Finally!
Giants win the World Series,
bring title to San Francisco
By Ben Walker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — The
prize that eluded Willie and Barry at
long last belongs to the San
Francisco Giants, thanks to a band
of self-described castoffs and mis-
fits and their shaggy-haired ace.

and taking the trophy home to the
city by the Bay for the first time.
It was an overdue victory — the
Giants last wore the crown in 1954,
four years before they moved West.
So much for a franchise that never
quite got it done in October despite
the likes of baseball giants Willie
Mays, Barry Bonds and Juan
Marichal. It’s November, and now
new stars stand tall in San
Francisco.
“This buried a lot of bones — ’62,
’89, 2002,” Giants general manager
Brian Sabean said, ticking off losing
Series appearances. “This group
deserved it, faithful from the begin-
ning. We’re proud and humbled by
the achievement.”
Lincecum outdueled Cliff Lee in
an every-pitch-matters matchup that
was scoreless until Renteria earned
the Series MVP award by hitting a
stunning three-run homer with two
outs in the seventh inning. Nelson
Cruz homered in the bottom half,
but Lincecum returned to his
wicked self and preserved the lead.

here is a new benchmark,
the beginning of a new
era in the San Francisco
Giants’ franchise history. No
more will 1954 be the last time
the Giants won a world champi-

1962, 1989 and 2002 now

ured.
This is for
Willie
McCovey,
Dusty
Baker, Candy Maldonado and
Salomon Torres.
No longer will Giants fan ago-
nize over Bobby Richardson
snaring McCovey’s line drive in
Game 7 of the 1962 World
Series. They won’t have to ques-
tion why Baker lifted Russ Ortiz
with a 5-0 lead in Game 6 of the
2002 World Series. Maldonado
can finally be forgiven for losing
that fly ball in the lights against
the St. Louis Cardinals in the
1987 National League
Championship Series, and Torres
can finally be recognized as a
rookie pitching on the last day of
the 1993 season against the hated
Dodgers.
The San Francisco Giants have
finally won the World Series.
This is for Willie Mays, Juan
Marichal, Will Clark, Bobby and
Barry Bonds, Bill Laskey, Jack
Clark, Terry Whitfield, Johnnie
LeMaster, Mike Ivie, Greg
Minton, Scott Garrelts and all
other Giants who toiled through
the lean years of the 1960s
through most of the ’80s.
Laskey, who is currently
Aragon’s softball coach, was on
the mound on the final day of the
1982 season when Joe Morgan’s
homer knocked the Dodgers out
of the playoffs. He is still heavily
involved with the team. Whitfield

Vacant lot eyed for new school site Police reports

District board to discuss San Mateo location to meet growing enrollment
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 2.8-acre vacant lot in San Mateo could be
home to a new elementary school after it
became clear public land within Foster City was
off the table.
On Thursday, San Mateo-Foster City school
officials are scheduled to discuss 400 Mariners
Island Blvd. in closed session. The site, located
steps away from Foster City limits, could be the
new home of a neighborhood school officials
say is needed to house growing enrollment.
While officials would not confirm the site is
being considered for that use, it would fit with-
in search parameters previously publicly dis-
cussed by the district.
One thing is without question.
“We need a new school. Foster City, as a com-
munity, has strongly supported neighborhood
schools,” said Trustee Lory Lorimer Lawson.

neighborhood schools to families resulted in the

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A local lawmaker is ready to close a loop-

interest among California High-Speed Rail
Authority board members.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, cit-
ing a recent audit released last week by the
Office of the Inspector General that details
millions being spent on consultants without
proper documentation, wants to introduce leg-
islation in January to address cost controls at
the rail authority.
Two authority board members have also
allegedly received tens of thousands of dollars
in consulting fees from firms with financial
interests in the project, according to Hill.

process, portions of a 15-acre site in the heart of
Foster City has topped the district’s list of ideal
locations. This summer, Foster City officials
made it clear the site would not house a school.
District officials then turned their sites to private
property. Thursday’s conversation is the first
agendized conversation about such property.
This is not the first time the district has consid-
ered land outside the Foster City limits, an
option last discussed publicly in October 2009.
The lot, 400 Mariners Island Blvd., is located
on a street which acts as the boundary between
San Mateo and Foster City. It is valued at $2.2
million, according to the San Mateo County Tax
Collector’s Office.
Most recently, a condominium project at the
site was going through the planning process.
A three-story, 76-unit multi-family residential

Hill wants to make sure the integrity of the

Former San Carlos officers join Sheriff’s Office
Entire department sworn in; city hopes to claim savings
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The entire San Carlos Police Department
was sworn in en masse to the Sheriff’s Office
yesterday, culminating approximately a year of
debate and decisions in the city’s innovative
decision to outsource public safety for a $2 mil-
lion annual savings.
The five-year contract with the Sheriff’s
Office actually took effect Oct. 31 but a cere-
monial swearing outside the historic court-
house in Redwood City yesterday signaled for
many the actual end of the 85-year-old city
department.
Sheriff Greg Munks, former San Carlos
Police Chief Greg Rothaus — now a sheriff’s
captain heading up the San Carlos bureau —
and city officials supporting outsourcing have
told residents they shouldn’t expect much
change short of a different badge and some
shift of administrative duties to the Sheriff’s
Office in Redwood City.
Detractors, including San Carlos residents
who tried unsuccessfully to block the move
with a measure that never made it to the ballot,
have warned the city is risking public safety
and possible financial footing if it ever wishes
to re-establish its own department.
But Monday morning, with rows of uniform-
clad officers and employees swearing to uphold
the law as sheriff’s deputies, the talk was
instead of pride, camaraderie and the future.
“We welcome them with open arms and will
take very good care of them,” said Sheriff Greg
Munks.
Although Munks mentioned the economic
struggles that led to the city’s decision to out-
source, he focused primarily on greeting his
newest employees and their loved ones.
“We are a family here at the Sheriff’s Office
and you are now part of that family,” Munks
said.
Those bonds were evident as wives, children,
parents and others pinned badges on the recent-

ly sworn in. Some struggled through the stiff
uniform cloth. Others pushed through with
ease. The flash of cameras competed with the
flash of grins as hugs, high-fives and even a
two-thumbs up finished up the ceremony.
“This was just beautiful. I was impressed,”
said Suzie McCarty, who pinned her husband,
Craig McCarty, along with their 2-and-a-half-
year-old daughter, Alice.
McCarty, who was with the San Carlos
Police Department for two years before the
transition, was really looking forward to the
handoff, his wife said.
The Sheriff’s Office beat out Redwood City
for the San Carlos police contract in large part
because it guaranteed jobs for every member of
the 39-member department. The Sheriff’s
MICHAEL COSTA/DAILY JOURNAL
Office had roughly two dozen vacancies and
the county agreed to add the handful of others.
The contract also transfers equipment and
either resurrects or enhances programs like
DARE and traffic enforcement.
To end a $3.5 million budget deficit and a
decade of cuts, San Carlos has also already out-
sourced its parks maintenance and human
resources payroll. Officials are now awaiting
proposals for fire service, with Cal Fire,
Redwood City, San Mateo and Menlo Park
expected to be in the mix. Bids are due in early
December and a new provider could be in place
by next October when the city’s joint powers
agreement with the city of Belmont dissolves,
ending the Belmont-San Carlos Fire
Department.

Day of the Dead party
raises funds for students
Parents at Sunnybrae Elementary School in
San Mateo held a Day of the Dead festival on
campus last night to help raise money for field
trips for fifth graders and to celebrate diversi-
ty.
Organizers, a group of five mothers, hope it
will turn into an annual event.
Sunnybrae has three fifth-grade classes and
students incur a lot of expense going on field
trips or paying for graduation, for instance,
said Alicia Petrakis, one of the event’s organ-
izers.
“Many of the kids are not able to go on field
trips,” Petrakis said.
Sunnybrae has a growing Hispanic popula-
tion, Petrakis said, and the event was meant to
bring the entire community together.
Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is
a holiday in Mexico that focuses on gather-
ings of family and friends to pray for and
remember those who have died. It is celebrat-
ed Nov. 2.
The event featured a mariachi band, authen-
tic food and a raffle.
The San Mateo County Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce provided seed money for the
celebration and La Morenita market provided
food.
Students pre-sold nearly 300 tickets for the
event.
City to send holiday
greetings to troops
The city of San Mateo is preparing to send
cards and care packages to troops serving
overseas and is asking the public’s help.
San Mateo’s Adopted Sons of Alpha
Company, 1/327 Infantry Regiment, 101st
Airborne Division will be away from their
families during the holiday season as the com-
pany was deployed to Afghanistan earlier this
year. This is the company’s fourth tour of duty
in the Middle East.
The city is asking for residents to send cards
and care packages to soldiers in the company
to help make the holidays special.
If you drop off your gift and/or greeting at
the city clerk’s office in City Hall, located at
330 W. 20th Ave., we will pack and mail the
items to Afghanistan. The deadline for deliv-
ery by Christmas Day is Nov. 13.
If you want to personalize your items with a
card or greeting, the names of the members of
Alpha Company are available at the City
Clerk’s Office in City Hall. To get the name of

The calls for greater regulation of
events at the Cow Palace in Daly City
are getting louder in the wake of 15
Spookfest partygoers being hospital-
ized, following on the heels of two
deaths at a May rave.
State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, said if the Cow
Palace doesn’t act immediately to bet-
ter protect the community, he will
introduce legislation requiring it to
provide medical and police personnel
in advance of hosting raves.
“Once and for all, we can finally
end such tragedies at this troubled
venue,” Yee said.
Closer to home, Daly City
Councilman David Canepa isn’t wait-
ing for the Cow Palace to take its own
steps. On Monday, Canepa said he
will ask the City Council to pass an
ordinance requiring the police chief to
approve promoters. Like Yee’s pro-
posal, Canepa’s suggestion would
additionally require promoters pay a
public safety fee for added law
enforcement and absorb any other
costs for police and fire if another
incident ends poorly.
Canepa also wants to put an age
limit of 18 on these types of events.
“I don’t have a problem with events
at the Cow Palace and I want it to
thrive. However, I have a problem
with these events causing a safety haz-
ard to my community and to the
patrons of these events,” Canepa said.
The palace sits in Daly City but is
operated by the California
Department of Food and Agriculture’s
Division of Fairs and Expositions.
The latest incident happened Friday
at Subsonic Spookfest, a Halloween-
themed party
sponsored

overdoses. Two
were critical and
remain in the intensive care unit.
In March, nine people fell ill at the
etd. Pop 2010 electronic music festi-
val and two eventually died.
Authorities initially thought tainted
drugs were behind the incidents but
eventually ruled them Ecstasy over-
doses.
After that tragedy, local and state
leaders called for action but stronger
regulation fell on deaf ears. Yee com-
pared the push to his efforts to double
fines on 19th Avenue in San Francisco
where speeding and deaths were
prominent.
The problem, according to Yee, is
that money trumps safety.
“Sadly, the Cow Palace and these
rave promoters care more about mak-
ing a quick buck than the safety of our
kids and young people,” Yee said.
Last year, the Subsonic Halloween
2010 Spookfest was held without
incident, Cow Palace CEO Joe
Barkett said in a statement.
This year, there were 12,670 atten-
dees and the radio station, Live Nation
and Cow Palace provided for 21 Daly
City police officers, according to
Barkett.
There were also approximately 88
security personnel and 39 medical
personnel on hand, he said.
Yet more is necessary, Yee said.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Yee called the
Cow Place board
of directors “rep-
rehensible” for
allowing raves
and similar
events without
stepping up secu-
rity.
C o u n t y
Adrienne Supervisor
Tissier Adrienne Tissier,
whose district
includes the Cow Palace, echoed the
need for action and pointed at the state
for failing to make serious changes.
“Enough is enough is enough ... If
the Cow Palace was under the control
of Daly City or San Mateo County,
these issues would’ve been properly
addressed years ago,” Tissier said.
In June, Tissier successfully asked
the Board of Supervisors to pass a res-
olution asking state legislators to limit
raves. Tissier, who sat on the Daly
City Council when two people died at
a New Year’s Eve rave, said the city
asked the Cow Palace to stop then to
no avail.
Tissier has no new plans for local
ordinances or restrictions but is ready
to assist Yee with his efforts, said leg-
islative aide Bill Chiang.
With the Legislature on a break, the
Cow Palace has until January to get its
act together, said Yee spokesman
Adam Keigwin.
“If this wasn’t the first time, we
might give them more time. But now
there have been several episodes,”
Keigwin said.
By then, too, the state will have a
new governor who Yee hopes will be
helpful in getting a new set of board
directors amenable to added protec-
tions, he said.

t’s almost done. The commer-
cials, the e-mails, the robo-
calls, the mailboxes filled
with fliers and brochures from
groups most have never heard of
about candidates and measures they
wish they never had.
By the end of today, though, the
nonsense will all be done.
The commercials tearing oppo-
nents apart, parading out children
and firefighters, claiming public
safety risks, essentially begging for
support from everyone who hasn’t
yet mailed in a ballot — come
Wednesday they will be replaced
with articles trumpeting winners,
analysis forecasting the future, dis-
gruntled comments by Election
Day losers.
The polls close at 8 p.m. and,
depending upon the quickness of
workers and the smoothness of
computer programs, California res-
idents should have a pretty clear
idea by day’s end who will settle
into the governor’s seat for the next
four years, who will claim a county
supervisor seat, which district gets
a tax, whether the next state budget
process will be hamstrung by the
two-thirds majority, if congression-
al control gets upset.
Almost done.
Depending on what time of day
‘Those who abstain today better hold their tongues if

you’re reading this, the end is a
half-day away or maybe just a few
hours. If you’re one of those organ-
ized people who requests an absen-
tee ballot and actually mails it in
time — rather than scrambling
around this morning to figure out
the nearest polling place to drop
the ballot — kudos and feel free to
sit back and wait. It’s almost over
and you don’t have any of the last-
minute panic. Consider yourself
lucky but also realize the polls
don’t close any sooner. Like the
rest of us lazy procrastinators, the
answers come at the same time.
And so we wait, for the answers
and for the end to another election
cycle in which there was too much
mudslinging and too few definitive
answers and plans. Is it any wonder
nobody will be sad to see it go?
Plus, didn’t we just have an elec-
tion? Weren’t we casting ballots for
many of the same candidates only a
stone’s throw back in June?
Maybe this time the folks who
stayed home in June — who cares
OPINION
about a primary anyway? — decid-
ed to show up. Maybe this time
they’ll realize the stakes are higher.
Maybe this time we’ll care more.
Or, maybe this time the exact
opposite is true. Election Season
feels like it lasted a good six cen-
turies; maybe if we don’t vote, the
politicians will get the message to
play nice the next time around.
Maybe, but doubtful. Not partici-
pating isn’t going to speed up or
soften the cycle but it will certainly
slow down democracy. Those who
don’t vote earn nothing but the
right not to complain about who
wins and what they do while in
office. Those who abstain today
better hold their tongues if asked to
pay parcel taxes, if the county
supervisors appoint replacements
for mid-term vacancies or if the
state puts greenhouse gas rules on
pause.
Few, short of some overzealous
poll workers, are frankly thrilled
anymore with Election Day short
of it pulling to a close. But voting
is more than a necessary evil; it is a
right and one that voters needs to
reclaim as more meaningful than a
breather from negativity. Voters
need to remember that what they
do today stays with the county, the
state, the country and themselves
far after Tuesday.
Election Day is almost done. But
the rest of the political future?
That’s just beginning.

State propositions
Proposition 19-NO
Allows people 21 years and older to
possess,cultivate or transport marijuana for
personal use and proponents say it could
generate $1.4 billion in revenue for the
state.If you believe marijuana should be
legalized,this proposition is the wrong way
to do it.Local governments could still
prohibit recreational marijuana,creating a
burden on city officials and police who
would be tasked with the responsibility of
new regulations.Such a responsibility has
already proven to be burdensome
for medicinal marijuana,which
has a true benefit for those who
require it for physical ailments.
***
Proposition 20-YES,
Proposition 27-NO
California’s legislative districts
have been drawn by those in
power to ensure “safe”districts
for their colleagues.In doing so,
they have created a system in
which there is little competition for some
members of the state Assembly and Senate
and little incentive for those on either side
of the aisle to work with members of the
opposing party since they are virtually
assured of re-election.
Proposition 20 would expand the role of
the commission to include congressional
districts and would eliminate any
temptation to draw districts for political
gain.Proposition 27 would eliminate the
commission before it has a chance to
reform a sorely broken system.
***
Proposition 21-NO
Would establish an $18 surcharge on every
vehicle owner’s Department of Motor
Vehicle annual bill in exchange for free
access to state parks.It’s a way for the state
to raise the car tax under the auspices of a
benefit to the parks system when it would
actually funnel money it collects into the
general fund.
***
Proposition 22-YES
Proposition 22 will prohibit the state,even
during a period of severe financial hardship,
from delaying the distribution of tax
revenue for transportation,redevelopment
or local government projects and services.
***
Proposition 23-NO
Proposition 23 would suspend
legislation passed in 2006 that
aimed to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions until
unemployment drops
below 5.5 percent for four
consecutive quarters.
Arguments for or against
climate change aside,AB 32
takes solid steps to reducing
emissions and ensuring clean air
and water for our state.It is a quest
that should not be way-laid by our current
economic cycle.
Proposition 24-NO
***
A law signed by the governor in 2009 as part
of the budget deal allowed multistate
businesses a new way to determine how
much of their income that California taxes.
Under the law,businesses can shift operating
losses to prior and future tax years,share tax
credits with affiliated corporations and use a
sales-based income calculation.
***
Proposition 25-NO
Proponents claim this proposal would end
the annual gridlock in Sacramento when it
comes to passing the state budget.In
theory,it would.However,the current two-
thirds majority is an important safeguard
against a legislative majority freely
increasing new taxes and state worker pay
and pensions.Reducing the threshold for a
state budget passage should not be
enacted until redistricting reform is under
way so more moderate legislators on both
sides of the aisle have a chance to work
with each other.

definition of taxes to include many
and not any one individual.

Stand up to high-speed rail
Editor,
The uprising has begun. Nov. 7
at 11 a.m. at Burlingame Caltrain
station is the first of many large
anti-high-speed rail rallies. Attend
with signs and bring neighbors if
you are worried about the perma-
nent scar HSRA will rip across
the face of all Peninsula cities
from their cheapness and political
games. HSRA CEO Roelof van
Ark confirmed to Burlingame/San
Mateo/Millbrae recently that
Peninsula cities only get elevated
50-feet high, 100-feet wide, free-
way-type structures through their
cities, allegedly because freight
trains use diesel, and can’t run in
underground tunnels. However,
freight haulers on Friday called
this “straw man argument” a com-
plete fabrication, because diesel
trains run in tunnels throughout
the world. The lies are just too
stupid to ignore anymore. Why
does San Francisco get tunnels, so
San Francisco residents don’t
“hear, see or feel” HSR trains, but
HSRA states Peninsula cities
must tax themselves billions for
similar tunnels? How can San
Francisco tear down their “Central
Freeway,” and thereby create
vibrant walking communities
afterwards, while HSRA wants to
construct on the cheap and create
new “Central Freeways” through
all Peninsula towns? How is this
fair? And, if this is all about
HSRA saving money by building
on the cheap, at the expense of
poor families living next to
Caltrain tracks who will be evict-
ed through eminent domain, then
why shouldn’t HSRA “hit the
reset button” and budget for a
proper HSR system design, not
one that evicts families and cre-
ates brand new “Central
Freeways?”

Stocks end mixed
By David K. Randali
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks closed mixed
Monday as traders waited for this week’s
election results and more details about
the Federal Reserve’s plan to stimulate
the economy.
Stocks rose early in the day following
reports of unexpected growth in the
manufacturing industry in both the U.S.
and China last month. Manufacturing
expanded at its fastest pace in five
months, according to the Institute for
Supply Management. The group said
that its industry index rose to 56.9 in
October from 54.4 in September. Any
number above 50 indicates growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
125 points, led by manufacturers
Caterpillar Inc., United Technologies
Corp. and General Electric Co.
But stocks were unable to hold on to
their gains ahead of the election and the
two-day Fed meeting that starts Tuesday.

Gridlock in Congress could threaten economy
By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Political gridlock is
supposed to be good for business. If bick-
ering lawmakers can’t agree on anything,
the thinking goes, they can’t pass laws and
regulations that make the economy worse.
So will the midterm elections, which
are expected to leave Congress at least
partially controlled by Republicans and
squaring off against a Democratic White
House, be a help to the economy?
Don’t count on it.
A standoff between the Obama admin-
istration and emboldened Republicans
will probably block any new help for an
economy squeezed by slow growth and
high unemployment. Congress might also

The Dow rose 6.13, or 0.1 percent, to
finish at 11,124.62
The broad Standard & Poor’s 500
index rose 1.12, or 0.1 percent, to
1,184.38, while the technology-focused
Nasdaq composite index fell 2.57, or 0.1
percent, to 2,504.84.
In one sign of the mixed day in the
stock market, half the industries that
make up the Standard and Poor’s 500
index fell, while the other half rose. Intel
Corp. rose 2.5 percent to lead the 30
companies in the Dow, while Kraft
Foods Inc. was the index’s laggard with
a 1.5 percent decline.
Investors have been assuming the Fed
will launch a new program of buying
Treasury bonds to help stimulate the
economy. Stocks rose for much of
October because investors expect the
Fed will announce as early as
Wednesday that it plans to buy govern-
ment debt in an effort to spark consumer
spending and bank lending. Only in the

and businesses by fighting over taxes,
deficits, health care and financial regula-
tion.“We expect massive gridlock and lit-
tle cooperation,” writes Brian Gardner,
Washington analyst for the financial firm
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.
If times were good, gridlock wouldn’t
matter so much. A Republican Congress
and Democratic White House butted
heads in the mid- and late ’90s, after all,
and their sparring did nothing to derail a
strong economy.
But now, nearly a year and a half after
the official end of the Great Recession, the
economy still isn’t growing fast enough to
bring down unemployment, which is
stuck at 9.6 percent.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
last few days has the market rally trailed
off amid questions about exactly how
much the Fed will spend to buy bonds.
The Dow rose 3.1 percent in October,
including a 0.1 percent drop last week.
Lower interest rates weaken returns on
debt, which would make stocks and
commodities more attractive invest-
ments since their potential return would
be significantly higher.
Bond prices fell following the strong
manufacturing report. The yield on the
benchmark 10-year Treasury note,
which moves opposite its price, rose to
2.63 percent from 2.60 percent late
Friday.
The dollar rose 0.28 percent against a
broad basket of currencies. The Euro
Stoxx 50, which tracks the performance
of blue chip stocks in Europe, fell 1

should sit on its hands,” Yale University
political scientist Jacob Hacker says. “But
right now we’re facing a period of drift.”
In its Pledge to America, the GOP has
vowed to oppose additional spending to
stimulate the economy. Obama’s plan to
spend $50 billion on roads, railways and
airports, for instance, is probably dead.
And the new Congress may resist contin-
uing to extend benefits to the 6.1 million
long-term unemployed, at least without
cutting the budget elsewhere.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke has said lawmakers need to do
more to jump-start the economy.
Otherwise, more pressure will fall on the
Fed to find a way to help, Gardner writes.
But the Fed has already pushed short-term
interest rates to zero.

Lincecum comes through in World Series
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Shaggy hair.
Funky delivery. World Series star.
Tim Lincecum took the ball for his biggest
outing yet and showed he’s still every bit the
ace who won the last two NL Cy Young
Awards. Lincecum — call him the Freak or
Franchise — pitched the Giants to their first
World Series championship since moving
West to San Francisco in 1958 in a 3-1 victo-
ry over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
Make it two World Series wins for the
slightly built right-hander: the opener and the
clincher. While he was just good enough to
beat Cliff Lee in Game 1, Lincecum had
everything working in this one.

Bears back in CCS
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the fourth straight year, the Menlo-
Atherton girls’ tennis team qualified for the
Central Coast Section tournament.
Unlike the two previous seasons, however,
the Bears had to go through the Peninsula
Athletic League team tournament to get there.
The PAL Bay Division regular-season cham-
pion gets an automatic berth into CCS, with
the winner of the tournament getting the
league’s other bid. The last two years, the
Bears went undefeated in league play and
earned the automatic bid.
This year, Burlingame went undefeated to
get the PAL’s first CCS spot, leaving M-A
having to win two matches to reach CCS
again. The Bears dispatched Ocean Division
champion Woodside 6-1 in the semifinals and
then beat Carlmont for the third time this sea-
son, 5-2, in the tournament finals in Atherton
Monday.
For a quartet of M-A players, it will be their
fourth appearance in the CCS tournament.
Pagie Keating, Julia Sommer, Vivian Jones
and Jordyn Fantuzzi are all four-year varsity
players and nothing less than one more shot at
CCS would suffice.
“We’re a team of potential,” Keating said.
“We have a shot to beat anybody. As a team,
we want to make it (to CCS). It gives our team
a chance to play [the top teams in CCS]. We
think it’s fun to play teams with dominant
players.”
Monday, it was the M-A players who were
dominant. Keating, at No. 1 singles, and Erin
LaPorte playing at No. 3 singles, made short
work of their opponents, losing a combined

Everyone’s goal in sports is to win a cham-

was no different. A slow start, however, put a
damper on title talk, but a four-game winning

out of not winning an Ocean Division cham-

career-worst, five-start

months after his 26th birthday he ruled the

this out. No sending this series back to AT&T

It’s fitting San Francisco won the World

That best describes Hillsdale hole set Jason

eight dominant innings, a spectacular 101-
pitch performance that gives him his own
place in history. He needed all of 19 pitches to
get through two innings, tossing six pitches in
a 1-2-3 second.
Lincecum did what generations of Giants
greats and Hall of Famers couldn’t. And in a
hostile environment to boot.
Bonds and the 2002 team were within six
outs of winning it all against the wild-card
Angels. Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Willie

The hole set position is similar to a power

Lincecum was a young boy outside Seattle, is
a shining example it’s not all about how
imposing one looks on the mound.
At 5-foot-11 and a generously listed 170
pounds, Lincecum used to be mistaken for a
bat boy when entering the ballpark after he
was first called up in May 2007 — less than a
year removed from the University of
Washington.
In the dugout between innings, he hides his
head under a towel. On nights he’s not pitch-
ing, his face can barely be seen inside an over-
sized hooded sweatshirt.
It’s those quirks — and others such as not
icing his arm and eating ice cream cones
before starts — that make the Lincecum who
he is.
Maybe his latest thrill will help him come
out of that shell. Though, why change what
certainly works just fine? He is the Freak,
after all.
Minnesota
cuts Moss
By Dave Campbell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Just four weeks
ago, Randy Moss gushed about returning to
Minnesota. He felt fortunate to return to his
first team and was looking forward to seeing
those purple No. 84 jerseys again.
One day after Moss’ rant following a loss at
New England, the happy reunion was over.
Vikings players confirmed Monday that
coach Brad Childress informed them during a
team meeting that the wide receiver had been
released.
“This decision was made based on what we
thought was in the best interests of the
Minnesota Vikings, both
in the short and long
term,” Childress said
Monday night in a team-
issued statement. “We
wish Randy the best as he
moves forward in his
career.”
The NFL Network first
reported the struggling
Randy Moss Vikings (2-5) had waived
the six-time Pro Bowler less than a month
after acquiring him from the Patriots for a
third-round draft pick. Moss returned to New
England on Sunday and was wistful about his
days with the AFC East leaders following
Minnesota’s 28-18 loss and critical of the
Vikings for not taking his game-planning
advice.
Moss, who was fined $25,000 last week for
failing to cooperate with the media and make
himself regularly available for interviews,
stepped to the podium after Sunday’s game
but announced he wouldn’t take any ques-
tions. He repeatedly expressed admiration for

where to channel it.
“I thought I had a very active guy. A guy
who wanted to go 100 miles a minute without
knowing where he was going,” said Renato
Hodzic, Hillsdale’s coach. “He just needed
some direction. … I was very pleased he was
able to use some of that effort and use it in the
right places.”
As important as physical attributes are for
the hole set, so is the mindset. Rudberg

Raiders are rolling after two blowout wins
By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA — Back-to-back
blowouts have put the Oakland
Raiders in a very unusual position:
preparing for a meaningful November
game.
After outscoring Denver and Seattle
92-17 in the most lopsided two-game
stretch for the franchise in 43 years,
the Raiders are getting ready to play
the Kansas City Chiefs in a matchup
of the top two teams in the AFC West.
“It’s been a lot of fun,” offensive
lineman Robert Gallery said Monday.
“We haven’t experienced this a whole
lot in the past six, seven years around
here. This is what it’s supposed to be
like. It’s supposed to be fun. We’re
supposed to be in games like this. We
got to keep doing what we’ve done the
past couple weeks and we have a shot
Doctors raise concussion alarm for kids’ sports
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The risk of concus-
sions from football and some other
sports is so serious that a qualified ath-
letic trainer should always be on the
field — at adult and children’s games,
and even at practice, a major doctors
group said Monday.
Following that advice from the
American Academy of Neurology
to do some good stuff this year.”
Gallery joined the Raiders in 2004
for the second year of a dismal run of
seven seasons with at least 11 losses.
But with the two convincing victories
the past two weeks, Oakland (4-4)
heads into November without a losing
record for the first time since the 2002
Super Bowl season.
The past two weeks have been one
of the best back-to-back performances
ever for the team. The Raiders have
gained at least 500 yards in consecu-
tive games for the first time in fran-
chise history.
The defense has also been nearly as
dominant with eight sacks against the
Seahawks. Oakland held Seattle to
162 yards, including 47 on the ground,
and has held consecutive opponents
under 100 yards rushing for the first
time in four years.
“It’s a big confidence boost,” run-
would be a dramatic change for youth
sports programs, most of which don’t
have certified trainers.
The doctors group recognizes it isn’t
necessarily feasible. One official called
it a gold standard to strive for.
“We understand completely that is
undoable in today’s environment, but
we think that is a correct way to organ-
ize our priorities,” said Dr. Jeffrey
Kutcher, chair of the academy’s sports
SPORTS
“This is
what it’s
supposed
to be like.
It’s
supposed
to be fun.”
Robert Gallery
ning back Darren McFadden said.
“That’s something we’ve been talking
about doing, just going out there and
putting games together back-to-back,
and we’ve been able to do it. Now we
want to just keep going week after
week.”
Quarterback Jason Campbell, who
was benched earlier in the season, has
played well the past two weeks in
place of the injured Bruce
Gradkowski. Campbell has completed
neurology section. He said that if a cer-
tified athletic trainer is not available to a
school, perhaps contact sports should
be avoided.
The recommendation was part of
broader guidance from the academy on
sports concussions. The group also said
no athlete with concussion symptoms
should be allowed to take part in sports,
and that athletes of all ages who are
suspected of suffering concussions
27 of 47 passes for 514 yards, four
touchdowns and no interceptions for a
123.9 passer rating.
That’s the kind of performance the
Raiders were hoping to get when they
acquired Campbell from Washington
in a draft-day trade. Owner Al Davis
was so excited about Campbell that he
compared him to two-time Super
Bowl winner Jim Plunkett in presea-
son.
But despite the strong play from
Campbell, coach Tom Cable main-
tains that Gradkowski will once again
start as soon as he is healthy.
Gradkowski threw in warmups
Sunday and told coaches it was the
best he had felt since leaving the game
against San Diego on Oct. 10 with a
separated right shoulder.
“It’s clear cut,” Cable said. “There’s
no issue there in my mind. What
we’ve done is some nice things in the
should be evaluated by a specialist
before returning to sports.
The new position statement follows
rules already adopted in college sports
and pro football aimed at preventing
and better treating blows to the head.
Research involving NFL players sug-
gests repeated concussions may have
long-term consequences such as
dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

last two weeks. You got to take your
hat off to Jason. It’s a nice job on his

terback is.”
The news is not all good for the
Raiders. Pro Bowl cornerback
Nnamdi Asomugha left Sunday’s
game with a sprained right ankle.
Cable said the team is running tests to
determine the severity of the sprain
and would have a better idea about
Asomugha’s status for this week on
Wednesday.
Leading receiver Zach Miller
played sparingly Sunday because of
an injured right foot and was on
crutches Monday as a precaution. He
is expected to play this week. The
Raiders also played Sunday without
starting wide receiver Louis Murphy,
who will likely miss one more game
with a bruised contusion near his lung.

their coaches that a concussion is not
just a ding, or getting your bell rung,
but it is an injury to the brain,” said Dr.
Mark Halstead of Washington

Academy of Pediatrics.
Concussions “need to be treated as if
they are a big deal. The brain is pretty
important.”

NL Cy Young winner gave up three hits over
eight innings and struck out 10.
Brian Wilson closed for a save, completing a
surprising romp through the postseason for a
pitching-rich team that waited until the final day
to clinch a playoff spot.
Manager Bruce Bochy enjoys calling his
Giants a ragtag bunch. Maybe Renteria, Cody
Ross, Aubrey Huff and Freddy Sanchez fit that
description. Cut loose by other clubs this season
and before, they all wound up in San Francisco.
But the foundation of this team — for now,
for the foreseeable future — is totally home
grown, built on a deep, talented and young rota-
tion, a rookie catcher named Buster Posey with
huge star potential and their bearded closer.
“They did all right,” Bochy said. “I couldn’t
be prouder of a group. They played with heart
and determination. They weren’t going to be
denied. My staff, they accepted their roles and
had only one mission.”
Renteria reprised his role of postseason star.
His 11th-inning single ended Game 7 of the
1997 World Series and lifted Florida over
Cleveland. Forget that he made the last out in
SPORTS
the 2004 Series that finished Boston’s sweep of
St. Louis — this journeyman’s path led to
another title, helped by his go-ahead home run
in Game 2.
“It was a tough year for me,” the oft-injured
shortstop said. “I told myself to keep working
hard and keep in shape because something is
going to be good this year.”
A team seemingly free of egos did everything
right to take the lead. Ross, the surprising MVP
of the NL championship series, stayed square
and hit a leadoff single and Juan Uribe followed
with another hit up the middle.
That put a runner at second base for the first
time in the game and brought up Huff, who led
the Giants in home runs this year. So what did
he do? He expertly put down the first sacrifice
bunt of his career.
Lee struck out Pat Burrell to keep the runners
put, but Ross began hopping home as soon as
Renteria connected, sending a drive that kept
sailing and landed over the left-center field wall.
And just like that, all the Giants’ past troubles
seemed like ancient history.
Bonds, Mays and several other former San
Francisco stars are still a part of the Giants fam-
ily.
Bonds got a hallowed home-run record, but
questions persist about alleged steroids use. He
visited the Giants clubhouse during the Series
and got a big hand from fans when he took his

His godfather, the 79-year-old Mays, was
supposed to throw out the ceremonial first ball
but was absent because of illness.
The Giants won their previous title when they
played in New York at the Polo Grounds. That’s
where Mays raced back for perhaps the most
famous catch of all time.
They moved West in 1958 and had tried ever
since to escape a sort of big league Alcatraz —
the place where teams get stuck for decades as
also-rans. The Red Sox and White Sox got free,
not so the Cubs and Indians.
So clang the cable car bells. Loudly, too.
Baseball’s best play in the Bay.
Exactly when these Giants turned into world
beaters is hard to say. Trailing San Diego by 7
1/2 games in the NL West on July 4, they mean-
dered in the wild-card race until the stretch run,
winning the division and finishing 92-70.
Come the playoffs, they became dangerous.
Any well-armed team is. Start with Matt Cain
— three postseason starts, a 0.00 ERA. Throw
in Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young winner.
Add Madison Bumgarner, the 21-year-old rook-
ie who helped blank Texas in Game 4.
“This doesn’t make sense. You don’t realize
it. It’s something that’s surreal. But that’s what
we are, World Series champs,” Cain said.

two-time defending NL champion Phillies in
the championship series. Those wins, like this
came on the road.
In the Year of the Pitcher, the World Series
proved the oldest adage in the game: Good
pitching stops good hitting, every time.
Lincecum and the team with the best ERA in
the big leagues completely shut down Josh
Hamilton and the club with the majors’ top bat-
ting average.
Texas hit just .190 in the five games and was
outscored 29-12.
“They beat us soundly,” manager Ron
Washington said. “They deserve it.”
Texas became the latest Series newcomer to
make a quick exit. Houston (2005) and
Colorado (2007) got swept in their first appear-
ances, Tampa Bay (2008) stuck around for just
five games. The AL champion Rangers became
the first team since 1966 to get shut out twice in
a World Series, with big hitters Hamilton,
Vladimir Guerrero and Cruz left taking half-
swings or flailing wildly.
The Rangers’ franchise wrapped up its 50th
season overall, in good hands with Nolan Ryan
as president and part-owner. If only Big Tex
could teach his team to hit, too.
By the final out, Ryan sat there glumly as did
the team’s No. 1 fan, former President George
W. Bush.

How much is fat and how much is muscle?
By Eric Heiden
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
The vast majority of fitness-seek-
ers, even those who are quite knowl-
edgeable, have no idea how to prop-
erly gauge their body composition
— how much of their body weight
is fat and how much is muscle —
which is so important to truly meas-
uring fitness.
Knowing your body mass index is
useful, but BMI, like body weight
alone, doesn’t pinpoint the exact
composition of your body. (To learn
more about BMI visit www.faster-
betterstronger.com.) A body-com-
position test will give you your ratio
of fat to total body mass. Women
typically have a much higher ratio
than men. The minimum considered
safe is 5 percent for males and 12
percent for females. A healthy
body-fat composition is 13-18 per-
cent for men, and 20-24 percent for
women.
There are several accurate means
of assessing your body composition
or fat percentage.
1. Bioimpedance is now a feature
on many home bathroom scales.
This technology gauges your body
composition by measuring electri-
cal signals as they pass through fat
and lean mass. Fat offers higher
internal resistance than lean body
mass; likewise, if you’re dehydrat-
ed, your body will offer more resist-
ance to the current. To ensure the
greatest accuracy in tracking your
progress, always drink eight ounces
of water 15 minutes before stepping
on the scale, and weigh yourself at
the same time every day and under
the same circumstances (for exam-
ple, just after rising instead of after
a number of different workouts).
2. Skin fold tests are basically the
pinch test, using calipers to precise-
ly measure the amount pinched.
You’ll find these tests offered at per-
formance labs, gyms, spas and
health clubs. They are simple and
quick, but accuracy depends upon
the tester’s experience and the algo-
rithm they use. However, if the
same person tests you over time,
you will have “consistent inconsis-
tencies,” and you can easily and
inexpensively monitor your
progress.
3. Hydrostatic weighing uses your
underwater weight to calculate your
body density and, from that number,
your body-fat percentage. It has a
low margin of error and can be
found at many university health
centers.
4. BOD POD uses air displace-
ment to very accurately measure
your fat percentage as well as your
resting metabolic rate (how many
HEALTH THE DAILY JOURNAL
calories your body burns in a resting
condition). You can probably find a
lab or medical facility that uses this
technology near you. It is a little
more expensive than the methods
previously mentioned, but it’s more
precise. You can find this technolo-
gy at many universities, labs and
medical facilities.
5. Dual-Energy X-Ray
Absorptiometry (DEXA) is a tech-
nology that differentiates lean mass
from fat mass from bone, based on
how these tissues absorb two levels
of X-ray differently. It’s very pre-
cise and reliable and can provide
your total body-fat composition as
well as bone mineral density. It will
even pinpoint the location of fat
deposits. DEXA is considered the
gold standard; the latest body-com-
position research uses this method.
Check with your doctor for an OK
and with your insurance provider (it
may be covered). Many university
health systems offer DEXA.
By testing your body-fat compo-
sition before beginning an exercise
program and as you progress, you
will know when you are losing fat
and gaining lean body mass as you
exercise, and that fuels motivation.
Just don’t test it too often, since
body-fat measurements don’t show
small changes. Every 4 to 8 weeks Knowing your body mass index is useful,but BMI,like body weight alone,
is optimal. doesn’t pinpoint the exact composition of your body.

Love your liver: Natural liver support
By Paulette Millis
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Did you know the liver is the king
of the glands? It’s the largest gland
in the body and is the largest and
most complex organ, having over
500 functions. It weighs just over 1
kilogram and is situated under the
rib cage on the right. It contains
about a quarter of all blood circu-
lating in the body and is the only
organ that can regenerate itself.
The liver produces about one
quart of bile a day, emulsifying and
digesting fatty foods and fat soluble
vitamins A, D, E and K. It regulates
carbohydrate metabolism and
therefore helps balance blood
sugar. The liver manufactures cho-
lesterol, which is necessary for
good health and hormone produc-
tion; it converts thyroid hormone
T4 to T3.
The liver acts like a washing
machine, cleaning out external tox-
ins and byproducts of our own
metabolism. It also metabolizes
alcohol and converts food into the
chemicals the body needs to sustain
life. Liver toxicity may lead to
excess body fat as toxins lodge in
the fat cells.
Signs of liver distress may be
chronic fatigue, depression and/or
irritability, abdominal pain and
swelling, skin problems and/or
itchy skin, chemical sensitivities,
digestive complaints and poor tol-
erance to fatty foods. Hormonal
imbalances, such as mood swings,
PMS, hot flashes and difficulty los-
ing weight may be signs of liver
dysfunction. Liver spots, dark cir-
cles under the eyes, yellowish eyes,
bad breath, nausea, loss of appetite
and pale stools may also be signs of
liver distress.
Toxins may also cause liver over-
load. There are thousands of toxins
Chronic fatigue can be a sign of liver problems.
in cosmetics, body care products,
chemicals used in farming, chemi-
cal food additives, pharmaceutical
drugs, chlorinated and fluoridated
water, car exhaust fumes, indoor
pollutants from chemical cleansers,
paint, carpets and furniture.
Modern food is often processed,
denatured and full of additives,
which greatly contributes to toxin
overload.
Alcohol consumption prevents
the liver from manufacturing diges-
tive enzymes, and hinders the
HEALTH
body’s ability to digest all nutrients.
Your liver processes 95 percent of
the alcohol you drink, at a rate of
only one quarter to one half ounce
per hour.
HOW TO LOVE YOUR LIVER:
• Use a liver cleanse containing
milk thistle and dandelion periodi-
cally to help your liver regenerate.
• Exercise regularly.
• Eat 30-38 grams of fiber per day,
as fiber binds to bile and eliminates
fat-soluble toxins from the body.
• Eat small meals frequently with
good quality protein.
• Include lots of richly colored
fruits and cruciferous vegetables in
your diet. Beets are wonderful heal-
ing foods for the liver (see my
recipe below for beet salad).
Cabbage family veggies include
broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, col-
lards and cauliflower. Green veg-
gies and beets are particularly
good.
• Eat sulphur-containing foods,
such as garlic, onions and eggs.
Tuesday • Nov. 2, 2010 17
• Use herbs and spices like
turmeric, cinnamon, licorice root,
curcumin and artichoke.
• Use supplements to enhance
liver function, such as alpha lipoic
acid, chlorophyll and spirulina, B
vitamins, in particular choline and
inositol, which help prevent fat
accumulation and maintain choles-
terol balance.
• Use digestive enzymes, aci-
dophilus, wheat grass juice,
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids,
Vitamin E and a good quality mul-
tivitamin and mineral containing
zinc and selenium.
• Avoid smoking, caffeine and
alcohol.
• Drink 2 liters of water daily or
make herbal teas using dandelion,
nettle leaves and other health-
enhancing herbs.

Docs help make pot available in California
By Lisa Leff
and Marcus Wohlsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Fourteen years since
Californians passed the first-in-the-nation med-
ical marijuana law, pot is not just for the sick.
Hundreds of medical marijuana doctors, operat-
ing without official scrutiny, have helped make
it available to nearly anyone who wants it.
They are practicing a lucrative and thriving
specialty, becoming the linchpins of a billion-
dollar industry. And yet they do not have to
report to whom they recommend the drug to,
how many referrals they give or for what ail-
ments.
“There is something inappropriate about doc-
tors being the gatekeepers,” said Timmen
Cermak, president of the California Society of
Addiction Medicine. “They are secretaries here
... All they are doing is telling the police to keep
their hands off.”
As voters go to the polls Tuesday to decide if
they want California to be the first to legalize
recreational pot use and sales, the medical mar-
ijuana system they helped establish in 1996 has
effectively become a legal cover to smoke pot.
The system also stands as a cautionary exam-
ple for other states crafting their own laws.
Among them are Arizona and South Dakota,
which have medical marijuana on Tuesday’s
ballot.
Under California’s law, medical doctors and
osteopaths can recommend the drug for any ill-
ness “for which marijuana provides relief,” a
category that has come to encompass condi-
tions such as alcoholism, anxiety, asthma and
insomnia.
Obtaining approval in the other 13 states that
allow pot for medical use is far more difficult.
Those states limit the drug to residents suf-
HEALTH THE DAILY JOURNAL
sites. Interviews with clinic managers or doctors
who own the clinics provided additional names.
The AP’s list of 233 doctors is not exhaustive,
nor can it be, given the lack of information with
the state.
An analysis of the names and state medical
board files showed that most marijuana doctors
on the list have clean records.
But there were also 68 physicians who have
run afoul of regulators. Some of the disciplinary
actions against them included fraud, mis-pre-
scribing drugs, abusing prescription or illicit
drugs themselves, as well as and negligence.
The pot practitioners with blemished back-
grounds include:
• A San Francisco doctor who received four
years probation after she failed to heed a psy-
chiatrist’s request to reconsider her marijuana
recommendation to a 19-year-old patient suffer-
ing from depression. The patient committed
suicide six months later. The doctor now oper-
ates medical marijuana practices in eight cities.
She declined to discuss the case.

There were some talented players
during those times, but not enough to
give the Giants much of a shot of win-
ning a world championship.
All those guys can now smile
because the San Francisco Giants have
finally won the World Series.
This is for the victims and survivors
of the 1989 earthquake. Even if the
Giants had a remote chance of beating
a loaded A’s team, there was no way it
was going to happen after the quake
before Game 3 in 1989. The City was
crumbling and on fire, but it brought a
kinship and brotherhood out among
San Franciscans as well as the Bay
Area as a whole. Now when the next

by the ’89 quake will have memories
to erase the last one because the San
Francisco Giants have finally won the
World Series.

field job to Andres Torres, never once
(at least publicly) whined about his
position. From all accounts, he contin-
ued to work hard and prepare for his
time to play. It came Thursday night
when he laced a two-run triple during
the Giants’ seven-run eighth and a
start in center field in the title-clinch-
ing Game 5.
Renteria seemed to be injured all
year long and that, combined with a
$9 million dollar contract, made him a
target of fans. Renteria has found the
fountain of youth, drawing on his

The suit, filed in San Mateo County
Superior Court Monday, claims Pacific
Gas and Electric is responsible for negli-
gence, property damage, battery, inten-
tional infliction of emotional distress,
loss of consortium, creating a private
and public nuisance and trespassing.

a preliminary hearing.
In a separate hearing, Niesha Marie
Taylor, 26, sought and was denied bail.
Like Wise, Turner bailed out of cus-
tody on a $25,000 bond shortly after
her arrest. However, authorities who
had already hiked other fire scam sus-
pects’ bail to $100,000 put out a war-
rant for her arrest. She was apprehend-
ed in San Francisco after being pulled
World Series titles in Florida and St.
Louis to be the all-around threat he
was in his youth. All he did was go
out and win the World Series MVP.
At least Rowand and Renteria are on
the team, which can’t be said for Zito.
He was left off the post-season roster
after his meltdown on the penultimate
day of the season against the Padres.
But much like Rowand, you haven’t
heard much from Zito, but that is not
to diminish what he did this season —
which was arguably his best since
joining the Giants. He won nine
games and at times looked like a Cy
Young winner of old.
Zito, Rowand, Renteria can feel sat-
isfied they made a contribution
because the San Francisco Giants have
finally won the World Series.
This is for Aubrey Huff, Pat Burrell
and Cody Ross, three guys other
teams didn’t seem to want. Huff had a
down year in 2009 and no other teams
expressed interest in his services. The
Giants did.
Pat Burrell was released by Tampa
Bay and at home sitting on his couch,
wondering if any team would want
him. The Giants did.
Cody Ross was put on waivers by
the Florida Marlins. A one-time
Marlin prospect, he was essentially
thrown on the scrap heap. Who would
want this guy? The Giants did.
Now all three can say they’re cham-
pions because the San Francisco
Giants have finally won the World
Series.
This is for Tim Lincecum, Matt
Cain, Jonathan Sanchez and Madison
Bumgarner. A home-grown staff that
validated general manager Brian
Sabean’s obsession with pitching. This
rotation was the key reason the San
Francisco Giants have finally won the
World Series.
This is for Sabean, Bruce Bochy and
Dave Righetti, who stuck to their guns
despite being fired millions of times
The events of Sept. 9 “forever changed
the lives of a San Bruno community,”
claims the suit which says PG&E both
could have prevented the disaster and
“inexplicably” took nearly two hours to
shut off the “massive blowtorch.”
Residents of the affected neighborhood
“were immediately homeless, left in
excruciating physical and psychological
pain and scarred, physically and emo-
tionally, for life,” the suit states.
The goal now is to hold the utility
over in a traffic stop.
Taylor actually had dual hearings.
After being denied a bail reduction in the
morning, she returned to court that after-
noon for further arraignment. Taylor
pleaded not guilty and did not waive her
right to a speedy trial. She returns to
court Nov. 15 for a preliminary hearing
and remains in custody.
Wise and Taylor are two of several
people charged with fraud and related
crimes after the deadly Sept. 9 gas
explosion and fire in San Bruno.
According to prosecutors, Wise went
to the victim relief center seeking a
$1,000 Visa card by saying she was a
DATEBOOK
by the public. Sabean drew the ire of
Giants fans when the first move he
made was trading Matt Williams for
Jeff Kent among others. He even
uttered his famous, “I am not an
idiot,” remark following that move.
Over the next decade-plus, people
have questioned his moves and his
constant craving for elite pitching.
Guess he knows what he’s doing.
Bochy wasn’t aggressive enough,
relied too much on non-performing
veterans. Righetti had lost it and was
not the guy to handle the Giants’
young, dominant pitching.
Guess these guys can stay around
for a while because the San Francisco
Giants finally won the World Series.
This is for the media who took their
shots at the team, management, coach-
ing and players throughout the year
and now gush about the Giants. I
admit it, I was one of them. But now,
it’s all love because the San Francisco
Giants finally won the World Series.
This is for the fans — native San
Franciscans, Bay Area fans, New York
fans and those scattered about the
world. Because let’s face it, the Giants
are more than just a Bay Area brand
or a national brand, the team is a glob-
al brand. People around the world are
rocking Giants hats, living and dying
with their team from Sacramento to
Singapore.
And for those New York Giants
fans, who stuck by the team when it
moved West, you can finally die happy
because the San Francisco Giants have
won the World Series.
So snatch up all the World Series
gear you can get your hands on, save
all your ticket stubs, your crazy hair,
foam fingers, pom poms, rally rags.
Save it all because when you’re old
and gray, you’ll get to say the San
Francisco Giants finally won the
World Series.
responsible for their loss and distress,
Nastari said.
“You can’t truly appreciate the depth
of the physical and emotional pain these
people are suffering until you sit down
and listen to their stories. We are here to
make sure PG&E faces the reality of
these horrors,” Nastari said.
PG&E did not immediately respond to
a request for comment about the suits.
The complaint comes on the heels of
roughly a dozen other lawsuits alleging
PG&E was negligent and liable, includ-
ing suits on behalf of families who lost
loved ones. Eight people died during and
after the fire.
The suits are a mix of wrongful death,
negligence and strict product liability
claims. The last argues PG&E is liable if
the pipe that burst was found to be
defective, even if the company took
steps to ensure its safety.
The suit filed yesterday claims PG&E
knew of the gas leak but failed to
respond to reports of gas odors and
equipped the pipeline with only manual
shutoff valves despite it behind beyond
its useful life. PG&E also knew the
pipeline was “fragile and suspect,” the
suit states.
San Bruno resident who suffered hous-
ing and “food” damage. Wise, a San
Francisco resident claimed she lived in
an in-law unit on the property but home-
owners later contacted said there was no
such building.
Taylor is accused, along with Deonte
Jerome Bennett, 25, of Oakland, of also
posing as a victim and lying about her
address to the Department of Motor
Vehicles. Bennett bailed out and is want-
ed on the same $100,000 arrest warrant
on which Taylor was arrested.
Two others were arrested at the same
time as Taylor and Bennett on similar
charges.

New endeavors or means of doing things might pay off more
in the near future than old ways have in the past. If you get
a chance to try something new, it could turn out to be a vast
improvement over your current methods.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Don’t go along with the group
if what they want to do violates your principles or high stan-
dards, regardless of the peer pressure some may place on
you. Stand by your high-mindedness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Instead of being the
disruptor within the household, contribute to the tranquility
of the family. Selfish demands will cause kinfolk to rebel or
behave similarly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Because you have such a
strong personality, it is generally best for you to avoid bossy
types of people. You’ll have little appreciation for being told
what to do, when or how to do it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Be certain that, when taking
on a partner, your counterpart will have as much to offer as
you do. If your deal lacks parity, there won’t be any benefits
for you to share.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Don’t make the same mistake
again by seeking the advice of someone who advised you
poorly previously. Try to think for yourself, but if you can’t find
the answer, be careful to whom you go.
quandary when it upsets everything you try to do today. Clean
up your mess.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - You need to guarantee that you
won’t spoil the fun for everybody else when getting together
with friends should someone be in attendance whom you
don’t like, or you had better opt not to join in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - It’s OK that challenges can
hold some kind of special appeal for you at times, but don’t
deliberately create confrontation just for the fun of it. The
consequences could be costly.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Unfortunately, it could backfire
if you attempt to outdo one of your companions who’s just
about perfect at doing everything. It is likely to be s/he who
ends up taking you to task.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - You can take bets that reckless or
impulsive spending will take you to task tomorrow if you can’t
help yourself today when you purchase something expensive
you really can’t resist.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - There’s a strong possibility that
a situation on which you and your mate hold opposing opin-
ions could arise and become a major impasse if you’re not
careful. Don’t let it out of the box.

Yemen: Insider told Saudis of bomb plot

By Hamza Hendawi
and Ahmed Al-Haj
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN’A, Yemen — Information that
helped thwart the plot of U.S.-bound
mail bombs wired to explode on cargo
planes came from an al-Qaida insider
who was secreted out of Yemen after
surrendering to Saudi authorities,
Yemeni security officials said Monday.
The tip reflects how Saudi Arabia has
worked aggressively for years to infil-
trate al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula,
which is operating in the unruly,
impoverished nation on its southern
doorstep.
The tip came from Jabir al-Fayfi, a
Saudi who was held for years at the U.S.
military prison at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, and was released to Saudi Arabia
in 2007. Soon after, he fled Saudi Arabia
and joined the al-Qaida affiliate in
Yemen, until he turned himself in to
Saudi authorities in late September.
Yemeni security officials said they
believe al-Fayfi may have been a double
agent, planted by Saudi Arabia in
Yemen among al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula militants to uncover their
plots. The officials said that after his
return to the kingdom, he told authori-
ties that al-Qaida was planning to send
bomb-laden packages.
The officials spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to talk to the media. Tribal
leaders in Yemen aware of the situation,
and similarly speaking on condition of
anonymity, confirmed al-Fayfi’s role.
Saudi officials did not respond to calls
for comment.
A cargo plane of Federal Express (FedEx) is seen at the Cologne/Bonn airport near
Cologne,Germany.
Saudi Arabia has been recruiting
informants in the terrorist network and
also has been paying Yemeni tribal
chiefs — and even gives cash to figures
in the Yemeni military — to gain their
loyalty.
President Barack Obama thanked
Saudi King Abdullah, a top U.S. ally, in
a Saturday telephone call for the “criti-
cal role” by Saudi counterterrorism
authorities in uncovering the plot. After
the Saudi alert, two bombs hidden in
packages mailed from Yemen and
addressed to synagogues in Chicago
were discovered Friday on planes tran-
siting through Dubai and Britain.
Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, considered a
REUTERS
key figure in al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula, is the chief suspect behind
assembling the sophisticated mail
bombs, according to U.S. intelligence
officials.
German officials said Monday the
mail bombs contained 10.58 ounces
(300 grams) and 15.11 ounces (400
grams) of the explosive PETN —
enough to cause “significant” damage to
the planes. By contrast, the explosives
that failed to work last Christmas on a
Detroit-bound airliner used 80 grams of
PETN secreted in the underwear of a
Nigerian passenger. Al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibili-
ty for that.
Fixing security system
cost would be in billions
By Gregory Katz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The technology exists to safeguard the
world’s air transport system against threats like the Yemen-
based mail bombs, but the cost may be too high to be prac-
tical.
Analysts warn that the cost of screening every piece of air
cargo in a bid to prevent terrorists from downing airliners
might bankrupt international shipping companies, hobble
already weakened airlines and still not provide full protec-
tion.
“In a worst case, it would stop world trade,” said James
Halstead, a longtime consultant with the Aviation
Economics firm. “UPS and FedEx would probably go bust.
We’d have a full-disaster scenario.”
The cost of the extra effort, he said, “would be almost too
much to consider.”
Many countries already conduct extensive checks of
cargo, Halstead said. But the increasingly sophisticated tech-
nology used by terrorist groups makes further refinements
extremely difficult.
Authorities “do as much checking as they can in many
places, but it’s the danger of these small items that is the
problem,” he said.
The problem is compounded by the frequent use of pas-
senger flights to carry cargo, some of which has not been
properly screened.
In last week’s narrowly averted plot, one device almost
slipped through Britain and the other seized in Dubai was
unwittingly flown on two passenger jets. Investigators were
still piecing together the potency and construction of the two
bombs, which they believed were designed by the top explo-
sives expert working for al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula,
the Yemen-based faction thought to be behind the plot.

Appeals court extends life of gay military policy

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal

Appeals court hints at tossing part of Arizona law
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Arizona’s

Monday as the state’s governor

before the election in which she’s
seeking her first full term.

A divided three-judge panel of the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

request for a stay while it challenges
the trial court’s ruling that the ban
on openly gay service members is
unconstitutional.
The same panel, composed of two
judges appointed by President
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals signaled it was ready to toss
out the provision of Arizona’s law
that criminalizes the failure to carry
immigration papers showing lawful
residency in the United States.
But the three-judge panel didn’t
tip its hand over which way it was
leaning on other provisions of the
state law that touched off a national

new blast; 21 more rumble
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia —
Deafening explosions of hot gas rat-
tled evacuees miles (kilometers)
from an Indonesian volcano
Monday, the latest eruption in a
deadly week. The country reported
increased rumblings at 21 other
active volcanoes, raising questions
about what’s causing the uptick
along some of the world’s most
volatile fault lines.
No casualties were reported in
Mount Merapi’s new blast, which
came as Indonesia struggles to
respond to an earthquake-generated
tsunami that devastated a remote
chain of islands. The two disasters
unfolding on opposite ends of the
country have killed nearly 500 peo-
ple and strained the government’s
emergency response network. In
both events, the military has been
called in to help.
Iraqi Christians mourn
after church siege kills 58
BAGHDAD — After the gunmen
killed the priest and nearly everyone
in the first row, an eerie quiet
descended over the pews. The only
occasional sounds were sporadic
gunfire, the muffled cries of the
hostages and the shouts of Islamic
militants — sometimes over their
cell phones.
Suddenly the lights went out.
Iraqi forces began entering the
building, telling parishioners: “We
will save you.”
Then a shattering blast shook the
church as a suicide bomber set off
his explosives.
By the time the siege of Our Lady
