San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District ofcials are working on
options to address overcrowding after the
failure of Measure P, a $130 million bond
proposal that would have added capacity.
The district plans to implement four
strategies, in the following order: take up
all empty rooms avail-
able in schools, overow
students to schools
where there is space,
implement a.m./p.m.
kindergarten districtwide
and increase class sizes
in grades 4-8 dis-
trictwide, according to a
statement by district
Superintendent Cynthia Simms.
I am disappointed by the vote, but I
respect that the majority of our voters want
a different solution to the increasing stu-
dent enrollment facing our schools and to
the funding of the classroom technology
required to ensure student access to 21st cen-
tury learning strategies, Cynthia Simms,
superintendent of the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District, said in an
ofcial statement. Following a review of
the nal voting results, and consultation
with key school district and community
leaders, I will present a plan for our Board of
Trustees consideration on next steps to
engage the varied constituencies of the dis-
trict and ways to address these challenges
together.
District looks to other options after Measure P failure
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District class sizes may increase, kindergarten may go a.m./p.m.

Millbrae officials say startup car
service plagued with violations
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
FlightCar, a unique airport business that allows people to
rent out their personal cars, could lose its ability to do busi-
ness in Millbrae over a sloppy setup and several code viola-
tions.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously at its
meeting Monday night to recommend to the City Council
revocation of FlightCars conditional use permit. Basic
code violations the city noted included lack of response to
issues such as lack of background checks of its renters,
unwarranted electrical generators, poor maintenance of
shrubs, re code violations and other issues. The permit was
approved on April 15.

Man glad stolen motorcycle
found after 46 years
OMAHA, Neb. Donald DeVault
wonders what kind of memories his
Triumph motorcycle helped make in
the 46 years since it was stolen, and
hes looking forward to making more
of his own when its returned.
The 73-year-old Omaha man learned
last week that California authorities
had recovered his 1953 Triumph Tiger
100 at the Port of Los Angeles. The
bike was about to be shipped to Japan
when U.S. Customs & Border
Protection agents who checked the
vehicle identication number discov-
ered the motorcycle had been reported
stolen in February 1967.
DeVault said he is eager to get the
bike back, but he thinks investigators
may be even more excited than him
about the motorcycles recovery.
DeVault had had the bike for only a
year or two when it was taken from his
fenced backyard.
I really want to protect it this
time, DeVault said. Im sure theres
people out there that would want to
take it away.
The bike was valued at $300 when in
1967. The shipping documents listed
its value today at $9,000.
DeVault already has a Harley-
Davidson and a Kawasaki motorcycle
in his garage, so he plans to reserve
the Triumph for special rides.
DeVault said hes talked about the
motorcycle over the years whenever
he was around bikers. It had a couple
features unusual for Triumphs made in
the early 1950s, such as its hardtail
frame.
DeVault recalls Marlon Brando rid-
ing a similar Triumph bike in the
movie The Wild One, and after that it
seemed like everyone wanted to ride a
motorcycle.
But DeVault said he was already rid-
ing motorcycles by the time the
movie came out, and continued riding
for much of his life.
What sold him on the Triumph was
the blue color and the name Lil Blue
Bitch airbrushed on the side of the
gas tank.
Afriend with a trucking company is
helping DeVault arrange to ship the
motorcycle home from California.
Once he gets it back in a couple
weeks, DeVault plans to have someone
restore the bikes name and paint 46
Years Later on the gas tank.
Homeless man found
in hotel presidential suite
PITTSBURGH A homeless man
has gone from the proverbial pent-
house to the big house after he was
found sleeping in the presidential
suite at one of Pittsburghs swankiest
hotels.
Jeffrey Lennon Watson, 48, told
police he was from Los Angeles and
was passing through the city to return
to California when he was nabbed by
security at the Omni William Penn
Hotel on Tuesday night, police
spokeswoman Diane Richard said
Wednesday.
Hotel guests were checking into the
suite about 7:30 p.m. when they saw
Watson sleeping on a couch and noti-
fied hotel staff, police said. Hotel
security ofcers woke him up, took
him to their ofce and called police,
Richard said.
Hotel general manager Eric
DeStefano issued a short statement
explaining what occurred.
The parlor area of the Presidential
suite is a general-use area for recep-
tions and small events. The door had
been programmed to remain unlocked
for an event earlier that day. As soon
as the occupant was discovered, he was
escorted off the property, DeStefano
said.
Watson told police he has been in
Pittsburgh for over a month and sleeps
wherever he can locate somewhere
comfortable to rest his head, Richard
said.
There arent too many places more
comfortable than Watsons chosen
location. The 16th-oor suite features
a 1,300-square-foot parlor plus three
bedrooms, and includes crystal chan-
deliers, a dining room, grand piano, a
full kitchenette, wet bar and sitting
room, according to the hotels web-
site. The site doesnt make clear how
much the room costs.

Slightly more than one-fth of San Mateo
Countys registered voters turned in ballots
as of the final Election Night tallies
although that number is expected to rise to
nearly a quarter as outstanding ballots
remain uncounted.
As of the 11:30 p.m. final precinct
reports, 20.31 percent or 73,026 of
the countys 359,535 registered voters were
counted. Of those, 15.24 percent were
absentee, .11 percent were cast at a voting
center and 4.96 percent of voters headed to a
precinct on Nov. 5.
Although the preliminary numbers are
sure to rise, the off-year turnout so far falls
short of last years presidential election
showing of 56.5 percent of 361,486 voters.
The nal total of just less than 80 percent of
registered voters was a 20-year high for the
county. In comparison, the June primary
had 36.5 percent turnout.
The office still has some ballots to
process: an estimated 1,267 paper, 11, 401
absentee and 2,056 provisional, according
to Chief Elections Ofcer Mark Church.
Assuming all remaining ballots qualify,
the revised voter turnout projection is 24
percent, Church said.
Updates will be posted at 4:30 p.m. Friday
and Tuesday on www.shapethefuture.org .
Once the votes are counted, the Elections
Ofce will begin its 1 percent manual tally
in anticipation of certifying the results in
early December. The tally conrms that the
election was properly conducted.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A would-be bank robber who allegedly
told a teller he had a bomb before helping
himself to a cup of coffee and walking out of
the building is incompetent to stand trial for
second-degree burglary, according to a pair
of court-appointed doctors.
Aaron Brandon Justin, 35, previously
pleaded not guilty to that charge along with
attempted robbery and making a false
explosives claim but the doctors conclu-
sions mean he will be sent to a state mental
facility for treatment rather than stand trial.
Competency is a defendants ability to aid
in his or her own defense as opposed to san-
ity which is a persons mental state at the
time of an alleged crime.
Justin is accused of
entering a Chase Bank in
San Mateo on Sept. 4 and
handing a teller a note
that read I have a bomb,
give me the money.
After the teller pan-
icked and froze, she
regained herself and
pushed the alarm button
but by that time Justin
had already poured himself some coffee and
left the bank. He was apprehended nearby
and identied by witnesses, according to
prosecutors.
Justin, who remains in custody on
$50,000 bail, returns to court Dec. 17 for
formal placement at the hospital.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The Menlo Park Police Department
announced Wednesday that it is seeking a
specic witness who may have watched a
grisly fatal drunken driving accident last
month that claimed the lives of a Menlo
Park couple out walking their dog.
Menlo Park Trafc Sgt. Sharon Kaufman is
seeking the cooperation of a white male that
was driving a white Ford Explorer on Oct. 24
around 6:50 p.m. near the intersection of the
crash on Chilco Street. It is believed that
this individual may have witnessed the
entire event, according to Kaufman.
Marjorie Reitzell, 54, of Redwood City,
has been arrested in connection with the
accident.
San Mateo County prosecutors said that
after a day of heavy drinking, Reitzell
veered her car onto a paved shoulder of the
road, where her vehicle plowed into Kamal
Singh, 45, and Balbir Singh, 50, who were
out walking their Chihuahua. The couple
leaves behind three teenage children.
Prosecutors say Reitzell then ran her
vehicle into a car occupied by four
teenagers, causing them minor injuries,
before striking a tree.
She has been charged with two counts of
gross vehicular manslaughter and two
felony counts of driving while under the
inuence causing injury, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce. Reitzell will be in court Thursday to
enter a plea.
In the meantime, she is being held on the
San Mateo County Jail on $2 million bail.
Anyone who might have witnessed this
incident is asked to contact Sgt. Kaufman
with the Menlo Park Police Department at
(650) 330-6343.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City bank teller who stole
$119,600 from a 91-year-old customer both
before and after his death and, with her
boyfriend, spent nearly $25,000 of the
funds, pleaded guilty to felony counts of
elder theft and identity theft.
In return, Priscilla Banh, 24, faces up to
three years in prison when sentenced Jan. 6.
Her boyfriend, Jabriel Scott, 23, pleaded
no contest to misdemeanor grand theft in
return for credit of time served. He was
immediately sentenced to 90 days jail with
the credit and placed on
two years court proba-
tion. He must also repay
the victims estate
$1,723.
Banh worked as a teller
at Wells Fargo Bank and

Pair take deal for elder theft, identity theft

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Internet giant Google says it is exploring
using two large barges on the East and West
coasts as interactive learning centers.
A statement released Wednesday from
Googles press center helps end weeks of
speculation about the purpose of structures on
two barges, one being built in the San
Francisco Bay, another now oating off
Portland, Maine.
Google Barge ... Aoating data center? A
wild party boat? A barge housing the last
remaining dinosaur? Sadly, none of the
above, says the statement. Although its
still early days and things may change, were
exploring using the barge as an interactive
space where people can learn about new tech-
nology.
In a follow up, a Google spokeswoman said
the company was referring to both barges.
Google has been building a four-story
structure in the heart of the San Francisco Bay
for several weeks, but managed to conceal its
purpose by constructing it on docked barges
instead of on land, where city building per-
mits and public plans are mandatory.
Until now, San Francisco city ofcials
responsible for land use and state ofcials
responsible for the bay have said they didnt
know what was being built there. Coast Guard
inspectors who visited the construction sites
could not discuss what they saw. Lt. Anna
Dixon said non-disclosure agreements were
signed, but that those were not necessary, and
that the Coast Guard, as a practice, doesnt
share proprietary information it sees during
inspections.
If Google wants to operate an on-barge
interactive learning center in the San
Francisco Bay, the rm will eventually need
to get permission from the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development
Commission.
The East Coast barge, built in a New
London, Conn., harbor in July was recently
towed to Maine.
Last year Google proposed building a land-
based Google Experience Center which
would operate as a private museum and demo
space as part of new $120 billion Googleplex
headquarters it is building in Mountain View
where it is headquartered.

PORTLAND, Ore. With federal and state
online health care marketplaces experienc-
ing glitches a month into implementation,
concern is mounting for a vulnerable group
of people who were supposed to be among
the health laws earliest beneciaries.
Hundreds of thousands of people across
the country with pre-existing chronic condi-
tions such as cancer, heart failure or kidney
disease who are covered through high risk-
insurance pools will see their coverage dis-
solve by years end.
They are supposed to gain regular cover-
age under the Affordable Care Act, which
requires insurers to cover those with severe
medical problems. But many of them have
had trouble signing up for health insurance
through the exchanges and could nd them-
selves without coverage in January if they
dont meet a Dec. 15 deadline to enroll.
Administration ofcials say the federal
exchange, which covers more than half the
states, wont be working probably until the
end of November, leaving people just two
weeks to sign up if they want coverage by
Jan. 1.
These individuals cant be without cover-
age for even a month, said Tanya Case, the
chairwoman of the National Association of
State Comprehensive Health Insurance
Plans, which represents the nations high-
risk pools. Its a matter of life or death.
High-risk pools were created by state leg-
islatures to provide a safety net for people
who have been denied or priced out of cover-
age. While the Affordable Care Act will for-
bid insurers from turning away people in
poor health, those who qualify for a subsidy
must enroll through the state or federal mar-
ketplace.
More than a dozen of the 35 states that run
insurance pools for people with serious
medical issues will permanently close their
pools within a month and half. Other states
will keep their pools running for a few more
months.
The federal pool covers about 100,000
people and was created in 2010 by the
Affordable Care Act as a temporary bridge
until the law fully kicks in. It will cease to
exist at the end of December.
Im scared. Im in the middle of my cancer
treatment, and if my insurance ends, Im
going to have to cancel the rest of my treat-
ment, said Kelly Bachi, an Oklahoma boat
repair business owner who has breast cancer
and is covered through a pool.
Cancer treatment without insurance would
cost her about $500,000, she said.
Bachi has not been able to enroll via the
healthcare.gov federal website, although
not for lack of trying. She attempted to
sign up half a dozen times, was eventually
able to create an account, but was later
blocked from accessing the account.
Others including Jill Morin of Raleigh,
N.C., who has a severe heart condition and
is covered by her states pool have not
attempted to enroll.
Its the unknown, the uncertainty that
gets to me, Morin, 42, said. I dont know
what my cost will be at the end of the day. I
dont know if my two cardiologists and my
procedures are going to be covered under the
plan. There just isnt enough information
on that website.
But, she said, she has no choice. She must
pick a plan soon because she cant afford to
go without. She plans to go to an insurance
broker for advice, then contact the federal
call center to bypass the online marketplace
altogether.
State ofcials throughout the nation have
been scrambling to gure out how to help
people like Bachi and Morin.
Last week, the board of the Oregon
Medical Insurance Pool which covers
about 11,000 people ordered the state to
create a contingency plan for its members
because the states online exchange still has
not enrolled a single person.
Health law clock is ticking for sickest patients

WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion appears ready to give some labor unions
a break from costly fees under the new health
care law, a move that drew criticism from
Republicans who say it unfairly favors a key
White House ally.
In regulations published last week, the
administration said it intends to propose
rules that would exempt certain self-insured,
self-administered plans from the require-
ment to pay the fees in 2015 and 2016.
Health care experts say that could apply to
some union-sponsored health plans, though
its unclear how many. Labor ofcials down-
played any impact as miniscule, saying the
language would not include most of their
plans and doesnt address the wider changes
they have requested.
Labor unions have spent months com-
plaining the new law will drive up the costs
of certain health plans that are jointly
administered by unions and smaller employ-
ers. The White House has rejected a broader
request that union members in those plans be
eligible for federal subsidies.
Unions and many businesses groups also
have been complaining about the so-called
reinsurance fees, which start next year at $63
per person for everyone who has coverage.
The fee drops to about $40 a person in 2015
and even less the following year.
The temporary fee is designed to raise $25
billion over the next three years. The money
collected is intended to provide a cushion for
insurers from the initial hard-to-predict costs
of covering previously uninsured people
with medical problems. But unions and large
employers argue that they shouldnt have to
pay the fee because they wont benet from
the fund.
The Department of Health and Human
Services said in a statement that once the
rule is proposed the agency would consider
comments from interested parties before
moving forward. A White House spokes-
woman did not respond to a request for com-
ment.
Ed Fensholt, an attorney specializing in
health insurance compliance, said unions
might benet most from plans for an exemp-
tion since some of their multiemployer
plans are processed in-house, though he was
not certain of how many. By contrast, he
said, virtually all other employers contract
with a third party to administer their insur-
ance plans.
Some unions could get break from health care fees

WASHINGTON Senators from
President Barack Obamas own party
pressed him in person on Wednesday to
extend the enrollment deadline for
Americans to sign up for health insur-
ance because of the malfunctioning
website.
Obama invited Senate Democrats fac-
ing re-election next year to the White
House to discuss the problem-plagued
health care rollout that could affect
their races. The White House conrmed
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden
met with 16 senators to describe xes
that are being made to the website for
Americans to sign up for insurance
under his signature health care law.
The rollout of HealthCare.gov has
not been smooth to say the least
and I shared the concerns of Coloradans
directly with the president, Sen. Mark
Udall of Colorado said in a statement.
Consumers should have the time they
need to shop for a plan and enroll after
the widespread problems with the web-
site are xed.
But White House press secretary Jay
Carney rejected the idea of an exten-
sion of the March 31 deadline for
Americans to get insurance or face a
ne. We still believe that there is time
available to make the necessary
improvements to the website and to use
all the other means that we can to get
the information to the American peo-
ple who want to enroll in time for them
to do it, Carney told reporters.
Another Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor,
said he told Obama and Biden to x the
website immediately, address prob-
lems with the law and hold accountable
those at fault for the mistakes.
I wont let up until these problems
are xed, said Pryor, who faces a dif-
cult re-election next year in conserva-
tive-leaning Arkansas.
The meeting with Democratic sena-
tors, which was not listed on the presi-
dents public schedule, lasted about two
hours and also included White House
chief of staff Denis McDonough and
Jeff Zients, the presidents trou-
bleshooter for the website. Such a ded-
ication of time by so many top-level
ofcials reects concern for the politi-
cal fallout the problems could inict.
Obama meets with Senate
Democrats on health care
By Jim Kuhnhenn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS Beset by hard-to-keep
promises and a massive website fail-
ure, President Barack Obama traveled
to the heart of the Obamacare oppo-
sition Wednesday to give a pep talk to
the laws supporters.
Ad-libbing at a synagogue in
Dallas, Obama said he was the rst to
admit he was unhappy with the rocky
first month since new insurance
exchanges went live. He implored vol-
unteers and guides who are working to
help consumers to stick with it, cast-
ing it as an effort that would, eventual-
l y, be well worth the trouble.
As challenging as this may seem
sometimes, as frustrating as health-
care.gov may be sometimes, we are
going to get his done, Obama said.
And when we do when we do, not
if when we do, youre going to have
families all across this great state of
Texas who are going to have the secu-
rity and the wellbeing of high-quality,
affordable health insurance, he added.
The trip to Texas comes as his
administration seeks to mitigate the
damage from the website glitches and
from a public outcry over a promise he
repeatedly made if you like your
insurance, you can keep it that
turned out to be incorrect for millions
of Americans.
Before leaving Washington on
Wednesday, Obama tried to soothe the
concerns of 16 Senate Democrats fac-
ing re-election next year during a two-
hour White House meeting. Many of
those lawmakers are worried that the
problem-plagued rollout could nega-
tively affect their races.
Highlighting the laws benets at
Dallas Temple Emanu-El, Obama
encouraged participation in the mar-
ketplaces set up by the law. He said
nothing drives him crazier than know-
ing theres good insurance available
if only the website would work
properly.
This is like having a really good
product in a store, and the cash regis-
ters dont work, and there arent
enough parking spots, Obama said.

Russian fireball shows
meteor risk may be big
By Seth Borenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Scientists studying the terrifying meteor
that exploded without warning over a Russian city last winter
say the threat of space rocks smashing into Earth is bigger
than they thought.
Meteors about the size of the one that streaked through the
sky at 42,000 mph and burst over Chelyabinsk in February
and ones even larger and more dangerous are probably
four, ve or even seven times more likely to hit the planet
than scientists believed before the reball, according to three
studies published Wednesday in the journals Nature and
Science.
That means about 20 million space rocks the size of the
Chelyabinsk one may be zipping around the solar system,
instead of 3 million, NASA scientist Paul Chodas said at a
news conference.
Until Chelyabinsk, NASAhad looked only for space rocks
about 100 feet wide and bigger, guring there was little dan-
ger below that.
This meteor was only 62 feet across but burst with the force
of 40 Hiroshima-type atom bombs, scientists say. Its shock
wave shattered thousands of windows, and its ash temporar-
ily blinded 70 people and caused dozens of skin-peeling sun-
burns just after dawn in icy Russia. More than 1,600 people
in all were injured.
Up until then, scientists had gured a meteor causing an air-
burst like that was a once-in-150-years event, based on how
many space rocks have been identied in orbit. But one of the
studies now says it is likely to happen once every 30 years or
so, based on how often these things are actually hitting.
By readjusting how often these rocks strike and how dam-
aging even small ones can be, those two things together can
increase the risk by an order of magnitude, said Mark
Boslough, a Sandia National Lab physicist, co-author of one
of the studies.
NASA this fall reactivated a dormant orbiting telescope called
WISE specically to hunt for asteroids, Johnson said. And the
agency is expanding ground-based sky searches.

WASHINGTON The jobs report for
October due out Friday may be bleak. It
might even be scary. The unemploy-
ment rate could jump by the most in
three years. Hiring may slow from an
already weak pace.
Dont panic.
The ugly gures will reect the gov-
ernments partial shutdown, which
coincided with 16 days in October. The
trends for the job market will likely
reverse themselves in coming months.
Its going to be a very messy
report, and I dont think we think
should take it at face value, said
Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO
Capital Markets.
Economists warn that the unemploy-
ment rate could surge as high as 7.5
percent from 7.2 percent in
September. That would be the steepest
one-month rise since 2010.
The number of jobs added in October
could slow to roughly 120,000 from
the 148,000 added in September. That
isnt healthy. In the rst nine months
of this year, the average job gain was
180,000.
The shutdown will be mostly to
blame. But its effect on the data wont
be easy to tease out. Economists have
all but thrown up their hands trying to
forecast Fridays gures or to suggest
what they might mean. However the
numbers turn out, the distortions mean
the monthly jobs data will be less use-
ful in gauging the economys health
than they normally are.
We have much less condence in
these numbers than usual, economists
at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
wrote in a note for clients.
Why the confusion?
Consider how the jobs report is com-
piled: Its derived from two separate
surveys. Each survey will be affected
differently by the shutdown.
One is a household survey.
Government workers ask adults in a
household whether they have a job.
Those who dont but are looking for
one are counted as unemployed.
Why an unemployment spike
in October may not be so bad
U.S. trashes, sells its
unwanted gear in Afghanistan
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan The withdrawing U.S. mili-
tary is destroying most of the equipment it is leaving
behind in Afghanistan after 13 years of war, selling the
scrap for millions of dollars to those willing to buy it.
The policy stands in stark contrast to the Americans
withdrawal from Iraq, when they donated or sold still-usable
items worth about $100 million.
The equipment is being trashed, U.S. officials say,
because of fears that anything left behind in Afghanistan
could fall into the hands of insurgents and used to make
bombs. Leaving it behind also saves the U.S. billions of
dollars in transportation costs.
Afghans are angry at the policy, arguing that even furni-
ture and appliances that could improve their lives is being
turned into useless junk.
Bombings kill 16 in Syria
BEIRUT Bombs targeting the entrance of a landmark
Ottoman railway building in Damascus and a feared security
agency in Syrias southeast killed at least 16 people on
Wednesday, activists reported.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the
attacks, but rebels tied to al-Qaida have previously claimed
bombings of security institutions and have also targeted the
center of the capital, trying to take the war to the heart of
President Bashar Assads power.
Eight died and at least 50 more people were wounded in the
blast at the countrys railways authority, housed in a centu-
ry-old structure that was once the main Damascus train sta-
tion, reported state news agency SANAand activists.
Around the world

WASHINGTON The number of
poor people in America is 3 million
higher than the ofcial count, encom-
passing 1 in 6 residents due to out-of-
pocket medical costs and work-related
expenses, according to a revised cen-
sus measure released Wednesday.
The new measure is aimed at providing
a fuller picture of poverty but does not
replace the ofcial government num-
bers. Put in place two years ago by the
Obama administration, it generally is
considered more reliable by social scien-
tists because it factors in living expens-
es as well as the effects of government
aid, such as food stamps and tax credits.
Administration officials have
declined to say whether the new meas-
ure eventually could replace the ofcial
poverty formula, which is used to allo-
cate federal dollars to states and locali-
ties and to determine eligibility for
safety-net programs such as Medicaid.
Congress would have to agree to
adopt the new measure, which general-
ly would result in a higher poverty rate
from year to year and thus higher gov-
ernment payouts for aid programs.
Based on the revised formula, the num-
ber of poor people in 2012 was 49.7
million, or 16 percent. That exceeds the
record 46.5 million, or 15 percent, that
was ofcially reported in September.
The latest numbers come as more
working-age adults picked up low-
wage jobs in the slowly improving
economy but still struggled to pay liv-
ing expenses. Americans 65 and older
had the largest increases in poverty
under the revised formula, from 9.1
percent to 14.8 percent, because of
medical expenses such as Medicare
premiums, deductibles and other costs
not accounted for in the ofcial rate.
There also were increases for
Hispanics and Asian-Americans, part-
ly due to lower participation among
immigrants and non-English speakers
in government aid programs such as
housing aid and food stamps.
African-Americans and children,
helped by government benets, had
declines in poverty compared with the
ofcial rate.
This is a real incongruity, when 1
in 6 people face economic insecurity
here in the richest country in the
world, said Joseph Stiglitz, a
Columbia University economist and
former chairman of the White House
Council of Economic Advisers who
has argued for more government action
to alleviate income inequality.

Defeat of Measure P
Editor,
Alayperson reading the presenta-
tion of Measure P before the election
could readily see that the measure was
poorly written. There was not enough
specicity as to how and when the
funds would be expended. Though
some exibility must be allowed the
staff for administration of the funds,
voters are leery of any ill-dened
projects requesting huge funds.
The standard cry for support of edu-
cation by the voters no longer carries
as much impact. Already supporting
some of the highest sales taxes in the
state and enormous bonded indebted-
ness, voters are questioning each
measure for many reasons.
Perhaps the responsibility for the
poorly written measure lies with the
Board of Trustees, more so than the
elementary school district adminis-
tration. Voters, remembering how
Measure P failed, will certainly look
more carefully at the candidates for
the Board of Trustees when that elec-
tion next rolls around.

Trust is a two-way street
Editor,
This past month, an email written
by a PG&E contractor back in 2012
touched off a State of Emergency in
San Carlos. As the former head of
pipeline safety for the federal govern-
ment, I was intrigued to hear the dis-
cussions at a transparency hearing
arranged by state Sen. Jerry Hill last
week (Hill comes down on PG&E,
CPUC in the Oct. 29 edition of the
Daily Journal).
At the hearing, I learned that PG&E
had voluntarily disclosed the infa-
mous email to the city; in fact, the
company showed it as an example of
an open safety culture. Sort of a speak
up and youll be heard.
This email was undoubtedly recog-
nized, but PG&Es explanations were
not. San Carlos didnt recognize sen-
ior leadership acted upon the email.
They also did not know that the pre-
eminent pipeline-engineering rm in
the country analyzed the pipe in ques-
tion.
Thats not to say everything PG&E
says should be blindly accepted, but
trust is also a two-way street. The
calls for additional transparency by
PG&E and oversight by the
California Public Utilities
Commission have some merit. We
should learn from the past and learn
from this tragedy. Moving forward
requires every stakeholder to be
invested in safety, but it also requires
us all to have faith in the system and
in the oversight of that system by
federal and state regulators.

The importance of Israel
Editor,
I just nished reading Ms. Grays
latest polemic against Israel (letter to
the editor, Israel and food stamps in
the Nov. 5 edition of the Daily
Journal). Her use of the term
apartheid in referring to the state of
Israel demonstrates her anti-Israel
feelings. Israel is not an apartheid
state, there are even Palestinian mem-
bers of the Knesset, Israels parlia-
ment. All Arab citizens of Israel have
all the rights and benets of citizen-
ry, rights that are not available to
non-Muslim citizens of many of the
surrounding states bordering on
Israel.
The fact is that because of the
dependability of Israel as an ally, the
United States has been able to with-
draw much of the naval task force that
was positioned in the eastern
Mediterranean as police presence
for any trouble in that area of the
world.
In a real sense, Israel acts as a sta-
ble aircraft carrier, readily able to
be used by the United States as a stag-
ing area and supply conduit if there is
a need.
Not having to have ships and per-
sonnel in the area is a tremendous
saving economically as well as risk
to our brave servicemen.

L
egislators of both parties
have enabled Sen. Ron
Calderon, D-Montebello,
while he has carried water for Indian
casinos, for-prot colleges and other
big-money interests.
Now that Calderon is the subject of
an FBI investigation, lawmakers are
trying to put space between them-
selves and the Calderon family, hop-
ing the public will forget.
They wont. If lawmakers really
want to distance themselves from the
Calderon legacy, they should take a
hard look at reversing some of its
most egregious giveaways. One place
is the payday-loan industry.
Calderon and his brother, former
Assembly member and state Sen.
Charles Calderon, are two of the
largest recipients of campaign contri-
butions from payday-loan outt s,
receiving more than $81,000 from
the industry between 2003 and 2011,
according to the National Institute on
Money in State Politics. The
Calderons also have been the biggest
impediments to effective regulation
of this industry, which preys on low-
income residents. As of 2011, some
17 states and the U.S. military had
effectively banned the practice.
According to the Center for
Responsible Lending, a consumer
group that opposes payday loans, 82
percent of payday loan fees $474
million come from borrowers tak-
ing out a new loan within two weeks
of paying off their last loan. How can
cash-strapped families get out of this
debt spiral? They cant, thanks to the
likes of the Calderons.
Charles Calderon effectively legal-
ized payday lending in California
when he served in the Legislature
more than a decade ago, with the max-
imum amount of each loan set at
$300. He and Ron Calderon then
attempted to push the cap to $500 in
2011.
In the most recent session, Sens.
Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa
Barbara, and Jim Beall, D-San Jose,
tried to limit payday loans to four per
year, with required underwriting and a
longer minimum repayment period.
Yet the bill got watered down and
ultimately defeated when it reached
the Senate Banking and Financial
Institutions Committee, where Ron
Calderon has been a longtime com-
mittee member.
If lawmakers want to cleanse them-
selves of the Calderon taint, cracking
down on payday lending would be a
good place to start.
Calderons taint extends to payday-loan industry
Riddle me this
T
aking a cue from Churchill, life is but a riddle
wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, or some
such thing.
If true, this means Kenny will be the only person who
may be able to figure the whole thing out. The rest of
us? Not looking so good.
Kenny, you see, is a puzzle
master (in addition to being
one of the Daily Journals
much-appreciated interns). The
word logic was crafted in his
honor. The descriptives
thoughtful and rationale
dont do justice.
This is why Kenny invokes
fear in my heart, not really of
him but of what he brings a
weekly puzzle along with very
sincere encouragement as my
brow furrows and mouth purses at each reading and
exasperated I just dont get it!
Youre overthinking it, hell tell me. Read each word
carefully, is another. Sometimes it is the dreaded, this
is one easier than last week so youre sure to get this
answer.
That does nothing but make my utter failure cut that
much more keenly.
Last week, Kenny presented the Holy Grail of puz-
zles. Apuzzle, he said, that he had yet to solve.
Wait, what? Such a thing exists? This puzzle must be
some sort of Excalibur, serving to anoint the true king
as everybody elses attempts to take the proverbial
word weapon from the stone prove them unworthy
weaklings.
Without reprinting the entire multi-paragraph conun-
drum, Ill sum up the blue-eyed island puzzle in this
haphazard way: An island of logicians 100 blue-
eyed, 100 brown do not know the color of their own
eyes and cannot communicate with each other. If one
figures out their own color, they can leave on the mid-
night ferry. One day, a green-eyed guru who lives
among the logicians uses her one lifetime chance to
speak by telling the group I can see someone who has
blue eyes. Question: Who leaves the island and on
what night? And the answer is not no one leaves.
Where is Spock when a befuddled girl needs a cheat
partner?
One coworker was smart, refusing to even read the
puzzle once she saw the length and heard Kennys con-
fession of his own difficulty. I and another news scribe
took turns putting his puzzle through illogical paces
before throwing in the towel. Example: what is the
likelihood one of the logicians has red eyes? Does the
guru know her own eye color?
Journalists werent made for logic. We were made for
the man bites dog, the yeah, but what about this?
possibilities, the truth being stranger than fiction.
But the copy editor took the cake for puzzle commit-
ment, announcing on Election Night that hed been
thinking about the puzzle all week. The puzzle drove
him so batty (tinges of John Nash, anybody?) and by
extension the loved ones he clobbered with it, too, he
finally looked the answer up on the Internet. Now, the
conversation moved beyond discerning an answer to
parsing out and dissecting every aspect of that conclu-
si on.
Frankly, Im not so much interested in the logical
answer to the departees as I am to the other questions
the puzzle raises. Like, if the guru only has one oppor-
tunity to speak, why in the heck would she waste her
breath on announcing eye color? And why are these
people even on the island? Or on an island at all?
Why not a town?, someone across the newsroom
asked. Because then they could leave, I replied. You can
leave an island, he retorted. What island cant you
leave?
How about Alcatraz? I said. There are ferries, he coun-
tered. That one in Castaway! was my verbal volley,
But Tom Hanks eventually got off that island, he said
guess Kenny isnt the only logician in the room.
Sure he did, I said, after years of hanging out with a
volleyball and slowly going stir crazy. On second
thought, the loneliness isnt what probably got to his
character. More likely, among those FedEx boxes
stranded with him, Hanks found a book of unanswered
puzzles. Must have been on its way to Kenny.

Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK There werent any
major economic developments or
blockbuster earnings. But that didnt
stop investors from pushing the Dow
Jones industrial average to another
record Wednesday.
Instead, investors focused on the big
economic news yet to come this week
third-quarter U.S. economic growth
on Thursday and the October jobs
report Friday. Both reports could sig-
nal how much longer the Federal
Reserve will continue its $85 billion a
month in bond purchases. That pro-
gram has held down interest rates, kept
bond yields low and made stocks more
attractive for investors.
The Dow notched its 33rd record
close for the year, rising to 15,746.88
with some help from Microsoft, which
rose after analysts at Nomura said
investors should focus on how the
companys fortunes could improve
once it picks a replacement for CEO
Steve Ballmer.
Microsoft shares gained $1.54, or
4.2 percent, to close at $38.18 after
the report from Nomura, which also
raised its price target for the company.
Other indexes also gained, but not as
much.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
also went up, but not quite enough to
set another record. The Nasdaq com-
posite and the Russell 2000, an index
of small-company stocks, edged
lower. The patchy performance of the
overall market suggests that investors
may be getting wary of stocks after
this years strong gains, said Sam
Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P
Capital IQ.
Stovall said he did not think the mar-
kets advance was in danger of being
derailed, but said investors are still a
little bit nervous.
The Dow climbed 128.66 points, or
0.8 percent. The S&P 500 index rose
7.52, or 0.4 percent, to 1,770.49, just
one point below its all-time high set
Oct. 29. Its up 24 percent so far this
year.
The Nasdaq composite fell 7.92
points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,931.95.
The index reached a 13-year high at the
end of last month.
The Dow record came a day before
one of Wall Streets most anticipated
events of 2013, Twitters initial public
offering. The stock was expected to
debut on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol TWTR.
If this weeks growth and employ-
ment reports offer weak signals on the
economy, they could foretell a longer
period of Fed stimulus.
Economists expect that the U.S.
economy grew at an annualized pace of
2 percent in the July-to-September
period, down from 2.5 percent the pre-
vious quarter, according to FactSet, a
nancial data provider. They also fore-
cast that U.S. employers added
122,000 jobs in October, down from
148,000 the month before.
In other news Wednesday, Ralph
Lauren was among the biggest gainers
in the S&P 500.
The luxury retailer rose $9.33, or 5.5
percent, to $180.52 after raising its
sales forecast for the year in anticipa-
tion of a strong holiday season. Ralph
Lauren also increased its quarterly div-
idend by 12.5 percent to 45 cents.
Tesla Motors was among the biggest
decliners in the Nasdaq. The electric
carmakers stock sank $25.65, or 14.5
percent, to $151.16 after it reported a
loss. Analysts had been expecting a
prot. The stock is still up almost 350
percent this year after the company
turned a prot and won raves for its
Model S sedan, which starts at
$70,000.
The drop in Teslas stock was so
steep that it triggered a circuit break-
er on the Nasdaq exchange.
The rule, introduced by the Securities
and Exchange Commission to prevent
big stock declines from snowballing,
puts restrictions on short-selling a
stock that has dropped 10 percent or
more from the previous days closing
price. When traders sell stocks short,
they borrow the stock and immediately
sell it in the hope of being able to buy
the shares back later at a lower price.
Investors lift Dow Jones to another record close
Twitter sets IPO price at $26, set to raise $1.8B
NEWYORK Twitter has set a price of $26 for its initial
public offering of stock, which means the companys
shares can begin trading Thursday on the New York Stock
Exchange.
The price values Twitter at more than $18 billion based on
its outstanding stock, options and restricted stock thatll
be available after the IPO. Thats more than Macys, which
has a market capitalization of $17 billion, and Bed Bath &
Beyond, which is around $16 billion.
The pricing means the short messaging service will raise
$1.8 billion in the offering, before expenses.
Twitter, which has never turned a prot in its 7 years in
existence, had originally set a price range of $17 to $20 per
share for the IPO, but that was an obvious lowball designed
to temper expectations. It was widely expected that the
price range would go higher. Back in August, for example,
the company priced some of its employee stock options at
$20.62, based on an appraisal by an investment rm and
its unlikely to have lost value since.
Wells Fargo to pay $335M to settle FHFA dispute
Wells Fargo & Co. will pay $335 million to resolve
claims that it allegedly misled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
about risky mortgage securities that it sold them prior to
the housing collapse.
The San Francisco-based bank disclosed in a regulatory
ling Wednesday that it settled the claims with Fannie Mae
in its rst quarter and Freddie Mac in its third quarter.
According to the ling, the settlement with the organiza-
tions, which fall under the Federal Housing Finance
Agency, totaled approximately $335 million.
Wells Fargo and FHFAdeclined to comment further. Wells
Fargo shares added 15 cents to $42.48 in afternoon trading.
Fannie and Freddie dont directly make loans to borrow-
ers. They buy mortgages from lenders, package them as
bonds, guarantee them against default and sell them to
investors. That helps make loans available and gives
Fannie and Freddie a huge role in the housing market.
The two were rescued in a taxpayer bailout in 2008 as they
sank under the weight of mortgage losses.
The FHFA sued 18 nancial institutions in September
2011 over their sales of mortgage securities to Fannie and
Freddie, which own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mort-
gages. These types of securities soured after the housing
bubble burst in 2007, losing billions in value.
Tesla falls most in two years on battery shortage
Electric car maker Tesla Motors has a battery problem. It
doesnt have enough of them.
Thats one reason the high-ying companys shares fell
14.5 percent Wednesday, their sharpest drop in almost two
years.
CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday blamed a shortage of lithium-
ion battery cells for trouble meeting demand for Teslas lone
vehicle, the Model S. Some cars that could have been sold
in North America were diverted to Europe to satisfy waiting
customers, Musk said on a conference call after Tesla
released third-quarter earnings.
There wont be any relief until next year, when a deal to
get more batteries from supplier Panasonic kicks in, he
said.
Shares of the Palo Alto company dropped $25.65 to
$151.16.

SANTA CLARA At last, Mario
Manningham is back in game-week mode.
And that has a far better ring to it than rehab
mode given the countless hours he has spent
for much of the last year
nursing himself back to
health following major
knee surgery.
Manningham walked
through the locker room
Wednesday, binder in hand
and headed for meetings
with the expectation that
he will play for the San
Francisco 49ers (6-2) in
Sundays game against
Carolina (5-3), even if
coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to formally say
so.
Mario, hes a receiver whos easy to throw
to, so its not going to take much time for him
to get back up to speed, quarterback Colin
Kaepernick said.
Manningham is on the
active roster again nearly
11 months after a knee
injury derailed his season
and forced him to the side-
lines long before the Super
Bowl run. Michael
Crabtree is back on the
practice eld six months
after he suffered a torn
right Achilles tendon that
also sent him to surgery.
Kaepernick credits both of his star wideouts
for returning to their former explosive selves
so soon. Such compliments go a long way.
Its important when it comes from your
teammates, Manningham said. I know I can
get better, everybody can always get better.
Im trying to take it step by step and do what I
can do to make my team look better. Im prac-
ticing like Im playing, just trying to make
plays and come out with a W.

Ayear removed from Stanfords
17-14 overtime victory over
Oregon last year, its safe to say
not much as changed.
Oregon is undefeated, yet
again, and still possesses an up-
tempo offense that ranks second
in the nation in scoring output.
Stanford, with one loss, wants to
run the ball, control the clock, and
outlast their opponents in a phys-
ical grudge match.
The most important similarity
between the two teams, however,
resides with the two players in
charge of kicking duties, a facet of
the game that ultimately decided
the victor in last years meeting in
Eugene, Ore.
In overtime with the two teams
tied at 14, Oregon kicker
Alejandro Maldonado jogged onto
the eld to attempt a 42-yard eld
goal. With the national spotlight
shining bright on him,
Maldonado failed to deliver.
Maldonado hooked a kick left that
banged off the left post causing
the entire fan base at Autzen
Stadium to drop their jaws in dis-
belief.
Eventually, Stanford place kick-
er Jordan Williamson came on and
successfully nailed a 37-yard eld
goal to give the Cardinal the vic-
tory.
Coincidentally, Williamsons
been in the same boat as
Maldonado and has shown that
moving on from such a traumatic
gridiron experience is in fact pos-
sible.
A year prior to Williamsons
game winning eld goal against
Oregon, Stanford lost in overtime
41-38 to Oklahoma State in the
2011 Fiesta Bowl. Again, all eyes
were on the kicker from Stanford,
but this time there was a slightly
different result in the way the
game nished. Williamson missed

ou hear it on an almost daily
basis and nearly everyone
involved with professional
sports agree, sports is a business. Im
denitely starting to question that.
Because in what business is it accept-
able for employees to harass, bully and
intimidate other employees based on
their amount of service time? Or, for
management to not only condone it, but
encourage it?
Yet this appears to be the case in the
Miami Dolphins
scandal involving
a modern-day cave-
man (offensive
lineman Richie
Incognito) and a
teammate
(Jonathan Martin,
a former two-time
All American
offensive lineman
out of Stanford).
And its time for
the NFL to put an
end to it, or have
someone else step
in and do it for them, because if these
organizations are unwilling to rid these
deplorable actions from their cultures
there needs to be some major repercus-
sions.
First off, Incognito, based on research,
is just a bad guy and if another NFL team
gives this guy a job, given his back-
ground, there is something wrong with
that organization.
Secondly, Miami owner Stephen Ross
should also re his entire coaching staff
and general manager for not only doing
nothing to stop this, but allegedly
encouraging it. The latest twist is
Incognito was told to, basically, light a
re under Martin to get him to participate
in the teams voluntary off-season
workout program. As radio host and

ALAMEDA As soon as D.J. Hayden
woke up, he ashed back one year to the day
he almost died in a practice collision.
Hayden got an encouraging text message
from his mother Wednesday morning and he
said he just felt blessed to be living after
undergoing emergency heart surgery last
Nov. 6.
After battling his way back from a near-
death experience, Haydens growing pains
as a rookie cornerback in the NFL for the
Oakland Raiders appear like minor impedi-
ments rather than shaking his condence
after a rough outing last week against
Philadelphia.
Im just truly blessed, he said. Truly
blessed to be living right now. Truly
blessed to be in the NFL right now. Im just
truly blessed.
Hayden collided with a teammate in prac-
tice at Houston one year ago, tearing a
blood vessel off the back of his heart. He
was rushed into immedi-
ate surgery for a tear of
the inferior vena cava,
the large vein that carries
blood from the lower half
of the body to the heart.
The injury is 95 per-
cent fatal in the field,
according to doctors, and
is most commonly asso-
ciated with high-speed
motor vehicle accidents.
Hayden didnt know if hed ever be able to
walk again, much less play football. But he
eventually recovered and worked his way
back to get drafted 12th overall in April by
the Raiders. After a setback in May when he
had to undergo surgery to repair an abdomi-
nal scar, Hayden was nally cleared for con-
tact midway through training camp and has
played all eight games so far this season.
Nothing in football can compare to what
he had to go through and the type of mental
Raiders DB feels blessed

Girls tennis
The top two seeds in the singles and dou-
bles draws will face off in the nals of the
Peninsula Athletic League girls tennis
championships today at Burlingame begin-
ning at 3 p.m.
In the singles tournament, top-seeded
Cindy Liu of Hillsdale will face No. 2-seed
Cori Sidell of Carlmont in the champi-
onship match. Liu beat Menlo-Athertons
Amelia Tiemann and Burlingames Natalie
Somers in the quarternals and seminals,
respectively. Liu won both matches in
straight sets and, in three tournament
matches, Liu has lost a total of two games
over six sets of play.
Sidell has been equally impressive. In her
three matches, Sidell has lost four games.
She beat Hillsdales Bella Mercardo in the
quarternals and followed that with a victo-
ry over No. 3 Lizzie Siegle of San Mateo in
the seminals.
The Liu-Sidell championship match is the
rubber match between the top two players in
the PAL as they split their season series. In
their rst meeting, Liu rallied from a set
down to top Sidell 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. Two weeks
later, Sidell beat an ailing Liu in straight
sets, 6-3, 6-4.
In the third-place singles match, Siegle
will face Somers.
The doubles nals also features the top
two teams facing off, with No. 1 Mariko
Iinuma and Natalie Spievack of Hillsdale
taking on Aragons Kaede Ishikawa and
Victoria Sun, the No. 2 seed.
Iinuma and Spievack, who were the
Knights No. 3 and No. 2 singles players,
respectively, during the regular season,
punched their ticket to the nals by beating
Burlingames Haley Shaffer and Madeline
Somers in the quarternals in straight sets
and then beating No. 4 seed Sammy Andrew
and Lindy LaPlante.
Through three matches, Iinuma and
Spievack have yet to lose a set and have
dropped only seven games.
They will get their stiffest test to date
against Ishikawa and Sun. The Aragon duo
cruised to a straight set win in the quarter-
nals, but needed to rally in the seminals to
beat the Burlingame team of Alex Harrigan
and Lisa Patel. The Burlingame duo won the
rst set 6-4 before Ishikawa and Sun won the
second set 6-0 and closed out the match with
a 6-2 win in set No. 3.
The third-place doubles match pits Andrew
and LaPlante against Harrigan and Patel.

Sequoia was led by George Archibold, who
nished with three goals. Robert Vogel added a
pair of goals for the Cherokees.
Menlo nishes the regular season with a 21-3
record, the fourth time in school history the
Knights have nished a season with three or
fewer losses. Menlo was 28-1 in 2006, 32-3 in
2005 and 32-3 in 2001.

Local sports roundup

Klay Thompson scored 19 of his 30
points in the fourth quarter and Harrison
Barnes scored 14 points in his season debut
to help the Golden State Warriors to a 106-
93 victory over the Minnesota
Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
David Lee had 22 points and 15 rebounds
and Andre Iguodala scored 20 points for the
Warriors (4-1), who entered this season
brimming with condence following last
years run to the second round of the play-
offs.
Kevin Love had 25 points, 16 rebounds
and six assists for the Timberwolves, who
have lost two straight after a 3-0 start.
Kevin Martin added 23 points, but the
Wolves bench was outscored 27-10.
Stephen Curry had just ve points on 2-
for-8 shooting with seven assists in 24
minutes and sat out the fourth quarter with a
bone bruise on his left foot.
When Thompson found the mark, Curry
wasnt needed.
Thompson was 2 for 9 in the rst half, but
hit his rst seven shots of the second half to
help the Warriors pull away. With backup
shooting guard Alexey Shved off to a terri-
ble start, Wolves coach Rick Adelman had
no choice but to try 5-foot-11 J.J. Barea on
the 6-7 Thompson.
Predictably, Thompson just rose right up
and shot over the little guy, drilling 3 after
3 in the second half. He scored 11 straight
points for the Warriors in the fourth quarter,
the last a soft jumper for a 94-80 lead, and
the Warriors never looked back.
Barnes missed the rst four games with
left toe inammation. He was a game-time
decision, but he entered
the game with just over 5
minutes to go in the rst
quarter and made an imme-
diate impact. He hit two
quick jumpers and scored
on a pretty reverse layup
to ignite the uncharacter-
istically sluggish
Warriors offense, and the
second unit chewed the
Wolves bench up to start the second quarter.
The only thing that prevented the
Warriors from pulling away in the rst half
was the struggles from the sharpshooting
backcourt. Curry and Thompson combined
to shoot 3 for 14 in the rst half and the
Warriors, who entered the game making a
league-high 13.3 3s per game, went 0 for 8
from long distance.
The Warriors got a mini-scare in the third
quarter when Curry got tangled up with
Ricky Rubio and walked away limping.
Trainers looked at his right ankle and right
knee, but he quickly returned to the game.
The Wolves cut a 10-point decit to 67-64
with four minutes to go in the third, but
Iguodalas 3-pointer off of a turnover by
Love pushed it back to 75-64.
NOTES: Rubio had another rough night.
He had seven points on 2-for-8 shooting
with seven assists and four turnovers. ...
Curry, a career 90 percent free throw shoot-
er, missed one in the second quarter. He
missed 29 last season. ... Barnes had a
vocal cheering section behind one basket.
He grew up in Ames, Iowa, about a 3-hour
drive from the Twin Cities.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. John Moftt wasnt unhappy
with a lack of playing time in Denver. He quit the NFL
because hed lost his love for the game and was tired of risk-
ing his health.
The third-year guard from Wisconsin called the Broncos
from his home in Seattle this week to notify them he would-
nt be returning to the team following its bye.
Then he announced on Twitter that he was calling it a
career, saying, Football was fun but my head hurts-haha
kidding roger goodell. Im on to new things, thanks to
everyone along the way!!!
The Broncos put him on their reserve/left team list on
Tuesday when they activated center J.D. Walton from the
physically unable to perform list.
They have ve days to formally release Moftt, who left
more than $1 million on the table, including about
$312,500 for the remainder of this season and $752,500 in
non-guaranteed salary in 2014.
Moftt, who signed a four-year contract for nearly $3
million after Seattle made him the 75th overall draft pick in
2011, said he knows teammates and fans dont understand
how he could forgo the fame and fortune of pro football.
I just really thought about it and decided Im not happy.
Im not happy at all, Moftt told The Associated Press in a
phone interview from Seattle. And I think its really mad-
ness to risk your body, risk your well-being and risk your
happiness for money.
Everybody, they just dont get it and they think its
crazy. But I think what I was doing is crazy.
He said he didnt want to see things through this season
for the shot at a Super Bowl.
I dont care about the Super Bowl. I dont, Moft t
insisted. I used to. I mean, anytime I played this game, I
gave my heart to it and Im a person that does thing with his
heart. ... I dont need the Super Bowl experience. I played in
great stadiums and I played against great players. And I had
that experience and its enough.
The Broncos acquired Moffitt on Aug. 20 from the
Seahawks after hed lost out on one of two starting guard
spots in Seattle during training camp. He played in two
games for the Broncos (7-1).
Moftt, 27, made about $1.8 million before taxes in his
2 1/2 seasons in the NFL.
Ive saved enough. Its not like Im sitting here and Im
a millionaire, he said. Thats what I kind of realized. Im
sitting here and I got to this point and I was like, what is
the number that you need? How much do you really need?
What do you want in life? And I decided that I dont really
need to be a millionaire.
I just want to be happy. And I nd that people that have
the least in life are sometimes the happiest. And I dont
have the least in life. I have enough in life. And I wont sac-
rice my health for that.
Moftt stressed that hes not passing
judgment on his former colleagues, say-
ing, This is all my personal stuff and I
respect this game and I respect the men in
this game.
Although Moftt never had a history of
concussions, he acknowledged all the
blows he sustained in practices and
games concerned him.
Im not trying to be the poster boy for
Oh, I thought I should leave because of concussions. Im
just saying, its a valid point, Moftt said. I love the
game and I respect the game and everybody who plays it
knows what they risk and I knew what I risked when I
played, and Im no longer willing to risk it.
Moftt majored in sociology at Wisconsin and said his
world view was really shaped over the last couple of years
when he began studying the writings of the Dalai Lama and
Noam Chomsky.
Now that hes out from behind the NFL shield, Moft t
said hes looking forward to speaking his mind on the radio
and in podcasts hes going to produce. He said he has plen-
ty of opinions to share on everything from philosophy to
politics, although he has less to say about sports.
He said he also wants to go on a diet now that he doesnt
have to maintain his 319-pound physique.
Moftt said the timing of his decision had nothing to do
with Walton being activated from the reserve/PUP list,
although Im glad it worked out like that. And he said he
felt bad his decision coincided with coach John Foxs heart
operation.
He doesnt regret playing football, either.
Obviously, I wish things worked out better in Seattle. I
wish I played more there, but I loved college football. I
loved being in Seattle playing football. It wasnt always
the easiest, but I live here now and Im thankful, he said. I
look back and Im thankful for the whole experience. Thats
enough for me.
Moftt said he wants to spend more time with his parents
in Connecticut and with his girlfriend and her 5-year-old
daughter in Seattle. He said his father is my best friend and
I never get to see him.
Moftt said hell miss playing in games and goong
around with the guys, but hes glad the rest of his NFL life
is over.
Once you tear away all the illusions of it, its hard work.
And its dangerous work. And youre away from your family.
And its not good for families. Its very tough on families,
he said.
Moftt is also glad to leave the league on his terms.
Im ready to go to work and start doing other things
right now, Moftt said. So, its a smoother transition and
Im still young enough to start a career and my bodys
healthy and Im good. I look at it as a great start to life, you
know?
Denver OL walks away from NFL, $1 million

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAVIE, Fla. Miami Dolphins tackle Jonathan
Martin talked of quitting football earlier in his pro career
before leaving the team last week to undergo counseling
for emotional issues, two people familiar with the situa-
tion said Wednesday.
One of the people said Martin considered giving up the
sport because he was mistreated by
other offensive linemen on the
Dolphins. That person said Martin
now plans to continue his career.
Both people spoke to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity
because the organization has said lit-
tle about his departure.
Martins agent last week made alle-
gations of day-to-day harassment over
an extended period, prompting an NFL
investigation and the suspension of
veteran guard Richie Incognito. Commissioner Roger
Goodell appointed a New York lawyer with experience in
sports cases to prepare a report that will be made public.
The case attracted more than 100 reporters and camera-
men to the Dolphins complex Wednesday, and when the
throng entered the locker room after practice, a player
pushed the button on a boom box sitting at Incognitos
stall.
Circus music began to play.
And then the Dolphins, clearly weary of the circus
atmosphere, opened up. They passionately defended
Incognito and insisted they didnt see the blowup coming
that led Martin to leave the team, saying he and
Incognito were friends.
The whole thing, its kind of mind-blowing to me,
quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. Its kind of mind-blow-
ing to most of the guys on our team right now.
While players interviewed were unanimous in rallying
behind the embattled Incognito, they were less vehement
in their support of Martin.
I dont know why hes doing this, offensive tackle

95.7 The Game Wednesday afternoon,
thats like asking the guy with the sledge-
hammer to hammer a nail in the wall to
hang a picture.
And yet, many unnamed players in the
NFL back Incognito while assigning blame
to Martin. Stand up for yourself, hit the
bully in the mouth, handle it in-house,
be a man, handle your business. These
are all phrases that have been used to
describe what Martin should have done, as
well as suggesting he is less than a man, or
soft, for snitching on Incognito.
Personally, I cant think of anything
more manly than raising your voice and
letting the powers-that-be know you will
no longer stand for this type of treatment.
Being a man means making the tough
decision, knowing that your actions could
have serious repercussions against you and
doing it anyway.
Is there any better way to stand up to a
bully than by calling him out to the
authorities? Like Miami Herald reporter and
ESPN radio host Dan Le Batard said, Martin
chose the best of no-win choices.
In sports, there is too much of a street
mentality, which includes the battle cry of
snitches get stitches. Its time for a
majority of athletes to grow up and start
treating their own teammates with respect.
I think that is the most disturbing aspect
of this story: this is teammate-on-team-
mate harassment. I can understand going
after an opponent, getting in his head and
trying to break his will. But how, exactly,
does attacking your own teammate foster
camaraderie in the locker room?
And this includes all level of sports
high school and college as well. These
people are your teammates, for crying out
loud. How does humiliation and intimida-
tion increase the bond between teammates?
Well, it happened when I was a rst-year
player, goes the usual refrain. Well, its
time to break the cycle.

Within days of each other, a pair of NFL
coaches Denvers John Fox and
Houstons Gary Kubiak suffered life-
threatening health scares. Fox underwent
surgery to replace a faulty heart valve,
while Kubiak essentially suffered a mild
stroke on the sideline of the Texans game
against Indianapolis Sunday night.
The good news is both are expected to
make complete recoveries and maybe it
will also force the NFLs hand to take into
account the health of their coaches as well
as their players.
There has been a lot of talk over the last
couple of years about the impact the game
has on the well-being of their players, con-
sidering many suffer from brain injuries
and problems with various other body parts
following their career and the league has
taken steps to address those issue.
But what about the coaches? These guys,
literally, sleep in their ofces and reports
are Kubiak had spent the better part of
three weeks at the Texans facilities, trying
to gure how to turn around his teams fail-
ing season.
These are not the rst coaches to suffer
due to the stresses of the game. They are
just the latest and something needs to be
done to protect these type A personali-
ties from themselves.
Really, how much can be accomplished
on cat naps and coffee during a 20-hour
work day? How well did you do on that test
you spent all night cramming for? I never
did very well. Seems there becomes a point
of diminishing returns by spending 20
hours in the ofce, trying to put a nger on
a teams problems. If you cant gure it out
in 10 to 12 hours, go home, get some rest,
and attack the problem with a clear head
the following day.
Im not sure what can be done, short of
an NFL ofcial standing guard and kicking
coaches out of their ofces at midnight.
But the stresses of coaching the NFL needs
to be addressed before one of these guys
dies on the sideline or in the chair at their
desk.

Tyson Clabo said. And the only person
who knows why, his name is Jonathan
Martin.
Martin, a 24-year-old second-year pro,
was briey hospitalized after he left the
team and is now with his family in
California.
Tannehill said he was shocked when
Martin departed.
Its tough for me, because you cant help
a situation that you didnt know existed
that no one on this team knew existed,
Tannehill said. We have a bunch of good
guys in this locker room. To be put in a sit-
uation where everyones attacking the lock-
er room saying its such a bad place, such a
bad culture, no leadership to stand up and
stop the situation no one knew there was
a situation to be stopped.
Incognitos alleged harassment of Martin
included voicemail and text messages that
were racist and threatening, but several
players said the two were close.
If you had asked Jon Martin a week
before who his best friend on the team was,
he would have said Richie Incognito,
Tannehill said. The rst guy to stand up for
Jonathan when anything went down on the
eld, any kind of tussle, Richie was the rst
guy there. When they wanted to hang out
outside of football, who was together?
Richie and Jonathan.
Guard John Jerry said he never heard
Incognito use the racist term included in one
voicemail and wouldnt have objected any-
way.
I would have just laughed it off, Jerry
said. I know the type of person he is, and I
know he doesnt mean it that way.
Everybodys got friends that when youre
out, they say those type of things. Its
never made a big deal.
Incognito, 30, was kicked off his team at
Nebraska, and has long had a reputation as
one of the NFLs dirtiest players. But he has
been universally praised by his teammates
this week.
Does he like to give guys a hard time?
Yes. Does he like to pester guys and have
fun? Yes, Tannehill said. But he brought a
lot of laughter to this locker room, he
brought a lot of cohesiveness to this locker
room and he was the best teammate that I
could ask for.
For Martin, the nal straw was a lunch-
room prank at the team complex, and he
then left the squad. Tannehill and Jerry said
the same prank has been pulled on many
other players.
Hijinks are especially common among
the offensive linemen, Clabo said.
We have a system of basically its just a
big joke, basically, he said. It helps cama-
raderie. It keeps things light in the room.
Everyone participates. No one is exempt
and so I dont see how ... we would all be
guilty of bullying.

College football has never had a Thursday
night like this though you can expect more
of them in the future.
Two games with championship implica-
tions, matching four highly ranked teams.
No. 12 Oklahoma at No. 5 Baylor, with rst
place on the line in the Big 12, kicks off at
about 7:30 EST on Fox Sports 1. Then, a few
minutes after 9 p.m., comes No. 2 Oregon
against No. 6 Stanford, the Pac-12 game of the
year.
Alot went into it to get us here and a lot had
to break right, said Ilan Ben-Hanan, ESPN
vice president of programming and acquisi-
tions. Now that its here, were so red up.
The folks over at Fox Sports are psyched,
too. OU-Baylor is one of the biggest events
the edgling all-sports cable channel has
shown since it went on the air last summer. Its
the type of game that Fox ofcials hope can
accelerate the growth of FS1 and help build a
regular audience.
We like to call them tent-pole events. This
is one, said Bill Wanger, executive vice pres-
ident of research and programming for Fox
Sports.
Thursday night college football has been a
staple on ESPN for more than two decades,
with games regularly involving ranked teams.
The Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big
East were among the rst conferences to
embrace the idea of playing televised games
on Thursday nights as a way to shine a spot-
light on their leagues.
ESPNs most viewed Thursday night game is
No. 3 Texas49-39 victory against Texas A&M
on Thanksgiving 2009. Second was USC-
Oregon State in September 2008, a memorable
upset of the top-ranked Trojans.
Weve always told our conference partners
Thursday night is a big-time opportunity to
gain exposure because everybody is watch-
ing, Ben-Hanan said. On Saturdays the
games tend to wash over you. Theres some-
thing great about that too. Thursdays are differ-
ent. Your teams have the stage to themselves.
It becomes a really cool spotlight opportuni-
t y, and our partners have embraced it.
The Pac-12 and Big 12 embraced it when
they each signed multibillion dollar television
rights contracts with ESPN and Fox.
The deal calls for each conference to make
four games available to the networks for week-
day broadcasts every season.
Pac-12 deputy commissioner Kevin
Weiberg, who was once the commissioner of
the Big 12, said the trend toward playing more
night games is tied to conferences seeking to
unlock more value in their television rights
deals.
ESPN and Fox make recommendations on
matchups theyd like to be made available,
mindful of certain guidelines determined by
each conference, and then they divvy up those
games equally.
Weiberg said the Pac-12 ofcials didnt
think twice about playing what was potential-
ly the conferences most important game of
the season on Thursday night.

Nick Saban: Remains very
committed to Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Nick Saban says
he remains very committed to the
University of Alabama and disputed an
account of his agents conversation with
Texas early this year.
The Crimson Tide coach was asked
Wednesday about an Associated Press report
regarding his agents conversation in
January about possibly replacing Mack
Brown at Texas.
Sabans agent, Jimmy Sexton, indicated
that the coach would consider leaving
Tuscaloosa for the Texas job during a January
phone call, according to an email sent by
former Texas Regent Tom Hicks.
Sexton conrmed that UT is the only job
Nick would possibly consider leaving
Alabama for, and that his success there creat-
ed special pressure for him, Hicks wrote of
a call involving Sexton, himself and current
Regent Wallace Hall.
Asked about the account, Saban said: No
ones said anything like that.
First of all, I dont know where yall get
these reports and I dont know where yall
get the information, said Saban, who
smiled when a reporter asked about the AP
report. But Ive already commented on all
this stuff. Theres nothing new or different
thats ever happened. Im very committed to
the University of Alabama, love being here.
Weve talked about it before. Dont need to
talk about it again.
Weve got a big game with LSU this
week. Thats where our focus is and thats
what were focusing on. Theres really noth-
ing new to comment about.
Hicks detailed the call in a Sept. 24 email
that was obtained Tuesday by The Associated
Press through an open-records request.
Saban, who turned 62 on Oct. 31, has at
least twice said since the initial report of the
Texas conversation that he was too old to
take over another program.
Im too damn old to go someplace else
and start over, I can tell you that, he said
after the Tennessee game.
Sexton has declined to comment.
It isnt clear who initiated the contact
between the agent and Texas.
Two days after the call, Hicks approached
Brown about the possibility of the Texas
coach retiring. Brown, who is under contract
until 2020, said he wanted to stay. He has led
the Longhorns to ve straight wins and the
Big 12 Conference lead after an 0-2 start.

toughness that it takes to battle through the
injury that he battled through and to be able
to come back like hes been able to come
back, coach Dennis Allen said. I have no
doubt that he will be able to respond, hell
be able to come back and hell perform at a
high level. Not a lot of people have gone
through the things that he had to go
through.
Hayden has played about two-thirds of
Oaklands defensive snaps as the nickel cor-
nerback and has had an up-and-down cam-
paign so far. He struggled at the start of the
season but showed signs of improvement
with an interception against San Diego on
Oct. 6 and a forced fumble the following
game in Kansas City.
But he is coming off a disastrous perform-
ance against the Eagles. The rough day
started when he stopped in the middle of the
end zone as Riley Cooper ran past him to
make a 17-yard touchdown catch. On
Philadelphias next offensive play, Hayden
lost his footing a bit to lead to a 63-yard TD
pass from Nick Foles to Cooper.
This past game I gave up two touch-
downs and its something Ive got to put
past me. Ive got to keep going on to the
next play and getting better, he said. Its
about how you respond to it. I could have
made both plays, Ive just got to nish the
play. If Id have nished the play, who
knows what the outcome would have been.
Hayden later had tight coverage on
DeSean Jacksons 59-yard catch but was
unable to make a play on the ball. That has
been a recurring issue for Hayden this sea-
son as he has often been in position but just
unable to get his hands on the ball to break
up a pass or make an interception.
He was in position, teammate Charles
Woodson said. He was in position to make
plays. Those are plays hes going to have to
make going forward. I know hell replay
those plays in his mind every second of the
day going forward and hell gure out what
he needs to do to make those plays.
For the season, Hayden has allowed 26
catches on 40 throws with him in coverage
for 376 yards and three touchdowns. He has
the one interception and has allowed a 110
passer rating against.
NOTES: QB Terrelle Pryor practiced fully
three days after leaving a game with a sore
knee. ... RB Darren McFadden missed prac-
tice after re-injuring his groin that forced
him to miss a game earlier this season. ...
WR Juron Criner (shoulder), RT Tony
Pashos (hip), K Sebastian Janikowski
(ribs), LB Kaluka Maiava (ribs) and RTMatt
McCants (toe) did not practice. ... OLAndre
Gurode (quadriceps) returned to practice on a
limited basis.
Continued from page 11
RAIDERS
At the start of practice, the rst full session
for Crabtree since he was medically cleared
Tuesday, he planted hard with his healthy
right foot to cut inside on a short route.
Between drills, he shufed his feet in a little
jive as Bruce Springsteens Born in the
U.S.A. blared from the sound system.
Harbaugh wandered over for a glimpse of the
receivers doing their position work.
Good to have him back, 15 reporting eli-
gible, Harbaugh said earlier, referencing
Crabtrees uniform number. Everybody kind
of watches out of the corner of their eyes
doing their drills. Its neat to see any player
who comes back from a serious injury, under-
standing the grueling rehab thats taken place,
the mental toughness grinding through those
rehab sessions. ... Hell be on a pitch count.
Just imagine what San Franciscos 32nd-
ranked passing game might look like down
the stretch with these two back in the offen-
sive mix for Kaepernick to complement
Anquan Boldin. Suddenly, San Franciscos
players will allow themselves to think about
the added big-play potential for a unit already
on a nice roll and riding a ve-game winning
streak in which the team has scored at least 30
points in each victory.
Itll be crazy, running back Frank Gore
said. Looking back the way guys were play-
ing, especially with Kap and Crab on the eld
last year and how they were so used to break-
ing a lot of plays down the eld, the running
game will be getting easier. Thats big for the
team. Alot of teams are playing us with a lot
of people in the box. With those guys back
out there making plays, with the people who
are already making plays Vernon (Davis),
Anquan Boldin, adding Crab, Mario, thats
big.
Before his injury last December,
Manningham had 42 receptions for 449 yards
and one touchdown in 12 games and 10 starts.
He injured his left knee in a loss at Seattle Dec.
23 then underwent reconstructive surgery to
repair torn anterior cruciate and posterior cru-
ciate ligaments.
Crabtree, the teams 10th overall pick in the
2009 draft out of Texas Tech, established
career highs last season with 85 receptions
for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns. Then
Crabtree sustained the injury during 7-on-7
drills in an organized team activity May 21.
Manningham is likely to make his season
debut for the 49ers in Sundays home game
against Carolina. Crabtree shouldnt be more
than a couple of weeks behind him.
In Crabtrees case, the 49ers have slightly
less than three weeks before they must acti-
vate him.
I had the math since the surgery, ve
months, 27 days as of Sunday, so ve months,
30 days, today, Harbaugh said. Surprised? I
dont know the surprise there, I guess because
you watch them day to day. Successful surgery,
on track at every point, doing everything he
was asked to do by the doctors. All reports
were really good.
Continued from page 11
49ERS
three eld goals on the night, including a
potential game winner at the end of regula-
tion, as well as one in overtime. After the
game, Williamson wept in the locker room
with the unbearable feeling that somehow
he had let his team down.
It was really difcult because I had never
been through anything like that before,
Williamson told the Associated Press. Its
something you wont forget, but its some-
thing that you have to use to motivate you.
Though the game a battle whose win-
ner will be labeled the best team in the Pac-
12 wont necessarily come down to a eld
goal, Maldonado feels condent and ready
for anything to happen this time around.
I like kicking at Stanford,
Maldonadosaid. Im really comfortable
going down there. It gives me more con-
dence.
Maldonado isnt the only Oregon player
with something to prove against Stanford.
Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota, a
Heisman Trophy front runner who has yet to
throw an interception this season, has one
blemish on his nearly awless track record
a single loss. Mariota is 20-1 in his
career as Oregons starting quarterback, his
only loss coming against the Cardinal on
Nov. 17 of last year. For a guy who hasnt
experienced much defeat in his young
career, he believes that last years loss
against Stanford has beneted him in the
long run.
When you experience failure, it helps
you not fear it, Mariota said after practice
Saturday. Youll fear failure and thats not
how you play football. I think getting that
out of my system, going through that has
really helped me this year.
Despite being held to just 14 points in
last years matchup, Oregon still remains
condent that their offense will perform just
how they have for the entire season. Just
ask Ducks running back DeAnthony
Thomas.
Weve got a lot of guys that can con-
tribute to the offense and thats what makes
this offense so dynamic, Thomas said. I
feel like this team, we should at least put up
40 (points).
Stanford head coach David Shaw has no
problem with Oregon talking about their
scoring prowess, because the Ducks have
shown all season that they can score in
bunches.
Those guys are ring on all cylinders,
Shaw said. Ive seen them play and I have
no problem with [Thomas] saying that.
They score at least 40 on everybody. Thats
condence, not arrogance.
Stanfords defense, led by a veteran core
in the secondary, has yet to allow a team to
score more then 28 points this season.
Even without starting defensive end Ben
Gardner, who is out for the season with a
chest-muscle injury, the Stanford defense
expects to be an inconvenience for the
Oregon offense. They just have to mix up
their defensive front and not allow Oregon
to get comfortable.
If you stay static, theyll kill you, Shaw
said. So we have to be able to mix it up
while not making any mistakes. If you
make a mistake, theyll catch you (with a
big play).

specically for same-sex marriages for six
years now.
Colleen Rafferty co-founded the jewelry
store 18 years ago and said she is excited
her store is the rst and only one to carry
the Rony Tennenbaum line in all of
California.
Its fashion forward, something that
stands out and doesnt have a sameness to
it, Rafferty said.
Christensen and Rafferty Fine Jewelry
only started carrying Rony Tennenbaums
jewelry a couple of weeks ago, and it hasnt
received the entire order shipment, so there
hasnt been any clients requesting to see
the new pieces yet. However, Rafferty said
she has had same-sex clients in the past
and, in her experience, these couples arent
as interested in the typical, traditional
rings offered in her store. They tend to want
individualized rings.
Tennenbaum said same-sex couples often
arent looking for the ash of traditional
bands, but rather rings that are symbolic of
their love.
I try to focus on whats representative of
a couple, Tennenbaum said. I dont think
jewelry out there puts much into the sym-
bolism. LVOE and my other designs res-
onate with people; they have a signicance
other than being a gold ring.
Tennenbaum said part of his decision to
make jewelry specically for the gay com-
munity was people, especially recently,
were struggling with creating new customs
and traditions. Now that same-sex couples
are getting married, people are sorting out
new questions. Questions such as who pro-
poses to who, and do couples wear match-
ing rings, are starting to be answered.
[The decision to step out on my own]
was very clear-cut for me, Tennenbaum
said. Id done almost everything there was
to do [in the jewelry business.] I wanted to
focus that knowledge and experience on my
community. There was no one else doing it,
so I felt I needed to do it.
Another way Tennenbaum is making his
jewelry different from many other design-
ers is using what is know as EcoGold,
which is essentially using recycled gold
and other metals when making jewelry.
Using gold obtained through mining is
destructive to the environment and pol-
lutes water supplies, but using recycled
metals allows water to be mostly purified
of chemicals before being released back
into the environment.
The different Tennenbaum rings at the
San Mateo store include Shadow, LVOE,
Ripples, Air, Bricks, Euro, Tie the Knot and
a pav black diamond ring. The
Tennenbaum jewelry line prices start at
$675 and can go up to $3,500, Rafferty
said. Of the rings available so far at
Christensen and Rafferty, none of them
have a large gem in them. Most still seem
ashy because of the metal being shiny and
reective, but a couple stand out because
they have a solid, bold look that almost
demand your attention.
While this jewelry line was made with the
gay community in mind, anyone can pur-
chase these rings. Both Rafferty and
Tennenbaum said they have had clients who
arent gay express interest in
Tennenbaums jewelry.

Measure P only received 46.6 percent
approval, short of 55 percent voter
approval it required Tuesday, according to
semi-ofcial election results from the San
Mateo County Elections Ofce. The dis-
tricts Board of Trustees placed Measure P on
the ballot this summer to rebuild and expand
Bowditch Middle School to add Foster City
fth graders and reopen Knolls Elementary
School in San Mateo for the 2016-17
school year. It would have cost property
owners $19 per $100,000 assessed property
value.
The measure aimed to help the districts
issues with overcrowding. For the past ve
years, district enrollment has grown from
1,703 students from 10,079 to 11,782.
Trustee Ellen Mallory Ulrich helped lead
the opposition campaign and had worried
about equity in the district between schools
in Foster City and San Mateo.
With the level of engagement in the
community so high and the community
members knowledge of the districts issues
and needs so sharp and current, we are great-
ly anticipating a community wide discus-
sion on a plan that serves all of our students
to the best of our ability, Mallory Ulrich
said in an email.
The Bowditch plan would have brought
the school from 1,000 to 1,500 students.
The school would grow up and out adding
a oor and expanding on the ground level as
well. Bowditch is currently grades 6-8.
The measure would have allowed Knolls in
San Mateo, which has been used as a tempo-
rary overflow school, to reopen for the
2016-17 school year. This would have hap-
pened following a design process and con-
struction of about three years, taking about
$18 million. About $60 million to $80 mil-
lion would have gone to Bowditch in Foster
City expanding from 1,000 to 1,500 stu-
dents, adding a oor and expanding on the
ground level to address growing enrollment.
Yes on P was backed by those such as
Simms, board President Lory Lorimer
Lawson and Measure P co-chairs Daniela
Relaford and Doug Stoveland.
Voters previously approved Measure L, a
$175 million bond measure in 2008. There
is still $70 million in funds left from
Measure L, Lawson previously said.
Last year, the district nixed a $130 mil-
lion bond measure that would have proposed
buying up land in Foster City to build a new
school so it could better communicate its
goals with the public. This came after the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief recommended the
board replace Bowditch and move fifth
graders there, which was part of failed bond
measure.
The district will review the strategies and
processes it used during the campaign as
part of its next steps, along with reviewing
the polling data and consulting with its var-
ious constituent groups, said Molly Barton,
assistant superintendent of student services.

all blame KDF Hallmark for the early-morn-
ing re because of its failure to properly
inspect, maintain and safeguard the proper-
ty from a foreseeable unit re.
The re at the 72-unit apartment complex
at 531 Woodside Road is believed to have
started in a third-floor unit where the
deceased, 48-year-old Darin Michael
Demello-Pine, was cooking at about 1:45
a.m. The re then moved through the 1964
complex which was not outtted with sprin-
klers. In their respective suits, the plain-
tiffs said the Hallmark investment group
should have readily seen when purchasing
the building in 2003 that it lacked them and
other safeguards like smoke detectors.
Without them, what should have been a
localized fire, quickly extinguished by
sprinklers, turned into a six-alarm blaze,
the suits state.
The suits contend KDF Hallmark was
more interested in recouping its $8 million
investment as quick as possible than in
making basic improvements.
Tenants Jorge and Juanita Chavez led the
rst suit 11 days later and others have fol-
lowed. On Monday, a judge approved con-
solidation into one case.
In addition to suing, the tenants were left
trying to pick up the pieces of their former
homes. Landlord KDF Hallmark refunded
residents July rent and returned deposits
and gave letters of recommendations for the
former tenants to help them nd new hous-
ing. At least one and maybe more moved
into the Terrace Apartments down the road
which itself went up in ames Oct. 17. That
older building was also not required to have
sprinklers because it predated current re
code.
Hallmark attorney Kasey Townsend could
not be reached for comment.

Home beer and spirit-making
have become popular hobbies.
Bars and beverage stores feature a
growing range of artisanal spirits
and craft brews. Cocktail parties
are back in vogue.
And retailers are responding to
all this imbibing by offering furni-
ture, barware and accessories with
cosmopolitan air. All you need are
a few invitations, snacks and some
good music for the party to begin.
Lets pop the cork on whats
new:
Nowadays, entertaining does
not have to mean having a glitzy
full bar. Bar carts have become
more delicate, rened, and smaller
in scale, so you can tuck them into
a corner of a room or blend them in
with the rest of the furniture, says
Veranda magazines market editor
Catherine Lee Davis.
West Elms Parker slim-prole
cart in acorn-stained walnut veneer
with brass rail trim has a mid-cen-
tury vibe. The walnut-stained
Dodson cart features a ip-down
front concealing a mirror-lined
interior with plenty of storage.
And a cart in polished nickel with
two foxed mirror shelves evokes
Art Deco glamour. (www.west-
elm.com)
If you want the look of a built-in
bar, consider Pottery Barns modu-
lar collection of wine grids and
drawered cabinets. In black or
mahogany nish, the pieces can be
congured to look like a hutch or
buffet. (www.potterybarn.com)
Davis says that with barware, the
trend is toward shaking it up. We
see lots of different materials like
hammered silver, tortoise, or sha-
green, she says. Its all about
mixing and matching. After all,
entertaining should be about hav-
ing fun.
Gent Supply Co. has a natty col-
lection of coasters, glassware and
asks printed with illustrations of
turn-of-the-century gentlemen
duelers, narwhals, anchors, and
animals dressed in distinguished
garb. (www.gentsupplyco.com)
Artist Richard E. Bishop, known
for wildlife etchings in the 1930s,
40s and 50s, has his work on an
array of bar glasses and decanters.
Ducks, trout, foxes and horses set a
country house tone.
(www.richardebishop.com)
A punchbowl that rests in the
clutches of an octopus, and a
sculpted shell held by a delicate
coral stand are part of an aluminum
barware collection at Z Gallerie.
Theres also a faux crocodile serv-
ice tray in rich eggplant, studded
with silver rivets, that makes a
sophisticated statement.
Silver cocktail picks and stir
sticks topped with airplanes evoke
the Second World War. And a mir-
rored sign with phrases like
Stirred and Straight Up printed
in a gold retro font would make
great wall art. (www.zgallerie.com)
JC Penney has a whimsical yet
elegant wine decanter from
Michael Graves Design that fea-
tures his signature bird as built-in
aerator. (www.jcp.com)
At Homegoods, there are ham-
mered metal cocktail shakers with
handy drink recipes printed on the
side. Standing wine buckets are
useful accessories, leaving more
room on dining tables and buffets
for nicely-sized tools small
muddlers, sieves, scoops and
tongs, for example that will
have amateur bartenders looking
like experts.

Making a good martini may be
an art, but how about making your
own gin? No bathtub is required,
just a kit like one from Uncommon
Goods containing all the spices,
juniper berries and accessories
needed to turn garden-variety
vodka into a custom gin.

laser-etched cedar coasters depict
neighborhood maps of many major
cities, including Philadelphia,

Rasmussens black walnut
stemware is distinctive and beauti-
ful. All at www.uncommon-

Im no fan of winter, but I must
admit that the cooler tempera-
tures of the past few weeks have
given me a boost of energy.
Lately, I have had and a sense of
urgency to complete my fall gar-
dening tasks before the cold
weather arrives.
A quick glance around the gar-
den lets me know I am not alone
preparing for winter. Most, if not
all, of our trees have displayed
fall color. Some, like my
Japanese maples, are about to
peak while others, like our giant
old ash, have shed their leaves.
Trees are a good indicator of
weather conditions and this year
mine started showing fall color
about three weeks early. This
early display of color had little to
do with the arrival of cooler tem-
peratures. In fact, our fall weather
has been spectacular this year. It
has been warm and sunny, and not
a single one of my kids soccer
games has been cancelled due to
rain.
And therein lies the cause to the
early fall color. Warm sunny days
with no rain created extremely dry
soil conditions for our area.
Stress like that causes trees and
many shrubs to start the process
of dormancy sooner than usual in
an effort to conserve moisture.
Plants lose moisture through
their leaves, and if the ground
stays dry for too long, especially
at the end of the growing season,
trees will respond by dropping
their leaves early in an effort to
conserve moisture.
Fortunately, we received some
rain a couple weeks ago, and
within a day you could almost
hear a sigh of relief throughout
the garden.
Lack of moisture not only caus-
es trees to drop their leaves early;
it also causes leaves to become
dull in color. Even those trees in
my garden whose leaves had not
yet begun to change color were
listless and much less verdant
than they should be.
After a good soaking rain, they
looked vibrant again. Some, like
sugar maples and other late-to-
turn trees, got enough moisture to
hold on to their leaves a little
longer and produce brilliant fall
color in later weeks.
Once the leaves in my garden
begin falling, I start becoming
diligent about raking. I rake
about every three days so leaves
dont accumulate on the grass or
end up lodged in or under my
shrubs.
If leaves sit on top of grass for
too long, they can quickly cause
problems. A blanket of heavy,
wet leaves can kill patches of
grass fairly quickly by blocking
light and decreasing air circula-
t i on.
I dont get rid of my leaves
however; on the contrary I save
all of them and even ask my
neighbors for theirs! Leaves
make an excellent soil condition-
er, and once broken down into
what avid gardeners refer to as
leaf mold will very quickly
improve the quality of your soil.
Leaves can be added to regular
compost piles, but since they are
made up of mostly carbon, they
take longer to decompose than
ordinary compostable material
such as grass clippings or veg-
etable scraps, which consist
mostly of nitrogen.
Rather than add them to my
compost, I make large leaf piles in
a shaded area of my garden and let
them stay there for a full year to
break down. Leaves decompose
quicker when moist, which is why
I keep the piles in a shady loca-
tion.
After a year of decomposing,
the resulting leaf mold can either
be added as a top dressing to gar-
den plots or tilled in. Once you
start using leaf mold, you will
notice the difference in your soil
very quickly. If you also add com-
post to your garden along with
leaf mold, you will notice a big
difference in the growth and over-
all health of your plants.
Fallen leaves make a great soil conditioner
After they put on their fall show, these leaves can be put to good use in the garden.

Allergies can put a serious crimp in gar-
dening: A runny nose, itchy eyes, or a
wheezing and persistent cough can drive
allergy sufferers indoors during the grow-
ing season.
But there are many things you can do to
reduce those irritations and remain a dedi-
cated gardener.
Start by determining whats causing your
allergies. See an allergist for tests to
define the problem. Then you can garden
smarter by avoiding plants that give off
harmful pollen, and working only when
fewer spores are in the air.
An estimated 50 million Americans have
seasonal allergy problems, according to
the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of
America. The cause is pollen from plants,
trees, grasses, weeds and mold spores.
Peak season usually is March through
October, but that varies by region. Tree
pollen can be a problem for allergy suffer-
ers as early as January in the South.
The degree of distress ranges from
annoying to life threatening.
For most individuals, the gardening
allergies do, in fact, affect their quality of
life, especially during the seasons, said
Dr. Clifford Bassett, director of Allergy and
Asthma Care of New York. However, some
folks with allergic asthma may experience
a flare or exacerbation of their respiratory
symptoms that may become more serious,
and necessitates them to refrain from or
curtail gardening activities.
Some allergy avoidance tips:
Gear up. Medications suggested by a
doctor or pharmacist usually relieve the
symptoms, said Leonard Perry, an exten-
sion horticulturist with the University of
Vermont and an allergy sufferer. Those
should be begun a couple of weeks prior to
the onset of a particular allergy season so
the body can adjust and be ready, he said.
Wear a mask. Simple paper masks leak,
said Dr. Richard Weber, an allergist and
president of the American College of
Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. For
more sensitive allergy sufferers, he said,
it makes more sense to get the more
sophisticated masks with respirators on
each side of your face.
Planting sites: Be careful where you
grow things. Its a common practice to
use evergreens as foundation plants, yet
theyre pretty allergy-making, Weber
said. Imagine somebody sensitive having
a juniper outside their bedroom window in
summer. Theyd have lots of trouble.
Check the daily pollen count. Avoid
direct outside exposure on high pollen
days when it is sunny, dry and windy,
Bassett said. Pollen levels generally are
lower in early morning and late evening,
as well as on cloudy, windless and wet
days.
Eliminate problem plants, especially
weeds that can aggravate late summer and
fall allergies, Bassett said. Choose
plants that are less likely to cause aller-
gies, such as azalea, bulbs, cacti, daisies,
dahlia, pansies and petunias, dogwood
trees, hibiscus, boxwood and yucca
shrubs.
Clean up when done. Drop your cloth-
ing in a utility room and go shower,
Weber said. The pollen is in your hair,
eyelashes and nose. Do a saltwater wash
in your nose and get it out. That probably
helps more than any other item.
How to reduce allergies while gardening

Charley of the city attorneys office dur-
ing a presentation at the meeting.
The property is essentially bursting at
the seams, she said. FlightCar has pro-
ceeded to absolutely act contrary to the
norm and the violations are egregious.
FlightCars primary service is renting
out peoples cars through its website
while traveling, giving it a share of the
proceeds, free airport parking and a car
wash in exchange. Customers are taken by
limousine from a nearby airport parking
lot to their flights at the San Francisco
International Airport, while the company
says renters get a cheaper price.
In addition to issues with Millbrae, the
company ran into trouble this summer
with the San Francisco City Attorney
Dennis Herrera, who wanted to shut it
down until it complied with the regula-
tions, including conducting pickups and
dropoffs at a special area, paying 10 per-
cent of gross profits to the airport and
paying a $20 per rental transaction. This
summer the California Public Utilities
Commission proposed regulating ride-
sharing at SFO such as Lyft, SideCar and
UberX, which are currently prohibited
from operating at SFO. Petrovic said
FlightCar isnt affected by this regulation
since its limo service is licensed by the
airport and Public Utilities Commission.
Issues with the city of Millbrae include
three FlightCar rentals being stolen since
the company moved in to the 14,159-
square-foot 480 El Camino Real site of
two parcels that is part of the former
Daland Nissan, according to the police
department. The companys claim that one
cant report a stolen car for five days is
not true, police said. The suspects in the
cases have criminal records and this
invites crime into the city, police said.
However, FlightCar Co-founder and
COO Kevin Petrovic said the officer was
not correct in saying the company doesnt
do background checks and that they do,
but it only checks the driving record, not
the criminal record. He noted FlightCar
wants to expand these checks and its
working with its insurance provider to
prevent this kind of thing in the future,
including having better identification
checking policies and a better payment
verification methods.
FlightCar is a dynamic company and
its important to take that into perspec-
tive; we had a successful summer and were
also expanding, Petrovic said. Weve
been working tirelessly to bring the site
up to condition. Each and every one of the
conditions is met now. FlightCar has
gone far above and beyond the require-
ments of [the city] that did not themselves
know what they wanted in requirements
from FlightCar.
He went on to say that FlightCar is not
a business thats trying to operate in spite
of the city and that the results of the deci-
sion will have repercussions down the
line.
This is an administrative mess,
Petrovic said. The issue is whether
Millbrae is open to small business or
embarking on a crusade against it.
Petrovic cited extra hurdles the city
added for FlightCar, including when the
city asked the company to redo the con-
crete of the sidewalk when the company
asked for permission to paint the curb.
We were taken for a ride, he said. I
think the city was very kind in turning a
blind eye to let us do stuff there when per-
mitting wasnt place, but again we were
not badly intentioned either. It felt they
had to take corrective action to save face
and dont think were at fault for not
accomplishing all the stuff they wanted;
delays came from their side.
Members of the Planning Commission
were in disagreement with Petrovic.
FlightCar has not acted in good faith,
said Planning Commissioner Catherine
Quigg.
Concern about a number of accusations
and insinuations about the city was
brought up by Planning Commissioner
Lorrie Kalos-Gunn.
Were seeing a lot of safety concerns
left undone for a long time and thats
problematic, she said. To make blame is
not business appropriate. Its really trou-
bling me that this has gone this far. Im
willing to give the benefit of the doubt to
any entrepreneur willing to bring busi-
ness to this city, but it needs to be safe,
follow the rules, give young people an
opportunity to try a business, but this did
not work.
She also suggested forwarding the City
Council supporting information that
shows noncompliance such as the fact
that FlightCar hasnt paid the citys air-
port parking tax or obtained a business
license, Kalos-Gunn said.
Neighbors of FlightCar came to the
meeting to speak about their experiences
with the company.
Rob Moda, who lives on Hermosa
Avenue around the corner, complained
about double parking by the company and
extra people parking in the neighbor-
hood. He said hoped the noise and prob-
lems associated with the company would
end.
Another resident on Hermosa Avenue
said the companys bright, white flashing
lights have given her a migraine. She
requested FlightCar raise the light higher
so its not at eye level or change the color
of the light so its not so startling.
City officials found a number of other
issues with the business.
On Aug. 15, the Fire Marshal Jim Allan
observed two electrical generators on the
site and a neighbor on Hermosa Avenue
reported to staff that a generator had been
operating 24 hours a day. The use of the
generators was never approved, according
to a staff report. He also observed a
makeshift exhaust for the temporary gen-
erator attached to a portable toilet enclo-
sure. The downspout/exhaust stack was
unprotected and was very warm to the
touch and could have potentially reached a
temperature capable of burning skin,
according to the report.
Further, there was an empty fire extin-
guisher and no smoke detector in the tem-
porary office structure, unauthorized curb
painting and stored vehicles present a
potential Class B fire hazard. Dead plants
observed on the property also violated the
requirement that the landscape must be
maintained in neat, healthy and growing
condition, according to the report.
What will the company do if they do
lose the permit? Its not a situation that
will go away particularly quickly for the
city, Petrovic said.
Given the situation, we dont doubt it
[the city] will [revoke the permit],
Petrovic said. First we would file an
appeal, go through the process. Weve
been consulting with some attorneys and
pending result of that [appeal], then we
will take appropriate action to continue
operating when its resolved.
The Millbrae City Council next meets 7
p.m. Nov. 12 at Council Chambers, 621
Magnolia Ave.

counter what others want you to do. Assert your right

untold, the better. You want everyone to have a clear

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO Torontos embattled mayor
on Wednesday rejected the advice of city
council allies to take a temporary leave of
absence, returning to work a day after
acknowledging he had smoked crack.
Deepening the crisis, Rob Fords long-
time policy adviser resigned, continuing an
exodus that started in May when news reports
emerged of a video showing the mayor smok-
ing what appears to be crack. Police
announced last week they had a copy of the
video, which has not been released publicly.
After months of evading the question, Ford
acknowledged for the rst time Tuesday that
he smoked crack probably a year ago when
he was in a drunken stupor. But he has
refused to step aside despite immense pres-
sure.
Ford arrived at City Hall just past noon on
Wednesday but took a back stairway to his
ofce to avoid a crush of media.
The mayor later blew a kiss to members of
the media as he gave a tour of his ofce to
school children.
More than 200 people protested outside
City Hall.
Hey hey! Ho ho! Rob Ford has got to go!
they chanted.
City Councilor James Pasternak said the
controversy consuming Canadas largest city
cannot go on day after day. He said several
city councilors asked Deputy Mayor Norm
Kelly to approach Ford and orchestrate a dig-
nied exit from city hall.
Kelly met with Ford and suggested he take a
temporary leave until later this year or early
next year, but Ford rejected that idea.
Councilor Frances Nunziata, also a Ford ally,
said they are all frustrated Ford wont step
aside temporarily.
Theres nothing we can do. Hes the only
one who can make the decision, Nunziata
said. He needs to take some time off and get
the help he needs.
Kelly earlier said Ford didnt tell anyone he
would admit to smoking crack before he did
so Tuesday.
It came right out of the blue, said Kelly,
who learned about it from a member of Fords
staff after the mayor stopped on his way to
his ofce to tell reporters.
Toronto mayor rejects latest call to step aside

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank Swiss scien-
tists have found evidence suggesting Yasser
Arafat may have been poisoned with a
radioactive substance, a TVstation reported
Wednesday, prompting new allegations by
his widow that the Palestinian leader was
the victim of a shocking crime.
Palestinian ofcials have long accused
Israel of poisoning Arafat, a claim Israel
has denied. Arafat died under mysterious cir-
cumstances at a French military hospital in
2004, a month after
falling ill at his Israeli-
besieged West Bank com-
pound.
The findings reported
Wednesday appear to be
the most signicant so
far in an investigation
into Arafats death initi-
ated by his widow, Suha,
and the satellite TV sta-
tion Al-Jazeera.
Last year, Switzerlands Institute of
Radiation Physics discovered traces of
polonium-210, a deadly radioactive iso-
tope, on some of Arafats belongings. Soil
and bone samples were subsequently taken
from Arafats grave in the West Bank.
On Wednesday, the TV station published
the Swiss teams 108-page report on the
soil and bone samples. The results moder-
ately support the proposition that the death
was the consequence of poisoning with
polonium-210, the report said.
Repeated attempts to reach the main
aut hor, Pat r i ce Mangi n, or t he
Lausanne-based i nst i t ut es
spokesman, Dar cy Chr i st en, wer e
unsuccessful Wednesday ni ght .
Experts not connected to the report said
the results support the case that Arafat was
poisoned, but dont prove it.
Suha Arafat told Al-Jazeera she was
stunned and saddened by the ndings.
Its a shocking, shocking crime to get
rid of a great leader, she said.
She did not mention Israel, but suggested
that a country with nuclear capability was
involved in her husbands death. I cant
accuse anyone, but how many countries
have an atomic reactor that can produce
polonium? she said.
Possible evidence of Arafat poisoning is reported
