own prejudices, the cast-
ing department has assembled a won-
derfully diverse group of young actors
male and female, they come in all
colors, shapes and sizes to serve
alongside Ender.
So much youthful energy onscreen
makes Ford seem tired and weary by
comparison. Still, its a treat to dis-
cover Han Solo all buttoned up and
back to do more space battle not
that anyone here is quite as lively or
memorable as the characters B-movie
fans discovered in Star Wars three
dozen years ago. Butterelds Hugo
co-star Ben Kingsley also pops up for
a late cameo, sporting an Australian
accent and an elaborate Maori tribal
tattoo across his entire face (a poor
mans Darth Maul, perhaps?). It might
not seem fair to compare what Hood
has created to someone as visionary in
all things sci- as George Lucas, and
yet, considering the sizable budget
expended on Enders Game, one
could have hoped for something a bit
more groundbreaking.
Enders Game, a Summit release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for some vio-
lence, sci- action and thematic mate-
rial. Running time: 114 minutes.
ENDER
ed cast with a sensitive hand, allowing
the humor to come through and stress-
ing poignancy rather than pathos.
Playing Adam, Scheie, a veteran Bay
Area actor who often plays over-the-
top characters, shows deeper emotions
here while allowing some of his
comedic skills to come through.
Shonkwilers Luke is a fun guy most
of the time, but as a believer in heaven
and hell, hes worried about Adams
fate. Hes also worried about coming
out to his father.
When Butch says hes coming to
New York from his Florida home, Luke
tries to de-gay the apartment he
shares with Adam and asks Adam to
leave for a few hours.
This leads to one of the plays best
scenes when Luke goes out on an
errand and Butch arrives early, leading
to an uncomfortable first meeting
between him and Adam. Carpenter,
another veteran Bay Area actor, plays
well off Scheie in this scene and oth-
ers.
More ne acting comes from Harker
as Arlene, especially when she tells
Adam about how she tried to reach out
to a young Luke after being absent
from most of his life.
Scenic designer Annie Smarts set
easily adapts to shifting scenes, as do
Cathleen Edwards costumes. Lighting
by Dawn Chiang and sound by Steve
Schoenbeck enhance this Bay Area
premiere of the Tony-nominated play.
Next Fall will continue at San Jose
Repertory Theatre, 101 Paseo de San
Antonio, San Jose, through Nov. 10.

tume. Other recent examples are far
more troubling, she said.
Trayvon Martin, thats awful,
Crowe said of two Florida men whose
photo circulated on social media ahead
of Halloween on Thursday.
One was in blackface with a simulat-
ed bloody bullet hole at the chest and
the other simulated a gun to the head of
the faux 17-year-old while dressed as
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood
watch volunteer who fatally shot
Trayvon in Florida and was acquitted in
court.
She was also not into the minstrel
costumes in Milan. But the look for
Hough didnt strike me as exploita-
tive at all, she said.
In other cases blackface is used to
make fun of people. I really saw this as
a way to embody a character that you
like, said Crowe, who will be a cat for
Halloween with her 3-year-old daugh-
ter.

tiered, ve-tiered cakes that could be wedding cakes for
3-year-olds birthday parties.
According to Lynn Sorensen, co-owner of Kitchen Krafts
a website that sells baking tools and materials the
number of vendors selling specialty tools and ingredients
for building these cakes has increased as demand for them
has risen.
She says the cakes people want to build can change by the
week, depending on popular movies or events. When the
royal baby was born, for example, Sorensen said people
wanted decorative crowns.
The Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro, said in a phone
interview that hes happy to have raised the cake-decorating
bar.
Im a proponent of people making those kinds of cakes,
trying to make the cakes that I make, Valastro says. At the
end of the day, the reason I became a baker is that when you
nish a cake and you step away, theres a feeling inside.
Youre like, Wow! And I want to give that feeling to other
people.
When Joshua Orvis, a research scientist from Tulsa,
Okla., started getting into extreme caking along with his
wife, it was for their sons third birthday.
He said, I want an Angry Birds cake and we thought,
Well, how do we do that? Orvis says.
He searched Google Images for Angry Birds cakes, unsure
of what would turn up. Hundreds of colorful cakes tiled his
screen depicting the games scenes and characters in vary-
ing levels of complexity.
Then we found out you can get fondant and just make
whatever you want to make, Orvis says. Like a kid with
Play-Doh, we just sculpted shapes out of it.
The Angry Birds cake was a success. The Orvises have
since sculpted a variety of special cakes for their four young
children: one of Pingu, the clay-mation Swiss-British pen-
guin, one of a Star Wars scene, and two of cars. The most
recent cake was a Pagani Zonda R race car for which Orvis
used traditional cake, Rice Krispies Treats, and fondant for
the body paneling.
The Orvises nd the cake-making process rewarding, not
just for the joy it brings their children, but also for the cre-
ative outlet.
Both of our jobs are not very artistic, but we both think
that were relatively artistic people, Orvis says. Its a fun
thing to do together.

Grupo Feju, an altars contest, cos-
tumes and activities for children.
Connie Guerrero, a Parks and
Recreation commissioner, does com-
munity engagement for different proj-
ects, including this one.
Its a great opportunity to celebrate
the lives of people whove passed
away, Guerrero said. Its about
remembering loved ones and making
sure that kids see it.
Last year there were so many people
that the organizers needed to move the
festivities to Courthouse Square
because its bigger than its previous
space in front of the main library last
year.
The Day of the Dead is celebrated
Nov. 1 in Mexico. On this day, fami-
lies go to the cemetery to visit the
graves of their relatives. They clean
and paint the grave, place owers and
light candles.
Mexican families make special
altars dedicated to dead relatives. The
altars range from very simple to some
that are very elaborate. They are often
full of pleasure objects giving life to
their dead relatives, including food and
favorite drinks. Attendees tonight will
be able to put various food items from
local food establishments on six altars
set up at the library and restaurants
such as La Victoria, Quinto Sol, LV
Mar, Milagros Cantina and Margaritas
Restaurant.
The celebration also incudes various
food booths. Chavez Supermarket will
serve tamales and morisqueta. Nuris
Donut House is serving empanadas and
a hot chocolate called champurrado.
As part of this celebration Redwood
City business owner, oral designer
and artist Aili Ice of Aili Ice Designs
will display an art installation at
Courthouse Square from Nov. 1 to Nov.
4. Mireya Villanueva will also display
an art installation at Redwood City Art
Center from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4.
Its going to be very alive and col-
orful, Guerrero said. I hope people
will get the whole experience out of
it.
This event is co-sponsored by the
Redwood City Library Foundation, the
Redwood City Public Library,
Redwood City Parks Recreation and
Community Service and the cultural
engagement group Circulo Cultural. It
will help raise funds for the library col-
lection.
Courthouse Square is located at 2200
Broadway in Redwood City.

But none of the ideas stuck due to the
context of the market and nancing,
thus the motel is still open for busi-
ness, Burroughs said.
Theres a right time to build and a
right time not to build, Burroughs
said.
The property is located in zone C2,
which allows for commercial proper-
ties; however, residential facilities are
allowed under certain circumstances,
Usher said. To qualify for a use permit,
the applicant would need to provide
additional documents, have a more in-
depth review, endure longer process-
ing times and pay additional fees,
Usher said.
The city wants to be sensitive to
the area and keep a balance, so a use
permit lets us take a closer look in
terms of appropriateness, Usher said.
The application begins with city
staff from re, police, building and
planning reviewing the proposal,
compiling staff reports and then pre-
senting it to the Planning
Commission, Usher said. As the proj-
ect may require a special use permit,
staff will make recommendations
about the compatibility of the apart-
ments with the surrounding residences
and businesses, Usher said.
Just making its way through the
Planning Commission will likely run
into 2014, Usher said. Even though
its a long process, BSB is used to
working with both cities and builders
to construct substantial projects,
Burroughs said.
BSB has worked extensively in the
Bay Area. Although this is the only
property it owns in the city, it has
worked as a general contractor for
other developments in San Mateo and
have helped to build a Hilton
Homewood Suites in Palo Alto,
Burroughs said.

test results for individual students or
schools would be out of compliance
with federal law specically the
provisions of the No Child Left
Behind that require students from third
grade on to be tested in both areas
every year and school-wide scores to
be made public.
We are concerned that failure to
comply with this requirement would
have a negative impact on students,
particularly at-risk students such as
English Learners, students with dis-
abilities and low-income students,
she wrote.
California Superintendent of Public
Instruction Tom Torlakson and State
Board of Education President Michael
Kirst issued a statement saying they
remain committed to launching the
new tests statewide and hopeful they
will be able to satisfy the concerns of
federal ofcials.
To the extent there is disagreement
with the federal government, there is a
process for addressing it, and well
continue to work with officials in
Washington, they said. Federal of-
cials have never before taken money
out of classrooms, and we would hope
and expect that they would not start
now.
California is seeking to replace the
pencil-and-paper, multiple-choice
STAR tests with new language and
math tests taken on computers, called
the Measurement of Academic Progress
and Performance. The tests are being
developed with other states to follow a
set of national curriculum standards
known as Common Core, but
California is the only state preparing
to give it to all students this spring
instead of conducting a limited eld
test.

District Attorney Karen Guidotti said his
punishment for the March 5 incident will be
based on more than that single factor
although it is a consideration.
What he did was extremely dangerous to a
lot of innocent and vulnerable people, she
said.
Stoyanov was originally charged with
four felonies but settled on arson of an
inhabited structure and assault with a deadly
weapon on a peace ofcer.
Stoyanov, of Hillsborough, was a patient
at San Mateo Medical Center when he
reportedly began the late-night re on the
rst oor. After hospital staff extinguished
the small re, Stoyanov reportedly blocked
himself in a hospital room with a chair and
hamper. When a nurse kicked the door open,
she reported seeing the bed and oor on re
and Stoyanov walking toward her swinging
a knife. Responding ofcers needed nearly
two hours and a Taser to negotiate and even-
tually apprehend him.
The re caused the evacuation of 29 rooms
and chaos but little other damage to the hos-
pital.
He remains free from custody in his
friends home as long as they transport him
to medical appointments and he maintains
contact with the court.

GUILTY
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Airline passengers wont
have to turn off all electronic devices any-
more theyll be able to read, work, play
games, watch movies and listen to music
from gate to gate under new guidelines from
the Federal Aviation Administration. But they
still cant talk on their cellphones through
the ight.
Dont expect the changes to happen
immediately, FAA Administrator Michael
Huerta said Thursday at a news conference
announcing new rules. How fast will vary by
airline.
Delta and JetBlue said they would quickly
submit plans to implement the new policy.
Airlines will have to show the FAAthat their
airplanes meet the new guidelines and that
theyve updated their ight-crew training
manuals, safety announcements and rules for
stowing devices to reect the new guidelines.
It sounded like good news to passengers
heading out from Reagan National Airport on
Thursday.
Ketan Patel, 24, said hes happy that regu-
lators have debunked the idea that the devices
pose a safety problem. If it isnt a problem,
it should be allowed, he said as he stepped
into a security line, a smartphone in his
hand.
Monica Lexie, 50, entering the same line,
said the change will enable her to use her
Kindle to read longer. But then she was never
bothered by the restrictions.
You just shut it off and wait for the little
light to go on, she said. Our safety takes
precedence.
Currently, passengers are required to turn
off their smartphones, tablets and other
devices once a planes door closes. Theyre
not supposed to restart them until the planes
reach 10,000 feet and the captain gives the
go-ahead. Passengers are supposed to turn
their devices off again as the plane descends
to land and not restart them until it is on the
ground.
Under the new guidelines, airlines whose
planes are properly protected from electronic
interference may allow passengers to use the
devices during takeoffs, landings and taxi-
ing, the FAA said. Most new airliners and
other planes that have been modied so that
passengers can use Wi-Fi at higher altitudes
are expected to meet the criteria.
Passengers will also be able to connect to
the Internet to surf, exchange emails, or
download data below 10,000 feet if the plane
has an installed Wi-Fi system, but not
through cellular networks. Passengers will be
told to switch their devices to airplane mode.
Heavier devices such as laptops will continue
to have to be stowed away because of concern
they might injure someone if they go ying
around the cabin.
The guidelines reect the evolution in
types and prevalence of devices used by pas-
sengers over the past decade. In 2003, 70 per-
cent of passengers carried electronic devices
with them on planes, and the most common
device was a cellphone that wasnt capable of
connecting to the Internet, followed by a cal-
culator, according to a survey by the
Consumer Electronics Association. Afollow-
up survey by the association this year found
that 99 percent of passengers carry some
device with them, with smartphones the most
common followed by notebook or laptop
computers.
In-ight cellphone calls will continue to
be prohibited. Regulatory authority over
phone calls belongs to the Federal
Communications Commission, not the FAA.
The commission prohibits the calls because
of concern that phones on planes ying at
hundreds of miles per hour could strain the
ability of cellular networks to keep up as the
devices keep trying to connect with cell-
phone towers, interfering with service to
users on the ground.
The changes announced Thursday apply to
both domestic and international ights by
U.S. carriers, but the rules get a little tricky
for international ights. On takeoff from the
United States and during landing back in the
U.S., passengers would be allowed to use
electronics. However, when arriving or
departing a foreign country, passengers
would have to comply with local laws.
Currently, most counties have their own pro-
hibitions on electronic device use. However,
they tend to follow the FAAs lead and likely
could relax their own rules in the near future.
