GOP TURNING NEGATIVE ON ROMNEYS CAMPAIGN
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The man facing kidnapping and
molestation charges after allegedly
snatching a 9-year-old girl from a
San Mateo school campus has been
linked to an unsolved incident at a
Daly City elementary school in
which four girls say a man tried
photographing them from under-
neath bathroom stalls.
In March, six months before 25-
year-old Bradley Mrozek was
arrested for allegedly grabbing a
Parkview Elementary School stu-
dent inside the girls bathroom,
authorities believe he holed up
inside a stall at George Washington
Elementary School in Daly City and
tried photographing young girls as
they used the facilities. On March
16, the girls reported seeing a ash
and fetched a teacher who tried
forcing the man from the stall. He
nally ran from the bathroom and
ed. The case remained unsolved
until the school principal read of
Mrozeks arrest in several bizarre
on-campus incidents and told police
they might want to investigate the
earlier case, too.
The teacher picked Mrozek out of
a photo lineup and a second witness
also supports the identication, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
His photo has not been
released publicly although
Wagstaffe said it may be in com-
ing weeks to see if there are
other cases that come forward.
If you have March and you have
September, dont you think con-
ceivably he could have done some-
thing in the middle? Wagstaffe
said.
On Tuesday, prosecutors added
10 charges to his case including
School abduction linked to other incident

Property owners in downtown San
Mateo will have greater exibility in
what uses are allowed on ground
oors as the City Council unani-
mously voted to relax its retail
requirements and allow for some
ofce uses in spaces that have deep-
er depths.
City staff had recommended man-
dating retail use for storefronts up to
60-feet deep but the Planning
Commission decided at its last
meeting that a 40-foot retail depth
would be enough to maintain the
retail character of downtown.
The council, however, moved
against that recommendation
Monday night and sided with city
staff as property owners will be able
to seek a special-use permit to set
the depth at 40 feet on a case-by-
case basis, Deputy Mayor David
Lim wrote the Daily Journal in an
email.

The countys top nancial ofcer
should be appointed by county
supervisors rather than chosen by
voters because it is more an admin-
istrative than policy-making posi-
tion, according to proponents who
hope San Mateo Countys electorate
agree on the Nov. 6 ballot.
There is no public opposition to
the idea but
advocates, like
S u p e r v i s o r
Carole Groom,
who helped
move Measure
C on the ballot,
are still making
an effort to drum
up support.

Caltrains numbers for total ridership in August were up 7.8 percent compared to last year from 1.25 million to
1.35 million.The service had about 3,000 more riders a day in August as the average weekday ridership jumped
from 45,204 last year to 48,634 this year.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Caltrains trend of increased rid-
ership has now reached 25 consecu-
tive months as the commuter rail
line set another ridership record for
the month of August.
The numbers are up, in part, due
to the more than 86,000 fans who
rode Caltrain to the San Francisco
Giants 12 home games at AT&T
Park in August, an 11 percent
increase over 2011 numbers.
In June, Caltrain broke an all-time
ridership record when an average of
more than 50,000 riders a day
hopped on the local commuter train,
the most in its 150-year history.
It also had the best July ever and
the numbers for total ridership in
August were up 7.8 percent com-
pared to last year from 1.25 million
to 1.35 million. The service had
about 3,000 more riders a day in
August as the average weekday rid-
ership jumped from 45,204 last year
to 48,634 this year.
More riders increased farebox
revenue in August by 12.1 percent,
according to a staff report the
Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board will hear at its Thursday
meeting.
Ridership has climbed for more
than two years now as Caltrain sets
to embark on a multi-year modern-
ization project that will electrify its
tracks, allowing it to run more trains
when the project is completed in
Caltrain sets another record

A Redwood City construction company was
hit with a $77,878 stipulated judgment for
violating environmental law related to a toxic
explosion in January that sent three trash col-
lectors to the hospital.
The San Mateo County District Attorneys
Consumer and Environmental Unit led the
civil complaint in July alleging that Pellarin
Construction Group and its Chief Executive
Ofcer Arron John Pellarin unlawfully dis-
posed of hazardous waste and engaged in
other unlawful business practices at its Main
Street building.
The stipulated judgment, however, was
entered without ndings or admissions of
wrongdoing, according to a District
Attorneys statement.
The incident started when ve plastic con-
tainers being kept outside the construction
companys building at 1520 Main St. in
Redwood City were thrown in a dumpster by
a supervisor of the company back in
December, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
The containers contained poly carboy;
lithiochrome that contains hydrochloric acid;
chrome chloride; cupric chloride; ferrus chlo-
ride and ferric chloride; Baume hydrochloric
acid; El Diablo Drain Cleaner that contains
sulfuric acid; ammonia; and Marine Resin,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The containers had been kept on the proper-
ty for prolonged periods of time, some for at
least 10 years, according to the civil com-
plaint.
In early January, two Recology employees
unknowingly moved the ve containers of
hazardous waste from the dumpster to their
garbage truck, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Just as the garbage trucks actuator blade
began moving the items to the rear of the
truck, an audible explosion occurred. Turning
from the noise, the two workers just missed
being sprayed by toxic liquid, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
However, the two workers inhaled smoke
emanating from the chemical brew that caused
them both breathing difculties, eye pain and
prolonged and sustained coughing to the point
that one of them vomited, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce. A Recology super-
visor also unknowingly walked through a vis-
ible gas cloud that was still present near the
rear of the truck, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce. The incident sent all three
to the hospital.
Police, re and a hazardous materials crew
were called to the scene and spent hours going
through the contents of the garbage to locate
and identify the toxic substances.
Recology does not handle hazardous mate-
rials but the countys Environmental Health
Department does.
Volatile chemicals cannot be mixed in
trucks, according to a Recology statement.
The District Attorneys Ofce sought reim-
bursement for the cost of cleaning the site and
a permanent injunction against Pellarin to
force it to comply with environmental law.
The civil complaint alleged that the defen-
dant violated environmental protection and
workplace safety laws and regulations, includ-
ing the disposal of hazardous or extremely
hazardous waste at an unauthorized point; not
maintaining a safe work environment; and not
properly training employees.
We are pleased to have been able to coop-
eratively resolve this matter with San Mateo
County. As long-standing citizens of
Redwood City and the county of San Mateo,
we take these matters very seriously. It was
especially important to us to reimburse the
county and all the rst responders for their
costs, the company responded to the Daily
Journal in an email yesterday.
The judgment against Pellarin included
$45,000 in penalties and about $30,000 in cost
reimbursement to the county and responding
agencies.
Company dinged with $77K hazmat judgment

Creating additional parking in down-
town Burlingame could require combin-
ing lots or purchasing land all options
the city will study.
On Monday, the Burlingame City
Council gave the go-ahead to conduct a
study on the feasibility of a downtown
parking structure near Burlingame
Avenue. On Sept. 4, the council held a
study session to discuss an initial analy-
sis of such a structure and requested a
more detailed study. The study approved
Monday with CDM Smith will cost
$31,203 and include a variety of options
including the cost of purchasing proper-
ty and combining lots, said Public Works
Director Syed Murtuza.
Vice Mayor Ann Keighran wanted to
make sure the trafc study took into
account the possible impact of closing
Donnelly Avenue just north of
Burlingame Avenue, which Murtuza
said it would.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel wanted to
take into consideration how far people
will walk from the parking lot to shop.
Also, she was curious about the possibil-
ity of including retail in any develop-
ment. Councilwoman Cathy Baylock
appreciated the idea of mixed use but
noted the city is considering lifting
restrictions on restaurants since the area
isnt currently drawing in enough retail.
If parking is the focus, she didnt want to
lose it. Keighran said the whole point is
to have options. The option of retail
means the possibility of realizing some
revenue in a rather large investment, she
said.
Among the options that will be looked
at are:
Update Lot J with or without the pur-

A 33-year-old Sacramento man
accused of striking and strangling a
prostitute at a South San Francisco motel
because he felt she was not being loyal is
looking at up to four years in prison after
pleading no contest to felony pimping.
Prosecutors sought a straight four-year
term for Marshaun Spencer Jourdan but
Judge Craig Parsons agreed to consider
less at a Nov. 21 sentencing hearing.
South San Francisco police arrested
Jourdan in April on suspicion of pimp-
ing and human trafcking after being
called to the La Quinta Inn by somebody
who overheard a ght. The woman said
Jourdan became violent when he felt she
was not loyal and, on April 24, had beat
and grabbed her by the throat before tak-
ing her money and leaving. Jourdan was
arrested shortly after at a Burlingame
hotel.
According to prosecutors, Jourdan
contacted the 28-year-old Minnesota
woman in 2010 through an online pros-
titute ad and ew her out to California
where she was advertised on
MyRedbook.com. The woman brought
in $3,000 weekly but Jourdan kept near-
ly all the money, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Jourdan remains in custody in lieu of
$500,000 bail.
Pimp facing four years prison term
Police arrest woman believed to
be linked to several thefts in the county
Palo Alto police have arrested a Santa Clara woman who they
believe may be responsible for a number of thefts in the county.
Just after 7:10 a.m. Monday, police responded to a call from a
man who said there was a woman he did not know inside his
parked car in the 500 block of Fulton Street.
Ofcers arrived and arrested 30-year-old Abigail Lee, who had
been going through the contents of the car and had property
stolen from three other victims with her, according to police.
The stolen property included a credit card, a social security
card, a gym membership card and vehicle registration and insur-
ance, police said.
Police said Lee had more than 50 car keys with her, one of
which was in the ignition of the car she was found in.
Investigators believe the key allowed her to enter the car, and
because of that is considered a burglary tool, police said.
Lee was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of stolen
property and attempted vehicle theft, as well as misdemeanor
possession of burglary tools and vehicle tampering, police said.
Police said two of the other victims one from Santa Clara
and one from San Jose told police that someone had burglar-
ized their cars.

Obituary
A Southern California man
accused of beating his wifes head
against a car and the ground after
she requested a divorce over break-
fast in Pacica pleaded not guilty
yesterday to charges of premeditat-
ed attempted murder and domestic
violence.
John Howard Hunt, 67, of Julian,
Calif., is also charged with felony
assault and felony assault causing
great bodily
injury which are
a l t e r n a t i v e
charges to the
more serious
count. He plead-
ed not guilty to
all charges in
Superior Court
yesterday and
set jury trial for
Jan. 4.
Hunt has been held without bail
since his May 5 arrest shortly after
sheriffs deputies were flagged
down by a motorist seeking help for
Hunts bleeding and disoriented
wife.
The altercation between Hunt and
his wife of 21 years began that
morning after the woman
announced over breakfast that she
wanted a divorce, according to the
Sheriffs Ofce.
The couple reportedly drove
down Highway 1 and Hunt pulled
into a cul-de-sac near Montara
where he asked her to get out and
give him a hug. After the embrace,
Hunt slammed his wifes head into
the car several times until she fell to
the ground where he further hit her.
The woman told authorities he
wrapped his belt around her neck
until she couldnt breathe and she
thought she was going to die.
Hunt allegedly pulled his wife
back into the car and took off again,
with her feet dangling from the pas-
senger side door, and she managed
to reach up and turn off the ignition.
The woman reported she grabbed at
a steel water bottle but he grabbed it
away and held her head down while
driving. Once the green Subaru
came to a stop, the profusely bleed-
ing woman ran to another car in
search of help and that motorist
drove to the rst sheriffs unit avail-
able.

A man previously convicted of
contracting fraud was sentenced
yesterday to six months in jail for
passing himself off as a PG&E
affiliate offering contract work
vouchers for allowing him to make
energy conservation improvements
to peoples home.
Michael Phong Nguyen, 43,
instead charged
the victims
credit cards
beyond the
amount of the
voucher and his
hired laborers
did not com-
plete the jobs
p r o p e r l y ,
according to
prosecutors who asked for an
eight-month jail term.
The defense asked for four
months and a judge split the differ-
ence with a six-month term.
Nguyen receives credit of one day
served and must surrender Jan. 12
at the county jail. Nguyen pleaded
no contest in July to felony theft
from an elder victim and misde-
meanor counts of violating a court
order, fraudulently contracting for
home improvement and identity
theft.
On Aug. 13, 2010, Nguyen
reportedly cold-called several resi-
dents and identified himself as
operating the Professional Gas
and Electric Company, an affiliate
of Pacific Gas & Electric. Two
homeowners accepted the voucher
offers and in neither case was the
work completed well.
In one case, workers did one
day of work before abandoning
the job with exposed wires and
damaged stucco. The homeowner
required expensive repairs by a
legitimate contractor. At the time,
Nguyen had a permanent injunc-
tion from San Francisco in 2007
prohibiting him from this same
practice.

Trial opens in nursing student murder trial
OAKLAND A murder trial is underway for a woman
accused of stalking and killing a San Francisco Bay area nurs-
ing student.
Alameda County Prosecutor Butch Ford argued Monday
that Giselle Esteban killed former friend Michelle Le last year
out of jealousy, hatred and rage, because she blamed Le for
ruining her relationship with Scott Marasigan, her daughters
father.
Ford said Esteban texted Marasigan that punishment would
be swift if he didnt cut Le out of his life. Ford also said that
Esteban went to great lengths to hunt Le down, including
stealing a security badge and a class roster from Les nursing
school.
But Estebans defense attorney, Audrea Aura, admitted
while theres a mountain of evidence against her client,
Esteban did not plan to kill Le, but snapped due to extreme
provocation and heat of passion.
Esteban has pleaded not guilty.
Supervisor Wiener wants to crack down on nudity
SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco supervisor, fed up
with the almost-daily displays of nudity in one city neighbor-
hood, introduced legislation Tuesday that would make it ille-
gal to walk around naked on San Francisco streets.
The city allows nudity except in parks, on port property and
in restaurants, but under the ordinance by Supervisor Scott
Wiener, nudity at city plazas, parklets, sidewalks, streets and
public transit would be banned. The legislation would, howev-
er, allow nudity at parades and street festivals.
The legislation was spurred by an increase in nudity in the
Castro neighborhood, where nudists gather almost every day
at a plaza, Wiener said.
Wiener proposed a law last year that would have required
nudists to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if
they take a seat in public, but he hoped that the situation in the
Castro would resolve itself before he proposed a ban on nudi-
ty.

NEW YORK Americans are
expected to spend more during whats
traditionally the busiest shopping sea-
son of the year, but theyre not exactly
ready to shop til they drop like they
have been in the past two years.
The National Retail Federation, the
nations largest retail trade group, said
Tuesday that it expects sales during the
winter holiday shopping period in
November and December to rise 4.1
percent this year. Thats more than a
percentage point lower than the growth
in each of the past two years, and the
smallest increase since 2009 when sales
were up just 0.3 percent.
The projections are an important
indicator for retailers that depend on
the last two months of the year for up to
40 percent of their annual sales. But the
estimates also offer valuable insight for
economists who closely watch con-
sumer spending, which accounts for up
to 70 percent of economic activity.
The holiday shopping season is one
gauge of not only the shopping habits,
but also the mindset of the average
American during what has turned out to
be a slow and uneven economic recov-
ery. Right now, people are feeling better
about rising home prices and a rebound-
ing stock market, but job growth is still
weak and prices for everything from
food to gas are higher.

NACO, Ariz. A Border Patrol
agent was shot to death Tuesday in
Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the
first fatal shooting of an agent since a
deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican
bandits that spawned congressional
probes of a botched government gun-
smuggling investigation.
The agent, 30-year-old Nicholas Ivie,
and a colleague were on patrol in the
desert near Naco, about 100 miles from
Tucson, when gunre broke out shortly
before 2 a.m., the Border Patrol said.
The second agent was shot in the ankle
and buttocks, but was reportedly in sta-
ble condition.
Authorities have not identified the
agent who was wounded, nor did they
say whether any weapons were seized at
the site of the shooting.
At a news conference in Naco, an FBI
ofcial said the agency still was process-
ing the crime scene and that it might take
several days to complete. The FBI and
the Cochise County Sheriffs Ofce,
which is also investigating, declined to
say whether investigators have recov-
ered guns or bullet casings.
No arrests have been made, but
authorities suspect that more than one
person red at the agents.

As the Supreme Court revisits the use
of race in college admissions next week,
critics of afrmative action are hopeful
the justices will roll back the practice. A
new report out Wednesday offers a big
reason for their optimism: evidence from
at least some of the nine states that dont
use afrmative action that leading public
universities can bring meaningful diver-
sity to their campuses through race-neu-
tral means.
That conclusion is vigorously disputed
by supporters of race-based afrmative
action, including universities in states
like California which cannot under state
law factor race into admissions deci-
sions. The new report, by the Richard
Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the
Century Foundation and prominent
advocate of class-based affirmative
action, calls those states race-neutral
policies largely successful. The
University of California and others call
them a failure thats left their campuses
inadequately representative of the states
they serve.
Kahlenberg also acknowledges that
highly selective universities like UCLA
and the Universities of California-
Berkeley and Michigan havent recov-
ered from drop-offs in minority enroll-
ments after voters in those states out-
lawed racial preferences.
But in most places, the report argues, a
combination of measures aggressive
outreach, de-emphasizing of standard-
ized tests, afrmative action based on
class instead of race, and even getting rid
of legacy preferences that mostly benet
whites has allowed minority repre-
sentation on their campuses to recover to
previous levels.
Study: Race-neutral admissions can work

WASHINGTON On the eve of the
rst presidential debate, the early autumn
Republican reviews are in for Mitt
Romneys presidential campaign, and
they are not pretty.
In some states, candidates who share
the Nov. 6 ballot with the former
Massachusetts governor already have
taken steps to establish independence
from him. Party strategists predict more
will follow, perhaps as soon as next week,
unless Romney can dispel fears that he is
headed for defeat despite the weak econo-
my that works against President Barack
Obamas prospects.
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley
Barbour, who headed the Republican
Party when it won control of Congress in
the 1990s, said disapprovingly over the
weekend that Romneys campaign has
been focusing on polling, political process
and campaign management. Its about
everything but the issues. Its about every-
thing but Obamas policies and the fail-
ures of those policies, he said.
Matthew Dowd, who was a senior polit-
ical adviser to President George W. Bush,
said the Romney campaign was almost
guilty of political malpractice over the
summer and during the two political con-
ventions. It left the playing eld totally to
Barack Obama and the Obama campaign
and basically set the tone for the nal 60
days of this campaign, which put them
behind after the conventions, said Dowd,
who worked for Democrats before signing
on with Bush, a Republican.
He and Barbour both spoke on ABC.
Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to
Romney, defended the campaign in a con-
ference call with reporters on Monday.
Our message is very clear, which is we
cannot afford four more years like the last
four years. And we need a real recovery,
we need policies that are going to help,
he said.
Republicans say there is time for
Romney to steady his campaign but only
if he acts quickly.
Recent public polls show Obama mov-
ing out to a modest lead in most if not all
of the battleground states where the race
will be decided. But Republicans with
access to Romneys polling data said
Tuesday that he has begun regaining some
support among independent voters,
enabling him to cut into the presidents
advantage.
It is unclear how long congressional
candidates are willing to wait for a turn-
around. Several Republican strategists
point to this week, which includes the
debate and Fridays release of September
unemployment gures.
Some Republicans who are in periodic
contact with the campaign say Romneys
strategists have concluded that a recent
uptick in public optimism, coming on top
of Obamas success to date, complicates
the attempt to defeat the president solely
on the basis of pocketbook issues.
In recent days, Romney has emphasized
criticism of the presidents foreign policy,
particularly in the Middle East, where a
terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, left Ambassador
Christopher Stevens and three other
Americans dead.
Barbour, echoing what others say pri-
vately, was dismissive of the suggestion
that Romney should spread his campaign
focus. The public is concerned about
how backwards the Middle East has gone
during the last year. But theyre much
more concerned about their children hav-
ing jobs, about them being able to pay for
their health insurance, for $3.85 gasoline,
he said.
Privately, GOP strategists also agreed
with Barbours public statement that
Romneys campaign has been unable so
far to settle on a single, overarching theme
to tie together its advertising, the rhetoric
of its candidate and appearances by surro-
gates.

Mitt Romney greets audience members at a campaign rally in Denver, Colo.
Part I: Aw-shucks time
Setting low expectations can help a so-so performance seem like
a success.
So in the days before their rst meeting, President Barack Obama
called Republican challenger Mitt Romney a good debaterand
deemed his own skills just OK.His aides groused that Romney
got more rehearsal time, while Obama was busy being
president.
For his part, Romney praised Obama as a very eloquent, gifted
speaker.And, despite his numerous GOP primary match-ups,
Romney noted,Ive never been in a presidential debate like this.
Part II: Tension city
The rst of the three presidential debates starting at 9 p.m.
EDT in Denver should bring the biggest audience of any
campaign event. More than 52 million TV viewers watched
Obamas initial match-up with John McCain in 2008.
Despite all the rehearsal, somethings bound to take the
candidates by surprise, and theyll be judged by how they
improvise on the y.Talk about tension city,as former President
George H.W. Bush described it.
But maybe Romney and Obama should each take a deep breath.
After all, how likely is it that either one will commit a big enough
blunder to overshadow months of campaigning? Studies nd
viewers tend to see the guy they preferred going into the debate
as the winner when its over.
When is it that anybody performs so badly that youd just say,
Oh, my God, I would never vote for this person?said Rutgers
University professor Richard Lau, who studies how voters decide.
Someone would have to seem so incompetent.Thats not going
to happen.
Part III: The spin
Its not over when the candidates walk off stage.
Campaign aides and big political names will descend on the
spin roomto tell reporters and after-debate TV audiences that
the other guy blew it, and why.
Viewers may feel theyre judging what they saw and heard for
themselves. But campaign strategists think getting the spin right
goes a long way toward deciding who won.
According to Tad Devine, who was a top adviser to Democratic
candidates Al Gore and John Kerry, pre-debate expectations and
post-debate spin can take on more signicance than what
happened in the debate itself.
Each one of those three is critically important,he said.

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy is
looking more resilient, thanks in part to
encouraging signs for the two most expensive
purchases most Americans make: cars and
homes.
Cheap loans and a bounty of fuel-efcient
models enticed people to buy new vehicles at
a brisk pace last month. And the nation
enjoyed another year-over-year surge in home
prices in August a sign that the housing
industry is making a sustained comeback.
Both trends reect rising condence in the
economy. More families are replacing aging
cars. And rising home prices are leading more
would-be buyers to conclude that a home is a
good investment.
Two surveys last week also reported
improving consumer condence.
The apparent progress could benefit
President Barack Obama, who faces off with
Mitt Romney on Wednesday in an economy-
focused debate just ve week ahead of the
election.
Despite the brightening auto and housing
industries, the broader American economy is
still struggling. It grew at a meager 1.3 percent
annual rate in the April-June quarter. Most
economists foresee little strengthening the rest
of the year.
Hiring remains too sluggish to reduce high
unemployment, which is at 8.1 percent. The
manufacturing sector is struggling to grow
consistently. Workers pay is lagging ination.
A dismal European economy has cut demand
for U.S. exports.
And the economy remains at risk of falling
off a scal cliff early next year. Thats when
tax increases and deep spending cuts take
effect unless Congress reaches a budget deal.
If those measures do take effect, the economy
could fall into recession.
Yet many Americans appear to be looking
past the economys troubles.
Surveys by the private Conference Board
and the University of Michigan show that
while consumers are anxious about current
conditions, theyre more optimistic about the
future.
That helps explain why Americans are
expected to step up spending during this
years holiday shopping season. The National
Retail Federation, the largest retail trade
group, predicts sales will rise 4.1 percent.
Thats less than in each of the past two years
but more than the average growth over the past
10. And it extends a growth trend that began
after holiday sales sank 4.4 percent in 2008 in
the midst of the recession.
Increased consumer condence is also a fac-
tor in this years auto sales gains. On Tuesday,
automakers reported solid increases in
September. Total sales for the month are
expected to exceed 1.1 million vehicles, up 11
percent from September 2011.
Analysts expect sales to total about 14.3
million this year, up from 12.8 million last
year. Sales peaked at 17 million in 2005
before hitting a 30-year low of 10.4 million
during the recession in 2009.

Investigative skills
Editor,
Univision News found 57 unreport-
ed rearms from Fast and Furious.
How can this be? The Department of
Justice (DOJ) after months of investiga-
tion found only three weapons. They
have nally found an ofcial to blame.
However, no charges were made
against this ofcial.
Univision was able to identify many
of the major players. Univision identi-
ed Mexican citizens murdered with
these weapons. It appears that
Univision has better investigative skills
and abilities than the DOJ. Perhaps we
should disband DOJ and hire
Univision. Think of the billions of tax
dollars we could save.

Letter to the editor
I
f there is ever a time when it was
appropriate to hold your nose and
vote, it is in the case of
Proposition 30. The path this particular
proposition took to make it on the bal-
lot was lled with stench. Its essential
message is: vote for this proposition to
raise your sales tax a quarter-cent for
four years and income tax on those
making more than $500,000 a year or
face huge cuts to education to the tune
of about $6 billion. It didnt have to be
this way. Education could have been
funded in the last state budget cycle and
the option would have been to raise
these taxes or face cuts to any other
state program. Yet the governor knows
education is a soft spot for many and
the specter of untenable cuts, higher
class sizes, laid-off teachers and shorter
school years is too scary for the average
voter. And so there is this terrible
choice.
It is appealing to say no to the propo-
sition on principle alone, and send a
message that the state needs to get its
house in order. Allocating money to
high-speed rail and a Delta tunnel are
ambitious projects but costly. And tak-
ing a small step toward pension reform
that wont see impact for 30 years is
nowhere near the type of reform needed
for the state to meet its bottom line.
The state has cut billions from its budg-
et in the last few years to reect the
new economic reality, yet legislators
and the governor were hoping that the
impact of social media and Facebook
going public, in particular, would some-
how magically cure the states nancial
ills. This is evidence of the states poor
budget judgment, in which it counts on
the booms to get it through the busts,
while overspending during the boom.
That is one major shortfall of the state,
and yet recent propositions to force the
state to live within its means and adopt
a more robust rainy day fund have
failed. So we, the voter, are partly to
blame.
In addition, schools across the state
often fall victim to the states mandated
programs and class sizes with little
exibility in how they can determine
how best to teach our children. That
should change. And yet legislators
spend most of their time conjuring up
hundreds and hundreds of bills every
year that sometimes get signed, and
sometimes dont. Rather than spend
time working on legislation to prove the
value of their jobs, wouldnt it be nice
if more legislators spent time actually
working on funding formulas and
removing the shackles of school man-
dates?
But alas, that is wishful thinking.
Instead, we are faced with the option of
saying no to this proposition and risk-
ing wide-scale cuts to our schools for
up to ve years about one-third of
an average childs time in public educa-
tion or saddling the state with anoth-
er sales tax that will hurt our ability to
compete with other states. And one of
the saddest components of this proposi-
tion is that it will not result in one addi-
tional dime for education, it simply
maintains the status quo. Wed like to
say the choice is clear, but its not. Vote
yes on Proposition 30 for the sake of
our schools and yes, local school
districts are making plans for a catas-
trophe if it does not pass. But dont
vote yes with any amount of pride in
our state or its governance.
Vote yes on Proposition 30
Childhoods future?
C
hildhood today is defined by the expansion
of experience and the contraction of positive
adult contact ... Children and adults pass
each other in the night at ever increasing speeds, and the
American social environment becomes increasingly lonely
for both. Richard Louv, Childhoods Future.
This column is dedicated to my first great-grandchild,
Savannah, now 6 months old, and to Jon Mays little
daughter celebrating her first
birthday in October.
When I used to drive along
El Camino Real with my 3-
year-old first granddaughter
in her car seat beside me (it
was legal then), she would
often point out something
she wanted me to see.
Grandma, look at that pret-
ty rainbow, she once said
about an arc of color off in
some unknown direction.
Sorry, I cant look now, I
answered. The most impor-
tant thing for me to do is to
look where Im going. After a brief and thoughtful
silence, she said, No, Aunt Col said the most important
thing is love.
Yes, I agreed. You are right. Its very important that
we all love each other. That is the most important thing in
the world. But while were loving each other, we must be
careful to look where were going.
As I thought about this later, the importance of love and
looking where were going says it all when it comes to the
plight of so many children in todays society. The increas-
ing number of children growing up without that all-impor-
tant love and the great unwillingness of so many parents
and other adults (including government leaders) to consid-
er the consequences for the future is threatening a national
disaster of unheard proportions.
Besides children who are obviously unloved (the overtly
abused and neglected), this is evident in the many parents
who love their children only for what they expect the
kids can do for them like make them parents (mom and
dad and society expect it), give the parent the love that
he/she didnt get as a child, be a cute and/or obedient
diversion, make the parents look good through the childs
accomplishments. And they love them as long as they
dont get in the way of the parents activities and goals too
much. And as far as many of our government leaders are
concerned (and society in general), professed interest in
this most precious national resource is merely lip service.
As Madeline Levine, Ph.D., wrote in her new book,
Teach Your Children Well: No parent should tolerate
what has become a culturally normalized form of child
abuse sleep deprivation, repetitive stress injuries from
early and excessive athletics, overwhelming academic
stress and a complete disregard for the known protective
factors of child development.
What a child needs most is at least one adult (more is
better) who bonds with him/her. Though, at times, the par-
ents may wish they were doing something else, they
believe strongly enough and care enough for the welfare of
the child to devote a lot of their time to the child. Our
deep desire to connect with our children doesnt pay off if
we dont give our kids enough time to actually do the con-
necting. Christine Carter, Ph.D., Raising Happiness.
The fact that this is happening for so few children does not
mean that it is not essential for the optimum development
of the child. Many parents and our supporting institutions
seem to have cavalierly gone off to pursue their own inter-
ests a truly dismaying and serious threat to the future of
our children and our society as a whole.
You wonder what is in store for well-loved children
when, as they grow up, they have to deal with so many
who have not been as fortunate and with institutions that
make it more difficult for them to make their way to pro-
ductive adulthood. What chance will they have to see a
rainbow through the numerous dark clouds of indifference
and neglect that will hover over their horizons? As M.
Scott Peck wrote in The Road Less Traveled: The feel-
ing of being valuable ... is essential to mental health and a
cornerstone of self-discipline. It is the direct product of
parental love ... When children have learned through the
love of their parents (and other adults) to feel valuable,
it is almost impossible for the vicissitudes of adulthood to
destroy their spirit.
During all of these ensuing years, Savannahs mother
(the 3-year-old who saw the rainbow) has been surrounded
by many people from whom she has experienced an out-
pouring of love and attention and who have tried to help
her make sense of the world and keep her spirit intact.
Now its her turn (with the help of Savannas daddy and
the rest of us) to carry on and do what she can to help her
child feel loved and valuable.

Editorial
T
ime and time again, there are
propositions that are well-
meaning and sound great, but
fall short in their efcacy and provide
greater risks than what the authors
intended. Proposition 38 is one of those
propositions.
Proposition 38 would raise personal
income tax for a large range of incomes
beginning with a single ler making
$7,316 a year and arc higher for those
making more than $2.5 million a year.
It would result in an estimated $10 bil-
lion in additional revenue for schools
and would be guaranteed funding.
However, that could mean state legisla-
tors could simply reduce its funding,
resulting in a net gain of zero. And
most of the benet would not go into
effect this scal year so schools would
still have to continue with plans for
drastic cuts right now.
Vote no on Proposition 38

NEW YORK Mixed signals on the
world economy tugged on major stock
indexes Tuesday.
The countrys largest fertilizer compa-
ny, Mosaic, said weak demand from
China and India have hurt its prots.
Mosaic, Dupont and stocks of other com-
panies in the materials industry fell.
But utilities and health care stocks,
where investors often retreat in a slow-
growing economy, helped pull the
Standard & Poors 500 index above the
break-even mark.
The S&P 500 index gained 1.26 to
close at 1,445.75. The Dow Jones indus-
trial average dropped 32.75 points to
13,482.36. Dupont led the Dow lower,
sinking 86 cents to $49.50.
The market could remain quiet until
the government gives its monthly jobs
report on Friday, said Paul Zemsky, chief
investment ofcer of multi-asset strate-
gies at ING Investment Management.
Economists expect the unemployment
rate increased to 8.2 percent in
September from 8.1 percent in August.
Zemsky said a surprise swing up or
down could change the direction of the
stock market and the Presidential elec-
tion.
Indexes took a turn lower at midday
after Spains prime minister said that hes
not preparing a request for a bailout loan.
Traders have been anticipating that the
Spanish government would ask for help
for nearly a month. Spain needs to ask for
money from Europes bailout fund before
the European Central Bank can start buy-
ing Spanish government bonds.
Mosaic reported net income and sales
early Tuesday that fell short of analysts
estimates. The company blamed slump-
ing demand for its fertilizer overseas as
well as hurricanes for slower production.
The results pushed the companys stock
down $2.25 to $55.76.
In other trading, the Nasdaq composite
rose 6.51 points to 3,120.04.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
U.S. Treasury note slipped to 1.61 per-
cent from 1.63 percent late Monday after
Spains prime minister, Mariano Rajoy,
said a bailout request wasnt coming.

American says installation
job caused seat snafu

In the past week, rows of seats have

of which made emergency landings.
American said Tuesday the problem
was caused by improper installation of a
clamp used to attach each row of three
seats to tracks on the aircraft oor.
The airline had planned to inspect
eight of its Boeing 757 jets, but says
instead it already inspected 36 and plans
to check 11 more. All have the same
model of seats in the main cabin.

A walk onto the College of San
Mateo football eld on Monday may
have prompted a couple people to
call the CSM maintenance depart-
ment.
Two days after the Bulldogs suf-
fered their rst loss of the season, a
29-28 defeat to San Joaquin Delta
College, the scoreboard still display-
ing the score almost like it stayed
there the entire weekend waiting for
the players to show up on Monday.
But it wasnt an electrical mal-
function Tell the Truth Monday
at CSM began with the Bulldogs
reminded of how important every
single play against solid competition
can be.
We had too many mistakes, said
Tim Tulloch, CSM defensive coordi-
nator and assistant head coach. The
mistakes that we made, they capital-
ized on them. Theyre a good team
and when you make mistakes
against a good team its going to cost
you. We have to do a better job of
protecting the football and executing
during crunch time.
Weve made a lot of these mis-
takes over the rst four games. Its
just, we were able to nd a way to
win. And as the teams get tougher,
you dont always have that luxury. I
think it was good. What Delta
showed us was that were not going
to win conference until we deal with
those things, get them cleaned up,
which is the focus for the next two
weeks.
The Bulldogs wont hit the foot-
ball eld this weekend against an
opponent. Instead, theyll have two
weeks to battle themselves, both
physically and mentality, in hopes of
learning from the 1-point loss and
preparing for the 5-week war that is
the Coast Conference.
But step one in that process is tak-
ing Saturdays loss and tackling it
head-on.
How we respond to it means
everything, Tulloch said. This is a
team that, it could light an absolute
re under our players and could be
the best thing that could ever happen
to us.
The locker room was silent, said
CSM defensive lineman Valentino
Coleman about Saturdays loss. No
one said a word. You could feel,
especially with the sophomores,
everyones heart was broken. People
wanted to cry. People were crying. It
was a hard loss.
Coleman said the majority of the
CSM players were content with try-
ing to put the past behind them and
look forward. But when they hit the
practice eld on Monday, the play-
ers were greeted by a scoreboard
that still read just how it did when
the Bulldogs waltzed into the locker
room last Saturday.
All the defensive players were
looking at that like, no, thats never
going to happen again, especially in
our backyard, on our field,
Coleman said. People are nally
realizing that its going to take more
than just talent to win games.
If we put it behind us and dont
change anything, itll be the biggest
mistake we can make, Tulloch said.
Tulloch said there might have
been a dozen mistakes in Saturdays
loss. But the two most glaring hap-
pened on special teams. First, the
safety in the rst quarter happened
on a punt attempt. And second, the
missed eld goal that would have
given CSM the lead with less than a
minute to play in the game was wide
left those ve points meant the
difference between a win and a loss.
Delta also outgained CSM on
offense. Coleman said there are
improvements to be made.
On the eld, there are a lot guys
still getting used to the speed of the
game, he said. I believe there are a
lot of players that are just now get-
ting their feet wet. We do give up a
lot of yards, but its all correctable.
We just have to go back, watch lm
and get better.
Still, the bend-but-dont-break
attitude of the defense has produced
ve of northern Californias top 20
tacklers.
Were looking at the rst half and
its the good, the bad and the ugly,
Tulloch said. What did we do well?
What didnt we do well? Were sit-
ting there looking at our defense and
if Im any of these teams [in the
Coast Conference], where are they
going to attack us? What do they see
on tape? And we better x those
things. We dont have too much
time.
Coleman said he and the rest of
the Bulldogs understand that time is
of the essence. All of CSMs next
ve opponents are ranked no lower
than 14th in NorCal.
Staying hungry, Coleman said
when asked what his teams primary
focus is during the bye week. Dont
ease up at all. If anything, press the
gas pedal a little harder oor it.
There is no time to hold back.
Especially for us sophomores, even
the freshman. There is no time to
hold back. Its all or nothing. If we
have 60 minutes of hell, we take it
one play at a time. Thats what we
really have to live though.

The table is set for the College of
San Mateo womens water polo
team. And head coach Randy
Wright said hes hoping his players
treat it like a four-course buffet.
After dismantling Laney College
in the Coast Conference opener 17-
5 last week, the Bulldogs have a
date with Merced College on
Wednesday. And with the middle of
the conference pack being so
bunched up, Wright isnt sugar-
coating the fact that the Merced
game is huge.
Its going to be a really good
game, Wright said. You just hope
in a big game, if you dont win, you
dont beat yourself and the other
team plays well enough to beat you.
So, I dont want to turn around and
say, man, we gave the team 20
turnovers and didnt control the ball
and thats the reason why we lost.
Were not going out there to lose.
Were going out there to win this
game.
CSM has seen Merced twice
already this season both times
resulting in losses for the Bulldogs.
But that was in non-conference play
a win on Wednesday would more
than make up for those two.
Its going to be important to
come and score, Wright said. We
dont want to get behind. We want
to go out there and establish our
defense, force them to make mis-
takes and make it harder on them
because when youre the team that
has to come back, its a lot more dif-
cult then just hunkering down and
playing.
CSM did a lot of hunkering
against Laney. The Bulldogs came
out on re and scored on their rst
six possessions and ultimately rode
an 8-1 rst quarter lead to the victo-
ry.
We knew that Laney wouldnt be
a real tough test so we set out some
goals in terms of efciency, Wright
said. We wanted to come out and
score on ve of our rst nine pos-
sessions. And we wanted to score on
ve of our rst seven shots. So I
kind of put those parameters on our
game and forced them to execute,
which was a good thing it makes
it a little more pressure-packed. It
was a positive thing. It forced the
extra pass, it forced the better shot
on target and thats what were
preparing for.
Erica Staben led the CSM offense
with six goals. Jasmine Zaldivar
added four while speedster Miya
Oto scored a pair. Meaghan
Ramstack, Morgan Gassmann,
Sinclaire Cheong, Andrea Carranza,
Rachel Wright and Kelly Dwyer all
got on the score sheet.
CSMs goal keeper extraordinaire
Daria Kekuewa had 23 saves.
It appears Wright and the
Bulldogs have prepared for this
match-up against Merced from day
one of the season. After two close
losses, Wright said Merced should
be favored by a goal. But playing at
home might even things up for the
Bulldogs.
The one thing we want to focus
on is that none of their best players
beat us, Wright said. We want to
force them to work extra hard. We
want to make sure that we cover up
on our assignments. Nothing comes
easy to the best players and thats
the way it should be.
It will also be important for the
Bulldogs to not waste any of their
scoring opportunities its that
particular mistake that has cost
CSM wins in their previous games
against Merced.
I think the hunger comes from
within, Wright said. I dont think
there is anything I can do in terms of
hunger. There is only so many
things you can do to get your team
hungry. Im just hoping that the
education, the learning increases the
condence. And with increases in
condence, comes more desire to be
hungry. Because its hard to be hun-
gry when you dont know what
youre doing. I hope its a regular,
four-course buffet [against Merced].
I want them that hungry. In the end,
its all about execution in any sport.
Its an important win, Wright
said.
CSM water polo ready for Merced showdown
SPORTS 13
STANFORD There will be no quarter-
back change at Stanford this week. And if
David Shaw had his way, there will be no
questions about the quarterbacks job status
either.
The second-year coach
stood behind redshirt jun-
ior Josh Nunes on
Tuesday, delivering an
unprompted and unscript-
ed message at the begin-
ning of his weekly news
conference that his strug-
gling quarterback will
start for the No. 18
Cardinal (3-1, 1-1 Pac-
12) against Arizona (3-2, 0-2) on Saturday.
The only quarterback change Shaw wants
to see is a change in Nunes play.
Nunes completed 18 of 37 passes for 170
yards and an interception in Stanfords 17-13
loss at Washington last week. The offense
converted 5 of 18 third downs, never scored
a touchdown and looked lost for the first time
since Andrew Luck left.
After last Thursday nights game, Shaw
took exception to a reporter asking if hed
switch quarterbacks. Before anybody had the
chance to ask at Stanford, Shaw squashed the
subject.
Josh is the starting quarterback, Shaw
said. He played well the first game. He
played much better the second game. He
played an OK half against USC, then an out-
standing half against USC and is coming off
a bad game. Were not changing quarter-
backs. That doesnt make any sense to me.
We wanted to bronze his arm and his legs
after USC, and then now I have to answer a
hundred questions about how come were not
changing quarterbacks. Its asinine.
Shaw, Nunes and everybody else on The
Farm recognize the quarterback play has not
been up to Stanfords standard.
While nobody expected Nunes to live up to
Lucks legacy, Shaw wants the quarterback
to complete 60 percent of his passes, not turn
the ball over and manage the running game.
Nunes is 65 of 125 (52 percent) for 785
yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions
in four games.
Dropped balls by receivers have not
helped. Neither has an inconsistent running
game, which racked up a school-record 446
yards on the ground in a 65-21 stampede past
Washington last year but totaled only 68
yards in the loss to the Huskies this season.
Most of that is a product of defenses stack-
ing nine players even 10, at times close
to the line of scrimmage to dare Nunes to
complete passes. And until he does so with
more consistency, Nunes knows that will not
change.
Ive just got to get settled in early, he
said. Its something that, well, now I know.
Outside of a second-half surge highlighted
by a pair of game-changing runs to upset
USC, Nunes arm has been mostly off target
this season. While receivers have created lit-
tle separation and dropped several deep balls,
including Ty Montgomerys miss on the final
possession against Washington, Nunes has
underthrown fades, tossed at the feet of tight
ends across the middle or panicked in the
pocket to take an unnecessary sack.
On one play last week, he underthrew an
uncovered screen pass by 5 yards and
showed a rare display of emotion, pumping
his arms in the air, hitting his hands against
his helmet and yelling in frustration. Facing
fourth and 4 at the Washington 34-yard line
with 2 minutes left, Nunes left a fade route to
6-foot-8 tight end Levine Toilolo incredibly
short, getting the ball intercepted by
Desmond Trufant at the 8 to seal Stanfords
loss.
Shaw attributed some of the setbacks to
mechanics, noting that Nunes has too often
forgotten to keep his weight on his back foot
while going through his progressions, which
has hampered the quarterbacks ability to
generate enough force behind his throws.
Nunes agreed, though he offered a simpler
solution to his struggles.
I just need to throw it better, he said. Its
something thats very fixable.
While some fans took to social media call-
ing for backups Brett Nottingham or Kevin
Hogan already, one place Nunes will not find
any detractors yet is in his locker room.
Shaw emphatically said, I dont overre-
act. Other players backed Nunes even more,
not only putting faith in the quarterback, but
making comparisons that hes not that far off
from his prolific predecessor.

early goals came in transition. Twice she stole
the ball near midpool and barreled in on the
Mills goaltender, always with a defender on

for 9 on the power play, with Chinn scoring
each time.
Its fun being aggressive, Chinn said.
You cant do that in real life, shove someone
out of the way.
Twice, she was in the right place at the right
time, putting home a rebound off the missed
shot of a teammate.
And just to show off her range, Chinn ried
home a goal from the outside wing in the
fourth quarter.
[Chinn] was ready to go and our [defense]
wasnt, Anderson said. You have to double
team her and force someone else to beat you.
Chinn teamed well with Darya Shtykalo,
who assisted on ve of Chinns goals and n-
ished with six assists overall. The Knights got
their other goal from Isik Yildiz.
Despite failing to stop Chinn, Mills did a
good job of hanging tough and staying in the
game. The Vikings jumped out to a quick 1-0
lead on a Saige Daniel fadeaway shot, off an
assist from Kaylene Co. After Hillsdale tied
the game, Mills went up 2-1 when Kristen
Lastofka oated home a shot from the left
wing to the far right corner of the cage.
It would be Mills last lead of the match.
Hillsdale nished the rst period with four
unanswered goals and led 5-2 after the open-
ing eight minutes.
Hillsdale moved ahead 6-2 on a Chinn
power-play goal, but goals from Josefina
Madrigal and Daniel pulled two goals back
for the Vikings, who trailed 6-4 at halftime.
The Vikings stayed within striking distance
of the Knights in the third and fourth quarters,
but could never get that one goal to put pres-
sure on Hillsdale, which maintained a three-
goal lead for most of the second half.
Mills made a bit of a run in the nal period,
cutting the Hillsdale lead to 11-9, but Chinn
outscored Mills 3-2 the rest of the way as the
Vikings had a number of shots rattle the
Knights cage, but didnt go in.
If we wouldnt have missed so many [shots
off the post], it could have been a one-goal
game, Anderson said. We had our opportu-
nities.
Daniel led the Vikings with ve goals.

KNIGHTS
with 19 kills. Nicole Connolly added nine kills
and a pair of aces, while Fusaro chipped in
with seven kills.
We try to move the ball around as much as
we can, said Mercy-Burlingame coach Alicia
Karver.
As Kaiser goes, so go the Gryphons, but they
did not have enough help from the rest of the
team to pick up the slack when Kaiser rotated
to the back row.
We were trying to nd a rhythm (offensive-
ly), said Crystal Springs coach Steve Cavella,
noting injury and illness have sidelined impor-
tant pieces to the offense. I think well be
ne.
Kaiser led all hitters, nishing with 21 kills.
Caroline Dicioccio added nine kills for the
Gryphons and Maddison Clay nished with
ve kills and an ace.
Mercy-Burlingame (2-0 WBAL Skyline, 13-
3 overall) won the rst two games rather hand-
ily. In Game 1, a Mercy hitting error coupled
with a kills from Crystal Springs Kaiser tied
the score at 8. The Crusaders responded by
winning the nine of the next 10 points to take
a commanding 18-9 advantage. Crystal
Springs (3-1, 13-4) rallied a bit, eventually cut-
ting its decit to seven points, 21-14, but the
Crusaders won the nal four points to take the
rst game.
Game 2 saw Mercy-Burlingame ring on all
cylinders early. A Kaiser killed tied the game
at 6, but a kill from Healy gave the Crusaders
a sideout. Mercy went on to win ve straight
points behind the serving of Shay Scerri, giv-
ing the Crusaders a 12-6 lead.
Mercy eventually stretched its lead to 22-13
before Crystal Springs came roaring back.
Another Kaiser kill gave the Gryphons a side-
out and they went on to win seven straight
points, cutting the Crusaders lead to just two
points, 23-21.
A kill from Mercys Fusaro and a service ace
from Gama gave the Crusaders the win, but the
momentum had shifted to Gryphons, who took
advantage in Game 3.
The score stayed close early in the third set.
Dicioccio had back-to-back kills to give
Crystal Springs a 5-3 lead, but a pair of kills
from Healy kept Mercy close, down just a
point a 6-5.
The Gryphons then ran away and hid from
the Crusaders. Crystal Springs won 16 of the
next 18 points to take a huge 22-8 advantage.
The Gryphons nished the game with an
exclamation mark, getting blocks for kills
from Dicioccio and Kaiser and ending it on a
Rose Gold ace.
Our passing went down and we werent
talking much, Molina said of her teams
Game 3 meltdown. We just came from a tour-
nament (over the weekend). Maybe we werent
ready for ve, 25-point games.
Most tournaments play best of three sets,
instead of the usual best of ve.
Game 4 was the most competitive of the
match, as neither team managed to pull away.
There were six ties and two lead changes
before the Crusaders began pulling away. The
last tie came at 12 and Mercy took the lead for
good following a Crystal Springs serving error
that gave the Crusaders a 13-12 lead.
Mercy eventually built a 20-16 lead, but the
Gryphons had one last run, closing to 21-19,
but the Crusaders nished the game and the
match by winning four of the nal ve points.

New Zealand bars
Mike Tyson as tour looms
WELLINGTON, New Zealand In a rever-
sal, New Zealand authorities on Wednesday barred
Mike Tyson from entering the country whose
indigenous Maori people Tyson says inspired his
facial tattoo.
And a Downunder speaking tour for the former
heavyweight boxing champion was threatening to
fall apart altogether as
Australian immigration
authorities said theyve yet to
decide whether to allow him
into that country. Tickets for
appearances in New Zealand
and ve major Australian
cities in November are still
being promoted by a Sydney
agency.
Tysons 1992 rape convic-
tion would normally prevent his entry in New
Zealand and could be grounds for denial in
Australia as well. He had been granted an exemp-
tion for New Zealand before that visa was can-
celled Wednesday, days after the prime minister
spoke out against the visit.
Tyson was to speak at a November event in
Auckland, the Day of the Champions, which is
being promoted by Sydney agency Markson
Sparks!

ALAMEDA Wide receiver
Darrius Heyward-Bey practiced for
the rst time Tuesday since being
hospitalized by
a helmet-to-hel-
met hit as the
O a k l a n d
Raiders worked
on fixing their
problems dur-
ing the bye
week.
Heyward-Bey
took part in
individual drills
as the Raiders
(1-3) held their rst of two practices
this week before getting four days
off for the bye. He ran some routes
and caught some passes in his rst
step back.
Were kind of at that stage, just
trying to take the necessary steps,
he said. Weve got a plan for me,
and today was step No. 1 and I feel
pretty good.
Heyward-Bey was knocked
unconscious on Sept. 23 by a hel-
met-to-helmet hit in the end zone
from Pittsburgh safety Ryan
Mundy. Heyward-Bey appeared to
be knocked out by the hit. He then
crashed to the turf headrst and his
neck twisted awkwardly. He was
taken to the hospital for a concus-
sion and sprained neck.
Heyward-Bey did not practice
last week as he waited to pass the
NFL concussion tests. But he was
able to participate Tuesday and said
he plans to play in the teams next
game Oct. 14 at Atlanta.
This is the second straight year in
which Heyward-Bey has had to be
carted off the eld during a game.
He suffered a neck injury against
Minnesota in 2011 but did not miss
a game.
I took a hard hit last year but that
was a lot more of a neck injury than
a head injury when it came to that
one and I came back the next
week, he said. For each person
individually its different.
Everybody works differently,
everybody is a different personality,
so got to look at it that way.
Heyward-Bey is coming off his
best season as a pro, when he had
64 catches for 975 yards and four
touchdowns. Heyward-Bey was
picked seventh overall in 2009 and
struggled his rst two seasons. But
the Raiders were counting on him
to build on his breakthrough cam-
paign this year and be a key part of
the offense with quarterback
Carson Palmer.
Heyward-Bey had nine catches
for 98 yards and one touchdown at
the time of the injury.
The Raiders depth at receiver has
been tested early this season, with
Heyward-Bey missing one game,
fellow starter Denarius Moore
missing the opener with a ham-
string injury and projected third
receiver Jacoby Ford out for the
season with a Lisfranc injury to his
left foot. Rookies Rod Streater and
Juron Criner have also been nursing
minor injuries that have limited
their practice time so far this sea-
son.
It denitely was a plus for us
just to have the whole group out
there healthy going into the bye
week, receiver Derek Hagan said.
Thats the main thing going into
the bye week, you want everybody
to be healthy and focusing on the
job they have to do.
The Raiders are also waiting to
get back starting cornerback
Shawntae Spencer, who has been
out since spraining his right foot
Sept. 16 at Miami. Oaklands other
starting cornerback, Ron Bartell,
broke his shoulder blade in the
opener and cant return until at least
Nov. 11 at Baltimore.
The injuries in the secondary
have played a role in Oaklands
struggles this season as the Raiders
have allowed opponents to com-
plete 71.5 percent of their passes
higher than any team has ever
allowed in a full season. Oakland
also has been unable to generate
any pass rush with just three sacks
as quarterbacks have been able to
get rid of the ball quickly to open
receivers.
Heyward-Bey back at practice for Raiders
Darrius
Heyward-Bey
said the Chicago Tribunes Dan
Pompei, who voted Arizona No. 1
for the second week in a row. Even
if a lot of the wins have been ugly,
they still count.
If the NFL conducted its coach
of the year balloting at the end of
September, Ken Whisenhunt would
be the slam-dunk choice, said the
Dallas Morning News Rick
Gosselin of the Cardinals coach.
New England was sixth, followed
by Green Bay with Philadelphia up
four places to eighth after its 19-17
win over the New York Giants, who
tumbled seven spots to 11th.
The Eagles are the NFLs shaki-
est 3-1 team with all three victories
coming by a combined total of four
points. No matter. Theyre still 3-1,
said Alex Marvez of Foxsports.com.
Winless New Orleans was 26th,
up a spot after its 28-27 loss to the
Packers.
Not even an impassioned speech
from Drew Brees at a midweek
team meeting was enough to get the
Saints in the win column, said Bob
Glauber of Newsday. Stunningly,
the seasons just about over after a
month.
Winless Cleveland was 32nd and
last for the second straight week.
RANK
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)
Every week, 49ers tight end Vernon
Davis anxiously awaits the game
plan offensive coordinator Greg
Roman is conjuring up. For Davis,
Romans creativity has stood out
since his arrival as part of Jim
Harbaughs staff prior to last season.
Davis has been particularly
impressed by Romans acumen for
taking advantage of each individ-
uals strengths and nding ways to
keep everyone involved.
In the 49ers 34-0 win against the
New York Jets on Sunday, it was
backup quarterback Colin
Kaepernicks turn to show how he
can help the team. The 2011 second-
round pick made his rst appear-
ance on the teams second drive and
quickly made an impact by rushing
for 17 yards on a triple option out of
the shotgun.
Starter Alex Smith rotated back
in, but three plays later Kaepernick
entered again, this time to throw a
pass nearly 60 yards to Randy Moss
in the end zone.
The pass fell incomplete, but it
became clear Kaepernicks talent
warrants consideration for the
game plan each week and that
opposing defenses will have to
account for him.
This staff has always been cre-
ative, Davis said. Greg Roman,
hes one of the best at it, as far as
being an offensive coordinator. Hes
getting guys involved and at the end
of the day, thats what its about.
Roman waited until the 49ers
faced a third and 6 from the Jets 7-
yard line on their next drive to go
back to Kaepernick. He dialed up a
designed quarterback sweep and
Kaepernick went nearly untouched
into the end zone to give the 49ers
their rst points of the game.
At Nevada, Kaepernick ran the
pistol offense and became the rst
player in NCAA history to throw for
over 10,000 yards and rush for over
4,000. The 49ers showcased his
ability to run the read option during
the preseason, but until Sunday, his
lone regular-season highlight was a
17-yard draw that set up kicker
David Akers NFL-record tying 63-
yard eld goal in the season opener
against Green Bay.
Colins a very dynamic player,
Harbaugh said. A great team play-
er, too. Everybody wants to play and
feel a part of contributing to the
winning. But theres been no self-
serving, shameless self-promotion
by Colin, as hes been in this under-
study role, this backup role, to lobby
for packages or play time.
Harbaugh said Smith and
Kaepernick both rep the option
plays in practice but its clear
Kaepernick is more dangerous than
Smith with his feet.
With the game out of hand in the
fourth quarter, Kaepernick came
back for some mop-up duty, but still
found a way to make a positive
impression on his coaches. It
appeared his job would be to hand
off to Anthony Dixon and let the
time wind down, but on third and 4
following the two-minute warning,
Kaepernick took a bootleg 30 yards
and, despite a clear path to the end
zone, slid at the 3-yard line.
It wasnt a decision based on
sportsmanship, it was a conscious
decision to end the game. Two kneel
downs followed and the 49ers moved
to 3-1.
Thats one less kickoff we have to
cover, Kaepernick said. Thats one
less time we have to go out on
defense. We can end the game with
no more collisions or chance of
injury.
Harbaugh said the situation had
been discussed before the play, but
understood how it could have been a
difcult play to make considering the
nature of the game.
When youre out there running in
the open eld and the end zones
there right in front of you, thats still
up to the man, Harbaugh said.
How Roman and Harbaugh allow
Kaepernicks role to evolve remains
to be seen, but the potential has team-
mates and fans excited.
Im sure Greg Roman will contin-
ue to put him in and do some things
with him, Davis said. Hell have
his own little package, whatever he
can do to help the team win.

LOS ANGELES The Los Angeles
Dodgers were eliminated from playoff con-
tention, their wild-card hopes dashed Tuesday
night with a 4-3 loss to Barry Zito and the San
Francisco Giants.
The defeat left the Dodgers two games behind
St. Louis with only one game left in the regular
season. Los Angeles had won six in a row to stay
in the race for the second NL wild-card spot, but
Mark Ellis lined out to center eld with a runner
on second base to end it.
The defending World Series champion
Cardinals claimed the nal berth in this years
major league playoffs. St. Louis will be at
Atlanta on Friday in a one-game matchup to see
which team advances to the division round.
Zito won his seventh straight decision, Buster
Posey and Joaquin Arias homered and the NL
West champion Giants nished off their long-
time rivals.
The Dodgers knew early in their game that
Cincinnati had beaten St. Louis 3-1, opening the
door for them to remain in the chase. But they
couldnt capitalize, and will miss the playoffs for
the third straight season and rst under the clubs
new ownership, including Magic Johnson and
Mark Walter, who watched from their box.
Zito (15-8) continued his best stretch since
joining the Giants in 2007. Theyve won his last
11 outings as the left-hander has gone 7-0 for the
rst time since he won eight in a row with
Oakland from June 28-Aug. 4, 2005.
The former AL Cy Young winner allowed two
runs and six hits in six-plus innings, struck out
six and walked one to put himself in contention
for a start in the NL division series.
Sergio Romo got three outs in the ninth to earn
his 14th save in 15 chances after Jeremy Affeldt
gave up a leadoff single to Andre Ethier that had
Dodgers fans on their feet to end the game.
Pinch runner Dee Gordon stole second with two
outs on a close play, but Ellis hit a liner that cen-
ter elder Angel Pagan charged in to catch.
Giants eliminate Dodgers
The As will try to cap the comeback
Wednesday in game No. 162 when A.J. Grifn
(7-1) takes the mound against Ryan Dempster
(7-3). Only four teams have won a division or
pennant after trailing by at least 13 games.
The loser will go the postseason as one of
the two AL wild-card teams, needing to win a
one-game playoff with Baltimore or the New
York Yankees on Friday to advance to the divi-
sion series.
The Rangers, who had held sole possession
of the AL West lead since April 9, never
expected to be in that position. But now they
need one more victory to win their third
straight division title.
Its not easy to run to a title three times,
manager Ron Washington said before the
game. Its not easy at all. Its not easy
because so much can go wrong. Whats been
wrong for us weve been able to weather it.
They had been counting on Matt Harrison
(18-11) to wrap up the title but now need to
survive one more storm Wednesday to do it.
Harrison had been cruising along, retiring
10 straight batters before running into trouble
in the fth. Josh Donaldson led off with a sin-
gle and advanced to third on Brandon Moss
double. Norris then lined a single to right eld
that scored Donaldson with the tying run.
Third base coach Mike Gallego initially held
up Moss, but Cruz bobbled the ball for an
error that allowed Moss to score.
Oakland tacked on an insurance run when
Gomes hit his 18th homer with two outs in the
sixth to make it 3-1, delighting the crowd of
30,660.
ATHLETICS
By John Marshall
PHOENIX Oregon State was coming off
two losing seasons and there wasnt much
hope outside the program that it would get any
better this year.
The Beavers entered the season picked to
nish last in the Pac-12 North and there were
rumblings that affable coach Mike Rileys job
could be on the line if things didnt turn
around quickly.
Despite the seemingly dire prospects, Riley
liked his teams chances.
Of course, every coach heads into the sea-
son optimistic and many come away disap-
pointed once the games start.
Riley hasnt been.
Behind stellar sophomore quarterback Sean
Mannion, the 14th-ranked Beavers have been
one of the surprises of the college football sea-
son, tied with Oregon atop the Pac-12 North
after beating up-tempo Arizona over the
weekend.
The seasons are always a little bit of a mys-
tery, but coming off a 3-9 (in 2011), you real-
ly dont know what to expect, Riley said
Tuesday on the Pac-12 coaches teleconfer-
ence. The only thing I will say is this team
worked hard, right through the summer and
we had a real good fall camp. All the signs
were good. You just had to see what came out
of it.
Oregon States rise has been just a part of
what has been a jumbled start to the Pac-12
season.
Second-ranked Oregon has played about the
way everyone expected, rolling to ve victo-
ries, and the conference has six teams in the
Top 25, its most since 2002.
There also have been plenty of surprises
good and bad up and down the board.
Arizona State, playing under new coach
Todd Graham, is leading the Pac-12 North at
2-0.
Utah, a preseason pick to challenge
Southern California in the division, is 2-2,
with a loss to Utah State and the Sun Devils in
its Pac-12 opener.
The Trojans, ranked 13th, had their national
championship hopes dented by losing to
Stanford out of the conference gate. The
Cardinal then lost the next week to
Washington, which moved into the poll at No.
23.
California hasnt lived up to expectations, 1-
4 and winless in the Pac-12 after two games.
Arizona got off to a ying start under new
coach Rich Rodriguez, rolling to three impres-
sive wins. The Wildcats wilted once the con-
ference season started, giving up 87 combined
points in losses to the two Oregon schools.
We know were going to be in a lot of bat-
tles and were not at a point where we can play
poorly at any stretch of a game and hope to
win, Rodriguez said. But our guys are bat-
tling and theyre hanging in there.
Stanford has gone through the biggest
swing of momentum.
The Cardinal seemed to have no trouble
without quarterback Andrew Luck, the top
overall pick in the NFL draft, opening with
three straight victories. They made a state-
ment in the third one, manhandling then-No. 2
USC 21-14 to move into the top 10. Stanford
made another statement 12 days later, rushing
for just 65 yards while losing a 10-point lead
in a 17-13 loss to Washington that dropped
them to No. 18 in the poll.
We all learned a valuable lesson, which is
if we dont play our best football for 60 min-
utes, we can get beaten, Stanford coach
David Shaw said. Washington played well,
but at the same time we didnt play our best
football. Its not just about keeping it close so
we can win it at the end. Weve got to play our
best football for 60 minutes.
Oregon State has had no trouble doing that
despite a stop and start season.
The Beavers didnt open their season on
time, thanks to a hurricane that led to the post-
ponement of their opener with Nicholls State.
They had no trouble with the extra time,
knocking off then-No. 13 Wisconsin.

When I told my mother a end for
candied ginger that I was testing a
batch of these mufns, she said she
wished she could y right over and dig in.
Shes not the only one.
Theres just something about the com-
bination of sweet potatoes and sweet
spices that makes us happy. Every time
my grandmother Ruth made her signature
spice balls wonderfully chewy cookies
lled with every possible sweet spice
all the grandkids wafted into the kitchen
from miles away.
These mufns start with cooked sweet
potatoes, which not only provide great a-
vor and sugar, but also a tempting moist-
ness. Slowly baking sweet potatoes in the
oven intensies their sweetness. For expe-
diency, we chose to microwave them for
this recipe. But if youd rather do it the old
fashioned (and tastier) way, plan to bake
them for 1 to 1 1/2 hours at 400 F.
However you cook them, consider mak-
ing extra. You can freeze the pulp for
future batches of mufns. And I dont
bother to puree the potatoes; I just mash
them. It leaves the texture slightly and
pleasantly chunky.
By the way, if youre wondering about
the difference between sweet potatoes and
yams, dont expend much energy on it. In
the United States, just about anything
labeled a yam (or a sweet potato) is really
just a sweet potato. True yams, a staple of
the Caribbean diet, are rough-skinned,
starchy and not very sweet. The vegetable
we love at Thanksgiving and the right
potato for this recipe is the true sweet
potato.
Though there still are plenty of die-hard
devotees of white our, I have snuck some
whole-wheat our into this recipe because
it is a healthier choice. And the nished
mufns golden color will camouage the
whole-wheat our. As a practical matter,
when a baking recipe calls for white our,
you can almost always swap out half of it
for whole wheat with little effect on the
color, taste or texture of the nished prod-
uct.
Another important player in this recipe
is buttermilk, one of my favorite ingredi-
ents, especially for baking. I like butter-
milks creaminess and its tang. And, con-
trary to the impression by its luxurious
texture, its actually very low in fat.
Buttermilk is a great item to keep in the
fridge; you can use up any extra by adding
it to smoothies.
Finally, these bad boys are topped off
with some chopped, crystallized ginger
(also called candied ginger). But if for
some reason youre not a fan, you can top
these with the chopped nut of your choice.
Just dont tell my mother.
SWEET POTATO
BUTTERMILK MUFFINS WITH
CANDIED GINGER TOPPING
White whole-wheat our is available in
the baking aisle of most grocers. It has all
the nutrition of regular whole-wheat our,
but it is made from a different variety of
wheat that produces a our with a lighter
taste, texture and color.
Start to nish: 1 hour (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 12 mufns
3/4 to 1 pound sweet potatoes (2 small
or I medium)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup white whole-wheat our
1 cup all-purpose our
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly
ground
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temper-
ature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a 12-cup
mufn pan with paper cupcake liners or
lightly spray the cups with cooking spray.
Prick the sweet potatoes several places
with a knife. Microwave on high (or on
the baked potato setting) until tender,
about 10 minutes. Let cool, then peel and,
in a medium bowl, mash with a fork. You
should have about 1 1/4 cups of mashed
sweet potato. Mix in the buttermilk, then
set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir
together both ours, the baking powder,
baking soda, salt, nutmeg and allspice.
In another medium bowl, combine the
butter and both sugars. Use an electric
mixer to beat until the mixture is light and
uffy, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula,
scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add
the egg and vanilla, then mix on medium
speed for about 1 minute, until thorough-
ly combined. Scrape down the sides of the
bowl.
Add half the our mixture and beat the
batter on low speed just until the mixture
is partly mixed. Add half the buttermilk-
sweet potato mixture and mix until com-
bined. Add the remaining dry ingredients
and mix until just combined, then mix in
the remaining buttermilk mixture.
Divide the batter among the prepared
mufn cups. Top it with the crystallized
ginger and bake on the middle rack of the
oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops
are golden and a toothpick inserted at the
center comes out clean. Remove the
mufns from the pan and tip on their sides
on a cooling rack; this prevents the bot-
toms from getting soggy. Let cool 10 min-
utes before serving. They are best eaten
while still hot.
Healthy muffin with a sweet side
These mufns start with cooked sweet potatoes, which not only provide great
avor and sugar, but also a tempting moistness.
CARDAMOM CRANBERRY PEAR CRISP
Start to nish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 8
For the topping:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose our
3/4 cup oats (see above)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the lling:
8 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
8-ounce package frozen or fresh cranberries
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking
spray.
To make the topping, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer
to beat together the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the
our, oats, cinnamon and salt. Stir together until the mixture just
forms moistened crumbs and small clumps. Set aside.
To make the lling, in a medium bowl, toss together the pears,
cranberries, brown sugar, cardamom, salt and cornstarch. Spread
the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping
evenly over the lling. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the pears
are tender and bubbling and the topping is well browned.

mmm. Nothing says good
eats like soy residue. Except
that in Chinese cooking, it
really can. And you very likely have
enjoyed that soy residue, many times
and in many ways.
Im talking
about hoisin, a
classic ingredient
for sauces both
for dipping at the
table and basting
during cooking
in China. Hoisin is
a thick, dark red-
to-brown sauce
that blends sweet-
spicy-savory a-
vors, a prole not
all that different from ketchup.
It is made from the leftover mash of
fermented soy beans produced when
making traditional soy sauces. That
mash is combined with sugar, chilies,
garlic, vinegar, salt, sometimes ve-
spice powder and either our or corn-
starch (to thicken). Though hoisin is
widely used on grilled meats (as a bar-
becue sauce) and in dipping sauces, its
best known for a starring role in Peking
duck and moo shu pork.
The trick with hoisin is to use it spar-
ingly. Unlike ketchup (which I rmly
believe should be served by the gallon),
a little hoisin goes a long way.
To make a dipping sauce, thin a tea-
spoon or so with sesame oil and soy
sauce. Uncut, it can be brushed directly
onto meats for grilling.
Youll usually nd hoisin in glass jars
amongst the grocers other Asian ingre-
dients. Refrigerated after opening, it
should last months. For more ideas for
using hoisin, check out the Off the
Beaten Aisle column over on Food

2 scallions, nely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup hoisin
Salt
1 1/3 pounds ground turkey
3/4 cup panko (Japanese-style) bread-
crumbs
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup creme fraiche

the prepared baking sheet, then repeat
with the remaining butter and meat-
balls.
Bake the meatballs for 7 to 8 min-
utes, or until cooked through and a ther-
mometer inserted at the center of a
meatball reads 165 F.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix the
tomatoes, creme fraiche, hot sauce and
1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread a quarter of
the mixture down the center of each sub

THE HAGUE, Netherlands Smoked
salmon tainted with salmonella has sickened
hundreds of people in the Netherlands,
authorities said, sparking major recalls there
and in the U.S.
U.S. health authorities say they are also
investigating whether the salmon could be at
the root of a multi-state outbreak of the ill-
ness.
The Netherlands National Institute for
Public Health and the Environment said the
salmon was traced to a Dutch company called
Foppen, which sells sh to many major super-
markets in the Netherlands and stores around
the world.
In the U.S. Foppen said it only supplied the
sh to CostCo Wholesale Corp. It did not
believe the contaminated sh was sold to any
other countries.
The Dutch public health institute said that
around 200 people and likely more have
been sickened in the Netherlands by a strain
of the bacteria called Salmonella Thompson.
A representative for the U.S. Centers for
Disease and Control Prevention, Lola Russell,
says the federal agency has 85 recorded cases
of the same strain from 27 states starting from
July 1. Without an outbreak, she said the aver-
age number of such cases over that time
would be about 30.
Weve investigating a possible link
between the cases in the U.S. and cases in the
Netherlands, Russell said.
That process entails state public health of-
cials interviewing patients to nd out what
they may have eaten before they got sick,
including the smoked salmon.
Russell said 10 people have been hospital-
ized, with no deaths.
Craig Wilson, vice president of food safety
at Costco, said the company immediately
pulled the smoked salmon from shelves after
receiving a call from Foppen late Monday.
CostCo also blocked sale of the salmon in
stores, meaning the products wont scan at
registers.
The smoked salmon was sold under the
Foppen name, as well as under Costcos store-
brand name, Kirkland. Wilson did not know
how much of the product was sold.
Customers who purchased the items will be
called by CostCo to notify them of the recall,
Wilson said. The calls will be followed up
with a letter.
Wilson said Costcos independent testing of
the smoked salmon hasnt yet turned up any
positive results for salmonella. He said the
company has not received any reports of ill-
nesses.
In the Netherlands Foppen estimated the
number of infections could rise.
Since the company set up a public informa-
tion phone line two days ago, de Vries said
about 1,400 people had called and around 350
of the callers reported symptoms consistent
with a salmonella infection.
Those infected by the salmonella bacteria
can suffer symptoms including fever, vomit-
ing and diarrhea.
Foppen, which processes fish in the
Netherlands and at a factory in Greece, is
investigating the cause of the outbreak.
The investigation into the cause is under
way and has been narrowed down to one pro-
duction line at one factory (in Greece), De
Vries said. We cant yet say what the cause
of the infection was.
Foppen has halted all production of smoked
salmon until the investigation is completed,
he added.

Commission nding to the City Council and
cleaned up some of the language in the ordi-
nance, Lim wrote.
The amendment to the citys ground-oor
retail requirements ordinance also dictates
what percentage of a storefront can be devot-
ed to retail uses and other uses. Smaller store-
fronts would be allowed to have up to 25 per-
cent committed to ofce use while larger
storefronts would be allowed to have up to 33
percent committed to ofce uses.
The city has recognized the changing needs
of retail and the shift to e-commerce,
Councilman Jack Matthews said about chang-
ing the retail requirements.
The change should encourage startups and
other businesses to locate downtown,
Matthews said.
We need to periodically review our zoning
requirements in our downtown area to be sure
we are creating the ingredients for a lively and
commercially viable area that adds to the
quality of life for all of our citizens,
Matthews wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
The Required Retail Frontage requirements
were rst established in 1986 that allowed for
a small percentage of the ground oor to be
devoted to any type of ofce use.
In 2000, however, the City Council adopted
an urgency ordinance prohibiting the estab-
lishment of any new ground oor ofces in
downtown during the dot-com boom.
Earlier this year, downtown property owner
Steve Musich requested a conditional-use per-
mit to allow startup SnapLogic to occupy
some ground-oor space at the Collective
Antiques building on Third Avenue.
But the Planning Commission denied the
request as did the City Council on an appeal.
Musich said that move would likely send
SnapLogic looking elsewhere to expand.
Musich has since sold the Collective
Antiques building to venture capitalist Tim
Draper, who started a university for entrepre-
neurs across the street at the old Benjamin
Franklin Hotel.
The councils response was inuenced in
part by the Downtown San Mateo Association,
San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce and
local real estate brokers who urged for greater
flexibility downtown, Councilman Robert
Ross said.
The ordinance will need a second reading
within 30 days before the council can formal-
ly adopt it.
Commercial Realtor Clarke Funkhouser
supports the changes after previously telling
the Planning Commission that a property at
18-20 Third Ave. has been vacant for nearly
15 years. Relaxing the retail requirements
could help ll the space, he told the commis-
sion at its last meeting.
Yesterday, he told the Daily Journal that
relaxing the rules will be good for downtown
overall but that it is not a perfect x for
everyone.
The councils actions, Funkhouser said, will
benet larger buildings more than smaller
ones.

RULES
2019. The state just released $40 million last
week in Proposition 1A bond money to kick-
start the project, estimated to cost about $1.5
billion when complete.
This is unprecedented growth in our sys-
tems history and highlights both the demand
for our services and the requirement that we
continue to grow and improve our system to
continue to be a vital part of the Peninsulas
transportation network, Chuck Harvey,
Caltrains deputy chief executive officer,
wrote the Daily Journal in an email.
Ridership has climbed 75 percent at
Caltrain since 2004 when it introduced its
baby bullet service.
Total farebox revenue for August was near-
ly $6 million, up from the $5.3 million in
August 2011.
For the year, total farebox revenue is up
14.4 percent from $10.3 million last year to
$11.8 million this year. The fiscal year start-
ed July 1.
Total ridership for the year is up 9.8 per-
cent and the average weekday ridership is up
8.9 percent. More than 2.6 million riders
have taken the train this year compared to the
2.4 million it carried last year at this time.
Shuttle ridership was also up in August by
23.5 percent and, for the year, the shuttle
numbers are up 22.1 percent compared to the
numbers last year, according to the staff
report.
More than 8,300 riders rode shuttles in
August compared to the 6,753 who rode
shuttles last year.
On-time performance for August also was
better than the numbers in 2011 at 93.3 per-
cent compared to 92.1 percent last year. For
the year, on-time performance is at 93.4 per-
cent compared to 91.9 percent last year.
Caltrain just added six trains to its week-
day schedule to accommodate the increase in
ridership.
We have made it clear that one of our top
priorities is the electrification of this corridor
to provide this region with faster, cleaner,
quieter Caltrain service but we will also be
looking for innovative ways to meet the
growing ridership demands between now and
2019, when modernization is completed,
Harvey wrote in the email.
In other JPB news, the board is expected to
approve a resolution of appreciation at its
next meeting for Richard Napier, the execu-
tive director at the City/County Association
of Governments. C/CAG deals with regional
transportation issues and works closely with
the San Mateo County Transportation
Authority on what local transportation proj-
ects to fund.
The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers
Board meets 10 a.m., Thursday, Oct. 4,
Bacciocco Auditorium, second floor, 1250

CALTRAIN
felony charges of burglary and attempted
possession of child pornography and four
misdemeanor counts each of child annoyance
and disorderly conduct involving loitering at
a rest room. Mrozek was in court on the pre-
viously filed charges of kidnapping, assault,
molestation, trespassing on school grounds,
child annoyance and offering alcohol to a
minor.
He put off a plea until Oct. 10 while he
attempts to retain defense attorney Dek
Ketchum.
Ketchum declined comment until after he
is officially attached to the case.
Mrozek was arrested a day after police say
Mrozek approached the girl at Parkside
Elementary School, offered vodka to two 12-
year-old boys and verbally harassed two girls
at Bayside STEM Academy and was escorted
off the Horrall Elementary School campus by
a suspicious administrator.
In the most serious case, prosecutors say
Mrozek groped the girl and covered her
mouth with his hand before carting her off
campus just before 2:45 p.m. Sept. 21. A
short distance away, the girl escaped by kick-
ing her attacker and running back to the
school where she reported the incident,
according to San Mateo police.
Mrozek has no similar criminal history but
Wagstaffe said there may be some other cir-
cumstances in play.
I wouldnt be surprised if there was some
mental health component but right now there
is nothing beyond the fact he is motivated by
a perverse sexual interest, he said.
He remains in custody without bail.

CRIME
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2012
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do your very best not to
disrupt anything that is presently running smoothly,
because you could be all thumbs and make matters
worse. Let your motto be: If it isnt broke, dont fx it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre asking for all
kinds of trouble if you deliberately play up to some-
one in order to make another person whom you dont
like jealous. Dont play games.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Only if you are
tenacious and consistent will success be within your
reach. However, the odds are against you if you try to
gamble your way to greener pastures.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Friends and associ-
ates arent likely to have any respect for your ideas
or opinions if they sense that you have little regard
for theirs. Be sure to keep an open mind and avoid
premature judgment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont allow anybody
whos notorious for being unable to manage his or
her resources to handle your own. This error in judg-
ment could turn out to be very expensive.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Things you envision
can be brought into being, if you work at it. However,
this does not mean you could succeed teaming up
with another. Go it alone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You wont mind going
out of your way to assist a friend. However, it will
really irk you if the recipient has a total lack of
acknowledgement and appreciation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If your old standbys
arent available to do something fun with you, it
might be best to go it alone. Involvements with
substitutes arent likely to work out too well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Once you successfully
have achieved something, let it go and move on to
something new. If you keep trying to improve it, you
could unravel your own accomplishment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your keen imagination
can be a very big plus, provided you remain positive
and channel it constructively. Once you start to think
negatively, it will be a different story.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Avoid any speculative in-
volvements, especially those that require you have to
dip into your savings in order to participate. Chances
are what starts out wrong will end up wrong.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This might not be one of
your better days for decision-making, but what could
make it even worse is that the persons to whom you
go for counsel could be even more inept than you.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
Newspaper: San Mateo Daily Journal
Publication Date: October 3, 2012
Address: City of San Mateo
Neighborhood Improvement & Housing Division
330 W. 20th Ave, San Mateo, CA 94403
650-522-7220
On or about October 12, 2012 the City of San Mateo will submit a re-
quest to the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development for the release
of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title 1 of
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-
383, as amended; 42 U.S.C.-5301 et seq., to undertake the project
known as 2013 CDBG Sidewalk Improvements Project, for the pur-
pose of replacing sidewalks, curb cuts, and wheel chair ramps. The
cost for this work is expected to be approximately $225,000.00. This
project will be fully funded with CDBG funds. This project is located
within the eligible areas of North Shoreview, North Central, as well as
various designated CDBG Program Areas.
The proposed activity is in a floodplain for which an 8-Step decision-
making process was completed on May 4, 2009. An Environmental
Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determina-
tions for this project is on file at Neighborhood Improvement & Housing
Division office located at 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo, CA 94403
where ERR can be examined and/or copied weekdays 8:00 A.M. to
5:00 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Any individual, group, or agency may submit
written comments on the ERR to Chris Wahl, Neighborhood Improve-
ment & Housing Specialist, City of San Mateo, 330 W. 20th Ave., San
Mateo, CA 94403 or cwahl@cityofsanmateo.org. All comments re-
ceived by October 12, 2012 will be considered by the City of San Ma-
teo prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION: The City of San Mateo certifies
to HUD that Sandra Council in her capacity as Neighborhood Improve-
ment & Housing Manager consents to accept the jurisdiction of the
Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in rela-
tion to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities
have been satisfied. HUD's approval of the certification satisfies its re-
sponsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows
the City of San Mateo to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS: HUD will accept objections
to Responsible Entitys (RE) Request for Release of Funds and envi-
ronmental certification for a period of fifteen days following the antici-
pated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is
later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification
was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of San Mateo; (b)
the City of San Mateo has omitted a step or failed to make a decision
or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 or by CEQ
regulations at 40 CFR 1500-1508, as applicable; (c) the RE has omit-
ted one or more steps in the preparation, completion or publication of
the Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Study per 24
CFR Subparts E, F or G of Part 58, as applicable; (d) the grant recipi-
ent or other participant in the development process has committed
funds for or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 be-
fore release of funds and approval of the environmental certification;
(e) another Federal, State or local agency has submitted a written find-
ing that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environ-
mental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accord-
ance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec 58.76) and
shall be addressed to HUD, Community Planning & Development, U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, San Francisco Re-
gional Office, 600 Harrison St., Third Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107-
1300. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last
day of the objection period.

LOCAL/WORLD 30 Wednesday Oct. 3, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
During a sit-down in the Daily Journal ofce,
Groom along with current Controller Bob
Adler, County Manager John Maltbie and
Lisa Conrad, president of the southern San
Mateo County League of Women Voters,
shared why they think county residents will be
better served with the change.
If approved, a controller will be named for
up to two six-year terms, which gives county
ofcials the responsibility of choosing but
voters the reassurance the appointment isnt
indenite. The limited span tells the position
holder to be proactive, Groom said.
Youre not going to be there forever so if
there are things to be done, get them done,
Groom said.
Maltbie isnt worried the term limit will
give qualied candidates pause, concluding
that anyone worth being named is likely mid-
career or moving toward retirement.
The switch would also add San Mateo
County to nine of 58 other counties with
appointed controllers. Of those, six have con-
solidated departments of nance including the
controller, treasurer and tax collector and
nearly all have switched fairly recently.
Currently, state law holds that the controller
must meet at least one of several criteria: be a
certied public accountant; hold a baccalaure-
ate degree in accounting or its equivalent and
not less than three years experience within the
last ve years in a senior management posi-
tion in a public agency, private rm or non-
prot organization.
The proposed change to appointment would
exceed the minimum qualications by adding
that being designated a professional internal
auditor and/or experience as a county auditor
would not be sufcient. The supervisorial sub-
committee that brought forward the change
also recommended candidates have knowl-
edge of public administration principles and
practices, budgeting, scal administration and
effective personal administration, employee
relations and management in a public setting.
The charter change would allow the county
manager to select a candidate for considera-
tion with nal approval by the Board of
Supervisors. The controller would be an at-
will employee who can be removed without
cause or a public hearing as long as it comes
with a county managers recommendation and
a four-fths vote of the board.
The Board of Supervisors began looking at
the possibility of changing the ofce after
naming assistant controller Adler to the vacant
position left by former controller Tom
Huenings mid-term resignation. In 2010, a
17-person Charter Review Committee recom-
mended making both the controller and treas-
urer-tax collector appointed jobs but county
supervisors unanimously rejected the idea.
The League of Women Voters has backed
the controller as appointed position for more
than 40 years, Conrad said.
Naysayers may worry that a lack of election
leaves the county without an independent
overseer but Maltbie ticked off the civil grand
jury as one example of another entity serving
a watchdog function.
The controller is not the only set of eyes
and ears, he said.
The proposed charter amendment could be
just the rst step toward other changes in the
countys scal management. Once current
Treasurer-Tax Collector Sandie Arnott is done
with ofce, Maltbie and Groom said the coun-
ty may look at further consolidation into
something equating a chief nancial ofcer
position. Doing so isnt out of the ordinary,
Adler said.
Government is trying to become more and
more like business, he said.

Popes butler pleads
innocent to theft charge
VATICAN CITY Pope Benedict XVIs
onetime butler declared Tuesday he was inno-
cent of a charge of aggravated theft of the
popes private correspondence, but acknowl-
edged he photocopied the papers and said he
feels guilty that he betrayed the trust of the
pontiff he loves like a father.
Paolo Gabriele took the stand Tuesday in a
Vatican courtroom to defend himself against
accusations of his role in one of the most dam-
aging scandals of Benedicts pontificate.
Prosecutors say Gabriele stole the popes let-
ters and documents alleging power struggles
and corruption inside the Vatican and leaked
them to a journalist in an unprecedented papal
security breach.
Gabriele faces four years in prison if he is
found guilty, although most Vatican watchers
expect he will receive a papal pardon if he is
convicted.
During Tuesdays hearing, Gabrieles attor-
ney complained that her client spent his rst
20 days in Vatican detention in a room so
small he couldnt stretch his arms out and
with lights kept on 24 hours a day.

BEIRUT An American free-
lance journalist who has been miss-
ing in Syria since mid-August has
been shown in a video clip posted
online, blindfolded and saying Oh,
Jesus in a frightened voice in the
custody of armed men.
The video, which came to light
Monday, was the rst sign of Austin
Tices condition since he disap-
peared more than seven weeks ago.
Tice, a 31-year-old former Marine,
had been reporting on Syrias civil
war for The Washington Post,
McClatchy Newspapers and others.
The Tice family conrmed to sev-
eral media outlets that their son
appears in the video.
In the 47-second clip, Tice tries to
recite the Muslim declaration of
faith, or shahada, but then switches
to English and says, Oh Jesus. Oh
Jesus and rests
his head on a
captors arm.
T h e
Associated Press
could not inde-
pendently con-
rm the origin or
the content of the
video clip.
Although the
footage shows a
group of captors dressed like Islamic
extremists and shouting God is
Great, the clip lacks the customary
appearance of jihadist videos.
The discrepancies have raised
concerns that the video was staged
to make it appear Tice was being
held by extremists. Previous reports
have indicated that Tice is in gov-
ernment custody, although President
Bashar Assads regime has not
acknowledged holding him.
In the weeks after Tice went miss-
ing, the Czech government which
represents American interests in
Syria said it had information that
Tice was in Syrian government cus-
tody but had yet to get conrmation
from Syrian authorities.
The video was posted online Sept.
26, but it went unnoticed until
Monday when a pro-government
Facebook page called the Media
Channel for Assads Syria posted it
with a caption that reads: To those
who accuse the Syrian army,
American journalist Austin Tice is in
the hands of al-Nusra Front and al-
Qaida gangs in Syria.
Jabhat al-Nusra, or Victory Front,
and other extremist groups release
videos that are clearly labeled with
logos and have a higher production
value, unlike the shaky and amateur-
ish footage in which Tice is seen.
Extremist videos usually are
released on jihadist websites, not on
YouTube by unknown users.
