A 7-Eleven is set to open soon in
a San Mateo neighborhood that
nearby residents oppose for many
reasons but how long it will be

The City Council will consider
tonight whether to terminate the
non-conforming use for the site and
revert the land back to residential as
it is technically zoned for.
The Planning Commission
already voted to terminate the mar-

El Crystal Elementary received
approval to become a magnet school
last night, however, the heated con-
versation leading up to the green
light showcased a divided district
and lingering scal problems within
San Bruno.
The proposal to convert the school
into one that focuses on a science,
technical engineering and mathe-
matics (known as STEM) began in
the 2013-14 school year and gener-
ated universal praise from those in
the audience last night. But, as the
San Bruno Park School District
faces a $3 million decit, it also
raised questions for some trustees
about possibly spending more than
$100,000 in startup costs.
Ultimately a 3-1 vote, with Trustee
Kevin Martinez dissenting and
Magnet school approved,
budget troubles remain

Michael Keefe, the current re chief for
both the San Mateo and Foster City re
departments, may soon lead the Belmont Fire
Department as well as its council voted unan-
imously Tuesday night to enter into negotia-
tions with the two cities for Keefes services.
If approved by both the San Mateo and
Foster City councils this Monday, the deal
could ultimately save the Belmont Fire
Protection District about $500,000 a year.
The move comes after Belmont split with
San Carlos in October 2011 for shared re
services when the two cities voted to dissolve
the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department after
a disagreement over how the department was
funded. The two cities participated in a joint-
powers agreement for nearly 32 years before
dissolution.
Belmont Fire Chief Doug Fry actually
retired before the city re-established its own
stand-alone re department but was rehired as
an interim chief and has been exploring con-
tracting out management oversight since.
Belmont residents assess themselves nearly
$7 million annually to provide re service in
the city but it is not enough to maintain a
stand-alone department for the long term,
according to a staff report.
Foster City and San Mateo currently share
Keefe, as well as a deputy chief and battalion
chiefs under a shared-services agreement
reached two years ago that will save the cities
about $1.5 million over a 36-month period.
San Mateo and Foster City will provide
Belmont with a re chief, battalion chiefs and
an administrative battalion chief.
Belmont will provide a deputy re chief and
the term of the contract will be for 18 months,
starting Jan. 1, according to the staff report.
Currently, Belmont pays about $1.3 million
in management costs for the department but
that gure will shrink to about $780,000 under
the shared-services agreement.
The Belmont Fire Department currently has
25 employees but that number will reduce to
22 through attrition, according to the staff
report.
The deputy re chief will report to the
Belmont city manager and the re personnel
in the district will still be Belmont employees.
Foster City Vice Mayor Pam Frisella told
the Daily Journal that sharing services on a
regional basis should be considered even more
by cities in San Mateo County.
We have to do anything we can to save
money, Frisella said. I dont see a downside
to this. All three communities will be kept
safe.
Escalating pension costs are eating into all
three cities budgets.
The arrangement will not only save
Belmont money but allow the city to maintain
its own autonomous re department, Belmont
Mayor Dave Warden said.
Both the San Mateo and Foster City coun-
cils meet this Monday to consider the propos-
al.
In other Belmont City Council news: The
council voted unanimously to raise garbage
rates by 13.84 percent next year. Most of the
rate increase is due to migration adjustments
and migration recovery surcharges to
Recology for residents opting to use smaller
trash cans.

Drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area
have become the first motorists in the nation
to fill up their gas tanks with an algae-based
biofuel.
The fuel, known as Biodiesel B20, went
on sale Tuesday at gas stations in Berkeley,
Oakland, Redwood City and San Jose as part
of a month-long pilot program.
Biodiesel B20 is made from 20 percent
algae and 80 percent petroleum, and can be
used by any vehicle that runs on diesel.
Advocates say it is the first in a wave of
clean fuel to hit the marketplace.
We are putting a stake in the ground,
said Matt Horton, chief executive officer of
Propel Fuels, as he prepared to fill the first
tank with the algae-based product at a Valero
station in Redwood City. We hope to build
hundreds of stations like this in California.
The fuels algae was grown by South San
Francisco-based Solazyme Inc. and already
has been used in trials by the military and
industrial companies.
It was sold for about $4.25 a gallon at the
Redwood City station, about the same as the
average price for diesel fuel in California.
Were talking about fuels that are offered
at standard diesel pricing, said Bob Ames,
Solazymes vice president in charge of fuels
and commercialization.
Horton said most diesel vehicles could run
on 100 percent algae fuel, but doing so
would result in higher costs for consumers.
He added that many automakers oppose
allowing a mix higher than 20 percent.

Permanent fix for
water main in works
Officials are working to repair as
quickly as possible a water main
that broke and flooded a Daly City
neighborhood Tuesday.
At the Daly City City Council
meeting Tuesday night, the council
unanimously agreed to allow City
Manager Patricia Martel to waive
the formal bidding process to
quickly get workers in place to
make a permanent fix to the water
main.
The water main in Reservoir 3
by Hillside Park ruptured at about
4:25 a.m. Tuesday, causing 45,000
gallons of water and mud to flow
down a hill and onto Lausanne
Avenue, Water and Wastewater
Resources Director Patrick
Sweetland said.
Crews were at the scene all day
cleaning up the sludge, concluding
at about 6:15 p.m., Sweetland said.
Twelve homes were evacuated as
a precaution, but no injuries were
reported. By 11:30 a.m., all the
residents had been allowed to
return.
No homes were flooded, but
streets were left covered in a layer
of mud so thick it reached the top
of parked cars wheels.
Four blocks were affected by the
flood along Lausanne Avenue,
including Bonnie, East Moltke,
Ford and Price streets and Clayton
Court.
Legislators offering

Native American
remains discovered
at construction site
Native American remains were
unearthed by construction crews
working in Menlo Park on
Tuesday, police said.
The discovery was reported to
police after workers who were
removing a concrete surface in the
1000 block of Hamilton Avenue
found what appeared to be two
human skulls and other bone frag-
ments, Menlo Park police spokes-
woman Nicole Acker said.
Construction was halted, and the
San Mateo County Coroners
Office was called to the scene. The
Coroners Office determined that
the remains were Native
American.
Menlo Park lies within an area
once occupied by the Ohlone tribe,
according to the citys planning
department.
A known burial site lies just
west of the property on Hamilton
Avenue, which is owned by the
biological research firm Pacific
Biosciences, Acker said.
She said proper protocol for han-
dling archeological remains is
being followed.
The Native American Historical
Society was notified of the find,
and was expected to take posses-
sion of the bones.
Construction work remains sus-
pended.

SAN FRANCISCO California
began auctioning permits Wednesday for
greenhouse gas emissions, launching one
of the worlds most ambitious efforts to
cut heat-trapping gases from industrial
sources.
The California Air Resources Board
said it began selling the pollution
allowances in a closed, online auction
expected to create the worlds second-
largest marketplace for carbon emissions.
Under the program, the state sets a
limit, or cap, on emissions from individ-
ual polluters. Businesses are required to
either cut emissions to cap levels or buy
allowances through the auction from
other companies for each extra ton of pol-
lution discharged annually.
The board said the results of the auc-
tion what price is paid for a ton of car-
bon, and how many companies participat-
ed would be released Nov. 19.
The cap-and-trade plan is a central
piece of AB32, the states landmark 2006
global warming regulations.
The auction was being closely watched
nationally, as the worlds ninth-largest
economy institutes a program that has
eluded lawmakers in Washington.
Only the European Union has imple-
mented a similar plan in terms of scope,
and it currently operates the worlds
largest carbon marketplace. A much less
inclusive cap-and-trade scheme covers
only electricity producers in the north-
eastern United States.
Failure of the California program
would be a devastating blow to carbon
control efforts nationally, said Severin
Borenstein, a professor at the University
of California, Berkeley, an expert on
energy economics.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Foster City will finish the fiscal year with about $200,000
more than it thought it would based on early projections,
according to a quarterly financial report the City Council will
hear at its Monday meeting.
The addition of a 130-unit extended stay hotel planned by
the owner of the Crowne Plaza at the former Black Angus
restaurant site also has the potential to add nearly $400,000
in annual hotel tax revenue to the city, according to the quar-
terly report.
The county controller estimates Foster City will receive
more than $15.4 million in property taxes for the fiscal year,
about $150,000 greater than original projections, according
to the quarterly report.
Sales tax revenue is also projected to be $60,000 greater
than anticipated.
Other city funds are also operating at expected levels in the
first quarter, which ended Sept. 30.
Statewide projections of gas tax revenue indicate that
Foster Citys portion will be $410,000 for the current year,
$66,000 higher than original forecast, according to the
report.
Water revenue is down but so are expenditures as the citys
residents are using less water, according to the report.
Other projects, such as the completion of the first phase of
the Pilgrim-Triton project, expected to open its doors of lux-
ury apartment units in early 2013; the 15-acre site adjacent to
City Hall; the expansion of the Gilead Sciences campus; and
a renewed interest by a developer to build an office project in
the Chess-Hatch area are also expected to boost the citys tax
base in the coming years.
The report also takes note of the so-called fiscal cliff
the combination of lapsing tax cuts and spending cuts neces-
sary to reduce the federal deficit that could send the U.S.
economy back into recession.
Without action by Congress and President Barack Obama
by Jan. 1, state and city governments have the potential to see
a further deterioration of tax revenue and the loss of federal
support for transportation and social services, according to
the quarterly financial report.
The citys general fund budget is roughly $30 million.
The Foster City Council meets 6:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 19,

CSU seeks $372M more from state in $4.5B budget
LOS ANGELES The California State University board of
trustees has approved a $4.5 billion budget for 2013-14 that
includes a request for $372 million in additional state funds.
The board on Wednesday approved the spending plan that
calls for increasing enrollment by 5 percent, or 20,000 students,
as well as funding additional courses for current students.
Robert Turnage, the assistant vice chancellor for budget, says
the budget strikes a reasonable balance between the states s-
cal realities and student demand at Cal State, which serves
427,000 students at 23 campuses.

CALIFORNIA PERMITTING: California
has begun auctioning permits for
greenhouse gas emissions, launching
what is expected to be the worlds
second-largest carbon market.
CENTRAL PIECE: The plan is a central
piece of the states 2006 global
warming law, a suite of regulations
meant to dramatically reduce
emissions of heat-trapping gases.
Businesses must either cut emissions
to cap levels or buy allowances from
other companies for each extra ton of
pollution discharged annually.
CHAMBER OPPOSITION: The auction
occurred despite a last-minute lawsuit
from the California Chamber of
Commerce, which has argued the
program should be invalidated as an
illegal tax.

The ght to keep Petes Harbor
from converting into 411 waterfront
residences is still aoat after tenants
of the Redwood City boating com-
munity appealed the projects
approval and asked the City Council
to slow down and scale back any
development.
As its basis for the appeal, the
group Save Petes Harbor 2012 cited
the citys general plans statements
to include liveaboard tenants in any
new development, the historical ele-
ments and the insufciency of the
decade-old environmental document
used as part of the approval process.
The 2010 General Plan speci-
cally lauded liveaboard floating
communities as a feature to be pro-
tected at Petes Harbor and else-
where in Redwood City, said group
representative Alison Madden in a
prepared statement regarding the 18-
page appeal.
The City Council has 90 days
within which to hear the appeal and
a specic meeting date has yet to be
set, said city spokesman Malcolm
Smith.
But even if the appeal staves off a
decision, owner Paul Uccellis attor-
ney Ted Hannig said the remaining
tenants will still be evicted come
Jan. 15.
Paula has given notice to every-
one whether the project goes
through or not as part of her retire-
ment plan, Hannig said. The mari-
na and the rest of Petes Harbor will
be vacated probably well before we
know if the project goes forward.
The Planning Commission unani-
mously approved the planned devel-
opment permit and a parking excep-
tion Oct. 30. The decision came
after several hours of testimony
across two meetings from opponents
who argued the plan was moving too
fast and does away with precious
affordable housing. Supporters
countered that development was the
ultimate goal of the marinas
founder, Pete Uccelli, and selling the
21-acre harbor to developer Pauls
Corporation is his widows right.
The project, to be located on the
north side of Highway 101 between
Bair Island Road and Redwood
Creek, calls for 411 multi-family
housing units in buildings between
three and ve stories, a community
pool and approximately 263 slips in
a private marina. All existing com-
mercial operations at the marina will
cease and any future boat mooring
limited to apartment tenants.
The proposal didnt require zon-
ing changes and therefore no special
approvals by the city because it does
not include high-rise buildings or
the lling in of the Bay. The city also
said the previously certied environ-
mental impact report for the earlier
now-defunct Marina Shores Village
project that included Petes Harbor
was sufcient.
But those who filed the appeal
disagree, arguing the EIR was not
enough and should have required
public circulation. Madden also
argued the city fast-tracked the
application to get it before the
Planning Commission within three
months of the July 23 filing rather
than the more standard four to six
months and, along with Uccelli
and the developer, kept the process
concealed from the tenants.
If the Planning Commission and
City Council knew the breadth of
the public opposition, the process
would have been extended rather
than brushed aside, Madden said.
The appeal asks the council to
immediately shift the discussion
into an Inner Harbor Precise Plan
for consideration of the impact on
the entire inlet including public
access and parking.
Since June 2002, Paula Uccelli
has required all live-aboard leases to
include language acknowledging the
possibility of relocation. All leases
the past 12 years have also been
month-to month because of the sale
potential. At the last meeting,
Hannig, told the Planning
Commission that as of that point, 52
live-aboard tenants, or 41 percent,
had already left voluntarily and he
added yesterday the number contin-
ues being a steady stream.
Even if Uccelli and developer
Paul Powers prevails before the City
Council, Uccelli will probably need
permission from the California State
Lands Commission and the Bay
Conservation and Development
Commission.
Hannig said what is frustrating is
not so much the appeal, as that is the
groups right, but what it means.
What frustrates me is that 2,000
people wont get jobs right away.
What frustrates me is the millions of
dollars our schools wont get and the
roads that wont get built, he said.

Petes Harbor tenants appeal
development plans approval
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos residents tonight can
get a peek and offer insight into the
second phase of Burton Parks
makeover that includes a bocce ball
court, covered stage and renovated
basketball courts.
The community meeting is one of
two held this week by the city to let
the public weigh in on the proposed
designs before they become a reality.
Interestingly, nobody from the gener-
al public attended a Tuesday night
meeting, instead drawing individuals
otherwise connected to the city such
as commission and Parks and
Recreation Foundation members, a
tenant and a former city coun-
cilmember, said Doug Long, the
citys parks and recreation director.
However, the group offered the
type of insight the city wants more of
Thursday night thoughts on land-
scaping, color and amenities, Long
said.
Burton Park, at 900 Chestnut St., is
the citys oldest developed park and
is heavily used year-round for recre-
ation. The park also houses the citys
teen center and Kiwanis Recreation
Center.
The park already completed an
$850,000 facelift in 2008 that added
the countys rst fully inclusive play-
ground compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities Act. The
two-year renovation added ramp
access, a rubbery safety surface and
perimeter fencing.
The San Carlos City Council
signed off on the Phase II conceptual
design in November 2010 before
working on ways to fund it. Both
parts rely heavily on donations raised
by the San Carlos Parks and
Recreation Foundation and fundrais-
ers like naming rights. The price tag
for the second phase is $1.15 million
and, while fundraising will begin in
earnest in January, the foundation has
already raised $15,000 for the chance
to name benches, trees and a dance
area in front of a planned stage, Long
said.
The stage, in particular, was the
main focus of Tuesday nights com-
munity meeting discussion, with
attendees wanting to make sure it
functions for a variety of shows like
music and theater as well as smaller
events. The city estimates drawing
1,200 to 1,500 people based on atten-
dance at the existing summer con-
certs.
The park renovation also includes
two standard-size bocce ball courts
with a storage shack and shaded seat-
ing and new backboard for the bas-
ketball courts. The talk Tuesday
included the colors that should be
used on the bocce and basketball
courts and the possibility of includ-
ing a bottle ller instead of just a
fountain in the bocce area, Long said.
The community meeting is 7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 15 at the San Carlos
Library community rooms, second
oor, 610 Elm St., San Carlos.

Socialites climb halted by scandal
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama said Wednesday that
his administration has not done
enough to combat global warming
but said he hopes to begin his second
term by opening a national conver-
sation on climate change.
Obama said at a news conference
that he took some steps in his rst
term to slow global warming, such
as sharply increasing fuel efciency
standards for cars and trucks.
But we havent done as much as
we need to, Obama said in his sec-
ond comments on global warming
since winning re-
election last
week.

Northeast and an election that led
to Democratic gains have elevated
global warming as a subject of
renewed political debate.
President wants to open national
conversation on climate change
By Pete Yost and Nancy Benac
WASHINGTON Responding
warily to his administrations sud-
den sex scandal, President Barack
Obama said Wednesday hes seen
no evidence that national security
was damaged by the revelations
that ended his CIA directors career
and imperil that of his Afghan war
commander.
But the president said he is
reserving judgment about how the
FBI has handled the investigation
that began in the summer but didnt
reach his desk until after last
weeks election.
I have a lot of confidence, gen-
erally, in the FBI, Obama said,
qualifying his words of support for
the agency and its actions in the
case.
As Obama spoke about the scan-
dal from the White House, legisla-
tors on Capitol Hill were grilling
FBI and CIA officials privately
about the same issues: whether
national security was jeopardized
by the case and why they didnt
know about the investigation soon-
er.

WASHINGTON When
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
pointedly warned young troops
last spring to mind their ways, he
may have been lecturing the wrong
audience.
The culture of military miscon-
duct starts at the top.
At least five current and former
U.S. generals at the rank of one-
star or higher have been repri-
manded or investigated for possi-
ble misconduct in the past two
weeks a startling run of embar-
rassment for a military whose
stock among Americans rose so
high during a decade of war that its
leaders seemed almost untouch-
able.
From adultery and malfeasance
to potentially inappropriate
emails, the four-star foibles have
rocked the military establishment
and shocked the Obama adminis-
tration even as it wrestles with a
host of international challenges
and a postelection redo of its
national security team.
The missteps suggest the possi-
bility that the senior officer corps
including many who led or sent
thousands of troops into battle
since 2001 are troubled by the
same strains that sent suicide, sex-
ual assault and stress disorder rates
soaring among the rest of the
force.

NATION/WORLD 8
By David Espo
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama challenged congres-
sional Republicans Wednesday to
let taxes rise on the wealthiest
Americans on both economic and
political grounds, noting he cam-
paigned successfully for re-election
on the point and contending it
would instantly ease the threat of
the scal cliff plunging the nation
back into recession.
A modest tax increase on the
wealthy is not going to break their
backs, Obama said of the nations
top income earners. Theyll still be
wealthy, he said at his rst news
conference since winning a second
term.
At the same time, the president
stressed he was amenable to com-
promise on other approaches from
Republicans who say they will
refuse to raise tax rates. I believe
this is solvable, he said during the
news conference.
At a news conference of his own a
short while later, House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, agreed that a
bipartisan spirit of cooperation
has been evident since the election
that augurs well for talks expected
to begin Friday at the White House.
However, he said of the presi-
dents proposal, We are not going
to hurt our economy and make job
creation more difficult which is
exactly what that plan would do.
Obama seemed eager to avoid
issuing any ultimatums. Asked if it
would be a deal-breaker for
Republicans to refuse to allow the
top tax rate to revert to 39.6 percent
from the current 35 percent, he side-
stepped. I just want to emphasize I
am open to new ideas if the
Republican counterparts or some
Democrats have a great idea for us
to raise revenue, maintain progres-
sivity, make sure the middle class
isnt getting hit, reduces our decit.
Wall Street wasnt encouraged
that agreement was becoming more
likely. The Dow Jones industrial
average dropped 185 points for the
day.
The presidents remarks were his
rst extended public discussion of
the issue that is dominating the post-
election session of Congress, and
they followed statements earlier in
the week from Boehner and Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate
GOP leader.
Obama presses GOP on
taxing rich to avert cliff
By Tom Raum
House Democratic leader Nancy
Pelosis decision to serve another
term in that post will probably have
a big influence on efforts by
President Barack Obama and
Congress to reach an agreement to
avert the so-called scal cliff.
Pelosi announced Wednesday
shell continue to lead her party in
the House despite the Democrats
failure to win back the majority it
lost in 2010. We have work to do,
she said. It isnt about the gavel,
although wed like to have it.
Obama and leaders of both parties
have sounded conciliatory since his
re-election last week, saying theyll
work together toward a decit-trim-
ming budget deal to ward off auto-
matic tax increases and deep spend-
ing cuts set to take effect in January.
Obama urged Congress on
Wednesday to vote rst to extend
expiring tax breaks for the middle
class, then turn to his proposal to
raise them on households earning
over $250,000. We should not hold
the middle-class hostage while we
debate tax cuts for the wealthy, he
said at a White House news confer-
ence.
Republicans oppose any increase
in tax rates and want spending cuts
in entitlement programs.
Pelosi has been one of the biggest
defenders of entitlement programs
such as Medicare and Social
Security. And she gave no ground
Wednesday.
While saying everything is on
the table in talks that Obama will
convene on Friday with congres-
sional leaders, Pelosi also said shell
continue to resist efforts to pare
back either program.

BRUSSELS Hundreds of
thousands of Europes beleaguered
citizens went on strike or snarled the
streets of several capitals Wednesday,
at times clashing with riot police, as
they demanded that governments
stop cutting benets and create more
jobs.
Workers with jobs and without
spoke of a social emergency crip-
pling the worlds largest economic
bloc, a union of 27 nations and half a
billion people. In Madrid and
Barcelona, where the crisis is hitting
particularly hard, protesters and
police fought street battles resulting
in dozens injured and numerous
arrests.
The protests were met with tear
gas in Italy and Spain, but were
largely limited to the countries hard-
est hit by the austerity measures
designed to bring government spend-
ing into line with revenues. Wealthier
nations like Germany, the
Netherlands and Denmark saw only
small, sedate demonstrations.
Governments backing the line of
stringent austerity were not
impressed by the show of force.
We must nevertheless do what is
necessary: break open encrusted
labor markets, give more people a
chance to work, become more exi-
ble in many areas, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel said.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The Globe and Mail, Toronto
D
avid Petraeus made an enormous
contribution to his country. He
helped rescue the war effort in Iraq.
He led the troop surge in Afghanistan. He
was accepted by Democrats and Republicans
94-0 when President Barack Obama
nominated him to be chief of the Central
Intelligence Agency. Now he is gone because
of an affair with his biographer. It would be
nice if someone in authority said straight out
why he had to go.
The simplest answer is the one Petraeus
gave in his resignation letter that he
showed extremely poor judgment. But
extremely poor judgment in ones personal
life should not necessarily be a ring offense
in ones professional life.
Another answer is that his lover, Paula
Broadwell, gave a speech at the University of
Denver in which she claimed that the United
States Embassy in Benghazi held Libyan
militia members prisoner a statement that
runs counter to ofcial CIA and White House
comments. She may not have obtained this
information from Petraeus (no evidence
shows that she did), but her statement makes
people wonder, fairly or not, if he was
spilling secrets. He put himself in that posi-
tion.
A third answer is that he was blackmail-
able. Thats the operating premise in that
world, according to a Canadian familiar with
security matters, and holds true in Canada.
Some questions: Does it have the air of reali-
ty that Petraeus, after an exemplary 37-year
career, would sell out to an enemy to avoid
being revealed as an adulterer? Doesnt it
enhance the opportunity for blackmail if hav-
ing an affair becomes a ring offense?
Couldnt the national security director who
reportedly told him to resign have said
instead: Tell your wife, and then youre no
longer blackmailable?
A fourth answer is that his behavior is an
embarrassment to the president who nomi-
nated him, in which case he would have been
held to a higher standard than many presi-
dents, such as Eisenhower, Kennedy and
Clinton.
Petraeus knew the rules of the game and,
by having an affair, acted as if they didnt
apply to him. For that, he lost his job.
Whether all the rules make sense is another
question.
General Petraeus
Editor,
Isnt it about time that the government lay
off General Petraeus and his unzipped pants?
He, of all people, has done more for us in the
wars that we have been involved in than any-
one else. He is an incredible human being.
Now, because he had an affair, he is treated
like the most loathsome person in the United
States? Get a grip people. Its not like we
havent seen someone in a high position have
an affair. Our national security was not in
any danger, but the people who wanted to
expose him wanted you to think so. I am
ashamed to be an American when others
stoop so low for what? Twenty-ve cents
worth of fame.

San Mateo
Council, please say no to 7-Eleven
Editor,
I am a resident of the San Mateo Heights
neighborhood. I am against having a new 7-
Eleven on North San Mateo Drive. I cannot
attend the Nov. 15 meeting.
When you are considering the 7-Eleven,
please know that I do not want the 7-Eleven
in my neighborhood.
It was made clear that the approval of the
site should revert back to residential. There is
already a liquor store on Poplar, near San
Mateo Drive, just a few blocks from the pro-
posed 7-Eleven location (I know 7-Eleven is
calling themselves a market, but it is com-
mon knowledge that is not the case).
No one in the neighborhood wants this 7-
Eleven. We are making a great effort to come
together and even hire a lawyer to ght this.
We are going through the correct legal
process to stop this. But in the end we are
appealing to you as families and neighbors,
to save our neighborhood. Would you want a
7-Eleven in your backyard? Why not?
Do the right thing for your city.

Opposed Measure A
Editor,
I was amazed to learn that Measure A was
not in response to any immediate need. It is
for some unidentied need at some unknown
time in the next 10 years. When I was a
homeowner, I voted for all parcel taxes that
increased school funding. I considered it to
be an investment in students future. I have
never met a politician who can resist a pile of
money just sitting around earning interest. It
reminds me of the thinking I saw in the
defense industry. If you are near the end of
the scal year and you havent spent your
entire budget, nd something to spend it on.
Take some admirals on a Pebble Beach golf
outing. Go to that NATO meeting in
Copenhagen. Spend it on something, even if
it is not needed! If you dont use it, you lose
it. Here is an idea. How about returning the
money to the 35 percent of voters who
opposed Measure A?

Why did Petraeus resign?
Other voices

G
en. David Petraeus is a highly
respected and well-liked military-
leader-turned-CIA-chief who
allowed his home and his professional repu-
tation to be jeopardized for the sake of an
illicit sexual liaison.
Well, there are no prudes here. We realize
Petraeus is neither the rst person in a posi-
tion of power to put his personal life and
career at risk due to lust, nor will he be the
last. In most cases, the damage caused by
such relationships is to that individual and
those closest to the person.
What makes Petraeus indiscretion so dis-
turbing is that he was in a unique position as
CIA chief to know and possibly reveal to
a lover or a lover-turned-blackmailer
information that could compromise the secu-
rity of the United States.
Sure enough, when the FBI gained access
to personal items of Paula Broadwell
Petraeus paramour it discovered classi-
ed documents on her computer, according
to The Wall Street Journal.
FBI ofcials later determined that
Broadwell hadnt obtained the classied doc-
uments from Petraeus.
However, given the fact that Broadwell
was working on another research project,
with Petraeus assistance, related to the
involvement of the Armys 101st Airborne
Division in Afghanistan, and that she alleged-
ly displayed a vindictive streak in harassing
another young woman who is a friend of
Petraeus, its no great leap to believe she
could have pushed the CIA chief for classi-
ed information on Afghanistan if their rela-
tionship had continued.
A disturbing indiscretion
Other voices
Generally speaking
T
hank you David Petraeus and company
for giving the world a reason to
remember there is still military action
overseas.
Granted, Afghanistan is but a side note in the
tawdry tale of more intimate action being had
stateside but still, so close to Veterans Day, it is
nice to recall matters of actual importance. Its
also nice to have a soap opera to hold the pub-
lic over until the Lindsay Lohan-starring biopic
Liz & Dick joins
the collection of
Lifetime movies.
Since former
general Petraeus
abruptly resigned
as CIA director
because of his rela-
tionship with biog-
rapher Paula
Broadwell, the
story continues
growing more and
more salacious.
The cast of charac-
ters is also swelling so large and with so many
interconnected links, one needs a bulletin board
full of clues and red string just to keep up.
Dont be surprised if Kevin Bacon shows up
somewhere. Remember, all he needs is six
degrees of separation.
The matter of any real consequence is
whether Petraeus shared condential informa-
tion with Broadwell and also if President
Barack Obama should have been informed of
the investigation sooner than he has claimed to
have been. But that stuff is almost as boring as
continually reading about the scal cliff. What
most prefer is reading the Harlequin Romance
style moves of folks a little closer to the emo-
tional edge.
Yet, politicians, celebrities and others in the
public eye show off their feet of clay all the
time. The public rolls its eyes and snickers, the
late-night comedians lob shots, the wife stands
by her man, he eventually resigns and history
moves on to the next scandal du jour. Why then
is Petraeus all that different?
For one thing, the story so far has more
twists and turns than a rerun of Dynasty dur-
ing its heyday and at least one of the women
involved looks like she came out of central
casting for The Real Housewives of Miami.
The real key, though, is the man actually,
with the additional of Gen. John Allen, make
that men at the center.
When news broke of Petraeus affair, the col-
lective response was incredulousness. Arent
these military guys built like an asexual G.I.
Joe doll? Forget his age or lack of pinup quality
(despite Ms. Broadwells assessment that he is
quite the specimen). Generals just arent sup-
posed to be thought of like that. Theyre pre-
sumed to be focused, stoic and dictate orders
rather than be ordered by their never mind.
Retired general Stanley McChrystal might be
slightly more believable. After the Rolling
Stone interview that cost him his post,
McChrystal seems like the kind of fella who
doesnt give much thought to public opinion or
toeing the White House policy line. But others?
Never. Gen. Colin Powell seems beyond
reproach. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf isnt
stormin his way through the Ten
Commandments. Retired general Wesley Clark
barely merits a blip on most peoples con-
sciousness for his unsuccessful presidential bid.
Patton, MacArthur, Washington its proba-
bly safe to say the only conquests the public
wants to think of them having was on enemy
soil.
Granted, generals are not alone with this ele-
vated stature. Others whose lives and careers
require dedication, extreme training and strong
dose of patriotism also qualify, which makes all
so much more titillating their downward spiral.
Recall former astronaut Lisa Nowak who
decided the best way out of a love triangle with
a fellow astronaut and another woman was to
drive all night cross-country wearing adult dia-
pers to kill her romantic rival in a parking lot.
The story was shocking. The mug shot price-
less. The moral? Even the most educated and
decorated are not immune to love, jealousy and
the occasional streak of all-out crazy at
least, generally speaking.

NEW YORK Investors drew little
hope Wednesday for a quick compromise
in U.S. budget talks after President
Barack Obama insisted that higher taxes
on wealthy Americans would have to be
part of any deal.
Stocks fell sharply, and even a signal
from the Federal Reserve that it could
launch a program in December to speed
job growth failed to encourage investors.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 185 points.
Obama made clear he would seek
higher tax revenue from the wealthiest
Americans, which faces opposition
among some Republicans in Congress.
Obama said that a modest increase on the
wealthy is not going to break their
backs.
The Street was looking for him to say
some magic buzzwords about avoiding
the scal cliff, about cooperation, said
Sal Arnuk of Themis trading, a New
Jersey brokerage. Instead, Arnuk said,
the remarks were unyielding.
The cliff is a package of tax increas-
es and government spending cuts that
will take effect Jan. 1 unless Obama and
Congress reach a deal rst. They would
total about $700 billion for 2013 and
could send the country back into reces-
sion.
Stocks have fallen steadily since voters
returned Obama and a divided Congress
to power Nov. 6. The Dow has fallen 675
points, or 5.1 percent, including three
daily drops of more than 100 points.
The Standard & Poors 500 index has
dropped 5 percent in that time, returning
to where it stood in late July.
Investors hopes that the election
would end uncertainty remain unful-
lled, said Lawrence Creatura, a portfo-
lio manager at Federated Investors in
Rochester, N.Y. Its very tough to deter-
mine what happens next.
Obama said Wednesday that he would
not to cave to Republicans who have
pressed for tax cuts first passed by
President George W. Bush to be extended
for all income earners.
Obama has long opposed extending the
cuts for families making more than
$250,000 a year, but he gave in to GOP
demands in 2010, when the cuts were up
for renewal. They were extended two
years.

Starbucks has a new caffeine addiction: Tea
NEW YORK Starbucks wants to make the tea shop as
ubiquitous as its namesake cafes.
The Seattle-based company said Wednesday that it will
pay $620 million in cash to buy Teavana Holdings Inc.,
which sells high-end loose leaf teas in 300 shopping mall
locations. The plan is to expand Teavanas footprint beyond
the suburban mall with stand-alone shops around the world,
while adding tea bars where customers can buy hot and cold
drinks.
CEO Howard Schultz noted in an interview that Starbucks
cafes had modest beginnings as well. The companys 11
locations only sold coffee by the pound in 1987, with its
dizzying menu of specialty drinks and baked goods evolving
over time. Schultz said the company would use that experi-
ence to transform Teavana and tap into the $40 billion glob-
al tea market.
Starbucks Corp. already owns the Tazo tea brand, which it
purchased in 1999. And the company has signaled its grow-
ing interest in tea, with plans to open its rst Tazo tea shop
this Friday. Starbucks has described the Tazo shop as a place
where customers can buy specialty drinks, packaged choco-
lates and dozens of loose leaf teas not unlike the shops its
now envisioning for Teavana.
Diamond Foods restates results, shares tumble
Diamond Foods Inc. effectively wiped away $56.5 million
in prot from its books Wednesday after it restated two full
years of results.
Its battered stock fell another 20 percent in after-hours
trading on the news.
The San-Francisco based snack company is restating its
results for 2010 and 2011 after an internal investigation last
year found that the company improperly accounted for pay-
ments to walnut growers, which skewed its nancial results.
Diamond suffered mightily from the fallout. Its stock price
sank on concerns about the payments, it lost its bid to buy the
Pringles brand from Procter & Gamble Co. and it eventually
replaced its CEO and chief nancial ofcer over the issue.
The company, which makes Emerald Nuts and Kettle
Chips, said Wednesday that the restatements are an important
step toward it becoming current in its nancial reporting.
Software founder McAfee denies killing neighbor
SAN PEDRO, Belize Software company founder John
McAfee said Wednesday he is in hiding, unarmed and
accompanied only by a young woman, changing locations
and telephones frequently to stay one step ahead of a Belize
police unit he says wants to kill him.
Belize police have said they want to question McAfee,
who they describe as a person of interest in the slaying of
fellow American Gregory Viant Faull. Faull, 52, was shot to
death over the weekend on the Caribbean island where both
men lived.
McAfee, 67, who had a run-in with police earlier this year,
told the Associated Press in a telephone interview from an
undisclosed location that he didnt kill Faull, though he
acknowledged he had differences with the dead man.

The Sacred Heart Prep and Soquel boys
water polo teams have met in the Central
Coast Section Division II seminals the previ-
ous two seasons, with the Gators pulling out a
pair of exciting and dramatic one-goal wins.
The Gators and Knights faced off again
Wednesday night at Serra in another semi-
final showdown. Would there be more
offensive fireworks again?
Not this time. Sacred Heart Prep put togeth-
er another masterpiece as the top-seeded
Gators buried the Knights 15-3.
I am surprised (at the nal score), said
SHP coach Brian Kreutzkamp. The last two
years, weve been down in the fourth quarter
and we were the heavy favorites. We came
out (Wednesday night) a bit more sharp, espe-
cially on defense.
With the win, SHP moves into
Saturdays championship match against
either Los Gatos or St. Ignatius.
The opponent may not matter as the Gators
are on top of their game. Against Soquel, the
Gators got goals from 11 different players.
Bret Hinrichs scored three times, while
Conner Will and Harrison Enright each scored
a pair of goals to pace SHP.
The biggest thing Im pleased about is
the number of people who can score,
Kreutzkamp said. (Opponents) kind of
have to pick [their] poison. Its great, as
a coach, knowing one guy doesnt have
to carry the whole team.
How effective were the Gators offensively?
They score 15 goals on 22 shots, which is a 68
percent shooting percentage, which is a stat
not usually employed in water polo. They also
converted on 7 of 9 man advantages. They
scored in every conceivable way: power plays,
penalty shots, from the wings, from the set
and from the perimeter.

Sacred Heart Prep and Menlo School have
established themselves as volleyball powers
not only on the Peninsula but in the Central
Coast Section. There is not much that sepa-
rates the two as they split a pair of matches
this season to nish as co-champions of the
West Bay Athletic League.
Wednesday night was the rubber match with
a lot more on the line: the winner would
advance to the nals of the CCS Division IV
tournament. A battle between the two was
expected.
It never materialized. In a surprise to nearly
everyone in attendance, Sacred Heart Prep ran
away with a 25-16, 25-17, 25-10 sweep of
Menlo to advance to its fourth straight
Division IV championship game.
Menlo is always a tough match, said SHP
coach Damien Hardy. We were just better
tonight.
Better in every sense of the word. The sec-
ond-seeded Gators (29-5) could virtually do
no wrong, while the third-seeded Knights (23-
11) seemingly could do nothing right.
It was going to be a great matchup, said
Menlo coach Atlee Hubbard. And we didnt
show up. We let the emotion overwhelm us a
little bit. One of our weaknesses is, when
things are going wrong, we struggle to have a
Plan B.
The match got so bad for Menlo that
Hubbard, who is always carrying a binder as a
shield to hide signals and plays from the other
team, abandoned it early in the third set. She
had run out of things to tell her team, knowing
it was up to them to try and right the ship.
When you get to that point as a coach, its
awful, Hubbard said.
It got to that point early and stayed that way
throughout the match. SHPs play was a big
reason things went so bad for the Knights. The
tandem of Ellie Shannon and Payton Smith at
the net proved to be too much for the Knights
to overcome. Those two blocked so many
A surprising sweep
W
hen Courtney Tyler was 11 or
12 years old, she sat down with
her dad and had a heart-to-heart
talk. Tyler was a member of the West Bay
Nuggets softball team and her dad, Steve,
was her coach. He wanted to know if his
daughter was serious about taking her soft-
ball to the next level and shoot for a college
scholarship.
I said, Yes. I want to be a college soft-
ball player, Tyler
said she told her dad.
Now recently
turned 18, Tyler, a
senior at Hillsdale,
will realize her dream
as she signed an of-
cial Letter of Intent to
play softball for Cal
Poly-San Luis
Obispo. She signed
the letter during a
ceremony at school
Wednesday after-
noon.
It was denitely surreal, Tyler said. I
(orally) committed as a sophomore. I
always knew I was going there. I was
thinking (Wednesday), Whoa. This is it.
This is awesome.
Tyler has already had quite a career with
the Knights. This season will be her fourth
as a varsity player, something very few
high school athletes can achieve. She is
already a three-time Peninsula Athletic
League First Team All-League player and
there is nothing to suggest she wont
accomplish the same thing this season. She
has been named Freshman of the Year by
the PAL, as well as Sophomore of the Year.
She was part of a group of Hillsdale play-
ers that turned the Knights from an after-
thought into a perennial PAL and Central
Coast Section power.
I always dreamed about it (being a four-
year varsity player), Tyler said. Im try-
ing so hard for (league) MVP this year.
Thats my goal.
Tyler has excelled no matter where she

NEW YORK David Price of the Tampa
Bay Rays and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of
the New York Mets won baseballs Cy Young
awards on Wednesday.
Price barely beat out 2011 winner Justin
Verlander for the American League prize in
one of the closest votes ever. Dickey was an
easy choice for the NL honor in balloting by
the Baseball Writers Association of America.
The 38-year-old Dickey became the rst
knuckleball pitcher to win the Cy Young
Award, an achievement mentors such as Hall
of Famer Phil Niekro are quite proud of.
I am not a self-made man by any stretch of
the imagination, Dickey said on MLB
Network. This is a victory for all of us.
Runner-up two years ago, Price was the
pick this time by the slimmest of margins. He
received 14 of 28 rst-place votes and n-
ished with 153 points to 149 for Verlander,
chosen rst on 13 ballots.
Other than a 1969 tie between Mike Cuellar
and Denny McLain, it was the tightest race in
the history of the AL award.
Rays closer Fernando Rodney got the other
rst-place vote and came in fth.
It means a lot, Price said. Its something
that Ill always have. Its something that they
cant take away from me.
Price went 20-5 to tie Jered Weaver for the
American League lead in victories and win-
ning percentage. The 27-year-old lefty had the
lowest ERA at 2.56 and nished sixth in
strikeouts with 205.
Verlander, also the league MVP a year ago,
followed that up by going 17-8 with a 2.64
ERA and pitching the Detroit Tigers to the
World Series. He led the majors in strikeouts
(239), innings (238 1-3) and complete games
(six).
Price tossed 211 innings in 31 starts, while
Verlander made 33. One factor that might
have swung some votes, however: Price faced

SANTA CLARA Alex Smith insists its
too early to guess whether he will return from
a concussion in time to start at quarterback in
San Franciscos key Monday night NFC
showdown against the Chicago Bears.
The decision is not up to him, anyway.
Smith went through position work with the
NFC West-leading 49ers (6-2-1) in a non-con-
tact black jersey Wednesday, his status still
unclear after he sustained a concussion in the
second quarter Sunday against the St. Louis
Rams.
I feel good, better, Smith said Wednesday
in his rst comments since the injury. Im
just going along with the process right now.
Nothings been decided. Its a whole long
process thats up to the
doctors. I just kind of do
what they tell me. Contact
obviously is the final
straw.
Coach Jim Harbaugh
kept a watchful eye on
Smith from several yards
away as he worked with
backup Colin Kaepernick
and No. 3 QB Scott
Tolzien to get his reps.
Smith had to pass concussion tests given by
a neurologist he went to Stanford on
Monday to get this far and return to the
practice eld, but there are still further steps
in the process for him to be medically cleared
for game action.
Right now it looks like Alex will be our
quarterback for sure, optimistic tight end
Vernon Davis said. I would think so. With all
those concussions, you cant really tell, but he
was out there and threw the ball around a lit-
tle bit.
Smith said he experienced blurred vision on
a 1-yard quarterback sneak early in the second
quarter of Sundays 24-24 tie. But six plays
earlier, he scrambled to his left and started to
slide before turning when St. Louis linebacker
Jo-Lonn Dunbar hit him in the back of the
neck with 1:10 left in the rst quarter. Smith
briey grabbed his face mask and grimaced
but stayed in the game.
He isnt sure whether that hit contributed to
the concussion, because he didnt experience
any symptoms right away.
Its all speculation. It certainly didnt
help, Smith said. Talking to the neurologist,
it probably contributed, for sure. Whether it
loosens you up for the next one, I dont know.
I felt ne after that though. The sneak was
denitely when I came up and my eyesight
went wrong.
So, just how did he manage to complete all
three passes he threw afterward with blurred
vision, including a 14-yard touchdown to
Michael Crabtree?
Thats a great question, Smith said. No
idea. It certainly wasnt like I was blind.
But he was hurting.
Smith said he experienced headaches and
nausea with the concussion, and the symp-
toms were more severe than what he felt
after a concussion last season against Dallas
in the teams home opener. By Monday morn-
ing after sleeping overnight, Smith said he
had improved.
Its tough to describe. For me, the vision
was the biggest thing, for sure, Smith said.
Ive taken a lot of hits over the years, and to
try to play quarterback when youre vision is
not what it should be was difcult, Smith
said. For me, ultimately it didnt get better. It
wasnt one of those things I could blink off
and my focus was returning. I went on the
sidelines and sat down and it seemed to get
worse. It wasnt getting better. It was not good
for the team to go out there. I didnt think I
could help us much.
Second-year backup Colin Kaepernick
took over for the second series in the second
quarter and rallied the Niners in the fourth
quarter, even running for a 7-yard touch-
down. He nished 11 for 17 for 117 yards
with three sacks.

ALAMEDA Carson Palmer knows he
will have to have a big day to get the Oakland
Raiders back on the winning track.
With a defense that has allowed 97 points the
past two weeks, a running game decimated by
injuries and the high-powered New Orleans
Saints offense led by Drew Brees coming to
town, the Raiders (3-6) will be counting on
Palmer even more than usual.
Being a quarterback you dont want to think
that, Palmer said Wednesday. You still want
to go through your reads. Sometimes a sack is
the best play, sometimes a punt is the best play.
But you cant do it too many times against these
guys. ... I dont let myself go into a game think-
ing we have to score on this drive, we have to
score on this drive. You get yourself in trouble
and your team in trouble doing that. But I
understand what were up against. I understand
that we have to keep up with these guys.
Palmer has carried a heavy burden in his rst
full season as Raiders quarterback, throwing
the second-most passes in the league so far with
375 13 behind Detroits
Matthew Stafford. Palmer
has thrown for 782 yards
the past two weeks and is
looking to put together
three straight 300-yard
games for the rst time in
his career.
He is on pace to set the
Raiders record for yards
passing in a season, aver-
aging more than 300 per game so far.
Hes big, he can see the eld, hes got great
vision, Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said.
Theres not a coverage that he cant throw a
ball into, and theres not a coverage he hasnt
seen.
The only team that has passed the ball a high-
er percentage of time this season than Oakland
is New Orleans, with both teams calling passes
on about two of every three offensive plays.
Part of that has to do with the fact that both
Oakland and New Orleans have two of the
worst defenses in the league. The Saints have
allowed the most yards per game in the NFL,
giving up more than 400 every week.

OAKLAND Rookie Harrison Barnes
scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds,
making a pair of critical free throws in the nal
minute to help the Golden State Warriors hold
off the short-handed Atlanta Hawks 92-88 on
Wednesday night.
David Lee added 18 points and 10 rebounds,
and Stephen Curry scored 12 to put the
Warriors ahead by 13 points early in the fourth
quarter. The Hawks hacked that lead to two but
Barnes and Jarrett Jack each made a pair of
free throws to seal Golden States victory.
Lou Williams scored 18 points, including
three straight 3-pointers that whittled the
Warriors lead to a basket with 11.2 seconds
remaining. Josh Smith added 16 points and 10
rebounds for Atlanta, which had Al Horford
and Devin Harris out because of a stomach ill-
ness.
The way the Warriors defense nished was
enough to make coach Mark Jackson sick.
Williams made the second of his three con-
secutive 3s to bring Atlanta within 90-85 with
21.8 seconds left. Curry,
who had made a layup over
Smith on the previous pos-
session, missed a 3-pointer
that Barnes tracked down.
Barnes, drafted seventh
overall out of North
Carolina, was fouled and
made both free throws. He
had not had more than 14
points or ve rebounds in
his rst seven games.
Williams made another 3-pointer to slice
Golden States lead to 90-88. Jack, who n-
ished with nine points and four rebounds, was
fouled and swished both free throws to secure
the victory.
Atlanta has had multiple players get sick
during its West Coast trip. The latest bug side-
lined Horford and Harris. Zaza Pachulia start-
ed at center in Horfords place, and even he
had to overcome a setback.
Pachulia was cut above his right eye in the
rst quarter, with blood dripping down the side
of his face. He received stitches in the locker
room and returned.
With the Hawks hurting on the inside, the
Warriors went to work.
Lee led the charge by going at Atlantas
depleted front line and allowed Golden State
to play inside-out. He had 14 points and seven
rebounds in the rst half to help the Warriors
take a 54-46 lead.
Golden State withstood several shots from
Atlanta before hanging on.
The Hawks started the third quarter on a 7-1
run to trim the Warriors lead to two. Ivan
Johnson then inadvertently elbowed Warriors
second-round pick Draymond Green in the
face while going for a rebound late in the quar-
ter.
Green stayed down for a couple of minutes
until walking gingerly to the locker room, with
Johnson patting him on the chest on the way
off the court. The team said X-rays on the right
side of Greens jaw came back negative. He
later returned.
In the meantime, another rookie helped the
Warriors create some separation.
Barnes ignited an 18-7 spurt the lasted
through the opening minute of the fourth quar-
ter to put Golden State ahead 73-60. He threw
down a putback dunk that brought roaring fans
to their feet, including Warriors owner Joe
Lacob sitting in his usual courtside spot, and
mixed in a turnaround jumper and a driving
layup.
Atlanta closed within two on Williams 3-
pointer in the nal minute but never got closer.
NOTES: The Warriors honored former
coach Don Nelson at halftime for his Hall of
Fame induction in September. The 72-year-old
Nelson, who has an NBA-record 1,335 wins,
said he has no plans to get involved in basket-
ball again and is enjoying retirement at his
home in Maui, Hawaii. ... The Hawks have
added more hand sanitizer in the locker room
and separated infected players from others
because of the stomach illness that has swept
through part of the team. ... Warriors C Andrew
Bogut will rehab his surgically repaired left
ankle in the Los Angeles area during the
teams three-game road trip starting Friday in
Minnesota.

less than 5 minutes to play.
Jackson Carbajal scored 10 points for the

Bogut to rehab in L.A.
during Warriors road trip
OAKLAND Golden State Warriors
center Andrew Bogut will be in the Los
Angeles area during part of the teams
upcoming road trip to rehabilitate his sur-
gically repaired left ankle.
The team said Wednesday that Bogut will
be under the supervision of Dr. Richard
Ferkel, who performed the surgery on the 7-
foot Australian on April 27. The Warriors
begin a three-game road trip at Minnesota on
Friday.
The team had said last week Bogut would
be out 7 to 10 days. Instead, Bogut, who sat
out his third straight game Wednesday night
against Atlanta, will be out even longer.
The 2005 No. 1 overall pick fractured his
ankle Jan. 25 with Milwaukee and missed the
rest of the season after being traded to Golden
State for guard Monta Ellis. He sat all of the
preseason and played four of the ve regular-
season games and appeared to be slowed by
the injury.

Menlo attacks, they mentally beat Menlo. The
Knights were constantly looking for the pair
all match long and even when Shannon and
Smith didnt get the block, the Menlo attacks
sailed out of bounds as its hitters tried to avoid
the Gators block.
Dominating, is how Hardy described
Shannon and Smiths play. If they can read
where the set is going, I want to see who can
get past them.
Shannon nished the match with 11 kills
while Smith added 12 kills and ve aces.
Sonia Abuel-Saud had seven kills. Menlo was
led by Maddie Huber, who had nine kills, far
below her season average. Lida Vandermeer
had just ve kills and the Knights other main
weapon, Maddie Frappier, managed just a pair
of service aces.
Some of our key players, who perform on
a daily basis, struggled a bit and they couldnt
get out of that hole, Hubbard said.
Said Hardy: We forced them away from
their strengths and forced them to our
strengths.
Menlo led only twice in the match, taking 1-
0 leads to start Game 2 and Game 3. Other
than, the match belonged to SHP. In Game 1,
SHP led 5-3 before reeling off seven unan-
swered points to take a 12-3 lead. Menlo nal-
ly found a bit of a rhythm, moving a couple of
points closer and trailed 17-10. The Gators
responded with a 5-1 run to push their advan-
tage to 22-11 and it was only a matter of time
before they closed out the Knights.
SHP committed only two errors in the open-
ing set, compared to 12 for Menlo.
Menlo took a brief 1-0 lead in Game 2 when
SHP sent the rst serve into the net, but the
Gators won ve of the next six points. The
Knights got as close as 6-4 on a block for a
kill from Mogan Dressel before two straight
kills from Sonia Abuel-Saud and a block from
Shannon to push their lead to 9-4.
Menlo did not wilt, however, and stayed
close with SHP. Trailing 15-9, the Knights put
together their most consistent run of the
match, winning eight of the next 12 to close to
19-16.
Menlos chances took a big hit moments
later, however, when sophomore setter Elisa
Merten went down with an ankle injury with
the Knights trailing 20-17. SHP preceded to
win the nal ve points to take the set.
Merten going down didnt help (Menlo),
Hardy said.
In Game 3, the Gators simply blitzed the
Knights. Menlo held an early 3-1 lead before
SHP ripped off 12 straight points to take a
commanding 13-3 advantage. Smith and
Shannon were virtually unstoppable for the
Gators, combining for seven of the 12 points.
The Gators then ended with a ourish, win-
ning the nal ve points to end the Knights
season.
[Volleyball] is such a mental game, Hardy
said. Momentum goes back and forth so
quickly. If you can hold on to it for a few
points, youre in good shape.

stiffer competition in the rugged AL East than
Verlander did in the AL Central.
I guess its a blessing and a curse at the
same time, Price said. Theres not an easy
out in the lineups every game. It feels like a
postseason game.
Weaver came in third with 70 points, but was
listed second on a pair of ballots. The right-
hander threw a no-hitter and had a 2.81 ERA in
his rst 20-win season but missed time with
injuries and totaled only 188 2-3 innings for
the Los Angeles Angels.
The top pick in the 2007 amateur draft out of
Vanderbilt, Price reached the majors the fol-
lowing year and has made three straight All-
Star teams.
Despite going 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA in
2010, he nished a distant second in Cy Young
voting to Felix Hernandez, who won only 13
games for last-place Seattle but dominated
most other statistical categories that year.
Verlander was trying to become the rst AL
pitcher to win back-to-back Cy Youngs since
Bostons Pedro Martinez in 1999 and 2000.
San Francisco right-hander Tim Lincecum did
it in the National League in 2008-09.
Dickey garnered 27 of 32 rst-place votes
and easily outdistanced 2011 winner Clayton
Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gio
Gonzalez of Washington nished third.
Dickey joined Dwight Gooden (1985) and
three-time winner Tom Seaver as the only Mets
pitchers to win the award. The right-hander
was the clubs rst 20-game winner since
Frank Viola in 1990. And perhaps most
impressive, Dickey did it during a season when
the fourth-place Mets nished 74-88.
It just feels good all over, he said.
Price and Dickey are both from Tennessee,
making them the fourth pair of Cy Young win-
ners to be born in the same state, according to
STATS.
The two MVP awards will be announced
Thursday. Verlanders teammate, Triple Crown
winner Miguel Cabrera, is a leading contender
in the American League.

As manager Melvin will
welcome back Bartolo Colon
OAKLAND Bartolo Colon will be wel-
comed back to the Oakland Athletics with no
hard feelings at least by newly crowned AL
Manager of the Year Bob Melvin.
Melvin said Wednesday he is thrilled the
right-hander will return to the club next year after
his 2012 season ended with a 50-game suspen-
sion Aug. 22 for testing positive for testosterone.
Colon received a $3 million, one-year contract
Nov. 3, though he still has ve games remaining
on his suspension when the 2013 season starts.
While the new deal includes incentives for starts
and innings, he also has potential bonuses for
relief appearances though Melvin said Colon
would prepare as a starter and will be
embraced by the reigning AL West champions.
Hes gone through his penalty, Melvin said.
Its one thing if its a guy who might be a little
bit of a bad guy, but his is a true gentleman, a
great guy who just made a mistake. Hell be
embraced back here again. He was very impor-
tant for us. Guys like that can kind of get lost in
the shufe when theyre not here and you get to
the postseason, but he was a key guy for us, he
really was.
The former Cy Young winner went 10-9 with a
3.43 ERA in 24 starts for Oakland last season, his
15th in the majors.
As general manager Billy Beane said nding a
veteran pitcher to be part of a young rotation
and for the nancial value Colon was the per-
fect t.
Melvin said he last spoke to Colon about three
weeks after the suspension began, and they will
talk again before the start of spring training in
February.
I dont need to talk to Bart. I will call him at
some point in time, Melvin said. I got very
close to him, and we had a nice conversation and
he was very remorseful when all that went down.
I think in the back of his mind he was hoping this
situation would arise for him again, and it did.
As brief
SPORTS 15
Mix Diskerud gave the U.S. soccer a team a
thrilling end to 2012.
Playing just his third game for the Americans,
the 22-year-old midelder scored his rst inter-
national goal on a 20-yard shot 2:50 into four
minutes of injury time, giving the United States
a 2-2 tie against Russia on Wednesday in an
exhibition game at Krasnodar.
Michael Bradley, who scored in the 76th
minute, sent a long ball into the penalty area
toward Terrence Boyd. Defender Sergei
Ignashevich tied to clear the ball but his header
went on one hop to Diskerud. His right-footed
shot took a bounce and spin in off the left hand
of goalkeeper Vladimir Gabulov.
It was a long ball and I was hoping with all
my heart that it would come back to me and it
did, Diskerud said. I got a nice strike.
Diskeruds whose mother is from Arizona and
whose father is from Norway, was a member of
the American under-23 team that failed to quali-
fy for the London Olympics.
We can compete with very good teams in the
world, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. The
way our team fought back twice after being
down a goal was great. It showed a lot of per-
sonality. It showed a lot of character. This is a
young team, and a team that is growing.
Fedor Smolov, making his Russian national
team debut, gave the hosts the lead in the ninth
minute following a giveaway by Danny
Williams, who mis-hit the ball trying for a quick
free kick in his own half.
Bradley tied it on a 19-yard volley, his 11th
international goal. Maurice Edu passed to Juan
Agudelo in the penalty area, and Agudelo head-
ed the ball back to an open Bradley for a right-
footed shot that clanked in off the post to
Gabulovs right.
I caught it perfect, Bradley said.
Roman Shirokov put Russia back ahead 2-1
when he converted a penalty kick in the 84th
minute after a foul by Clarence Goodson, who
pushed over Artem Dzyuba in front of goalkeep-
er Tim Howard following a free kick.
I think we came in at halftime frustrated with
ourselves, Bradley said. We were too casual
from the start and good teams make you pay.
Maybe we were a little lucky after the rst 15
minutes that it was only 1-0.
The 27th-ranked United States, missing regu-
lars Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan and Steve
Cherundolo, are preparing for the nal round of
qualifying next year for the 2014 World Cup.
They nished the year at 9-2-3 with a .750 win-
ning percentage that tied their best in the modern
era, set in 2005. The U.S. had two big rsts,
beating Italy and winning at Mexico City, and its
only defeats came in an exhibition against Brazil
and a World Cup qualier at Jamaica.
We only had two losses, a bunch of wins,
some really tough-fought draws and we topped
the group, Howard said of the Americans nish
in the seminals of World Cup qualifying. It
was a really fantastic year. Its not something to
be ashamed of. Its a really good, positive year
for this group.
The ninth-ranked Russians are 4-0-2 since for-
mer England coach Fabio Capello took over last
summer.
Howard had six saves, including two nifty
stops in succession in the 66th when he batted
away an open shot by Renat Yanbaev and then
parried Vasily Berezutskiys shot over the cross-
bar.
Jozy Altidore started at forward for the U.S.
after he was dropped from the roster for last
months qualiers following poor performances
against Jamaica in September.
Jozy Altidore today was a handful,
Klinsmann said. He gets a big, big compliment
for his performance.
Timmy Chandler started at right back. He had
not played for the Americans since last
November, uncertain whether he wanted to com-
mit to the U.S. program, and would not be tied
to the program until he plays in a competitive
match such a qualier.
I think the team has grown a lot in a lot of
ways,Altidore said. Weve had a lot of ups and
downs, but I think were nding our identity
again and thats important going into the nature
of the nal qualifying round. Its going to be
tough, but weve grown a lot.
NOTES: U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra left
in the 18th minute with a strained left hamstring.
He was replaced by Clarence Goodson, who
paired with Geoff Cameron in central defense.
Bocanegras 110th career game moved him into
a sixth-place tie on the U.S. list with Paul
Caligiuri, who had 110 appearances from 1984-
98. ... The starting lineup marked the rst time
since June 19, 2011, the U.S. team had no
starters from MLS clubs. The previous game
was a 2-0 victory over Jamaica in the CONCA-
CAF Gold Cup. ... Josh Gatt, a speedy 21-year-
old midelder, started in his national team debut
and was replaced by Agudelo in the 63rd.
Diskerud goal gives
US 2-2 tie at Russia
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Jeremy Affeldt want-
ed some job security and the reliable reliev-
er got it.
The left-hander and the World Series cham-
pion San Francisco Giants completed an $18
million, three-year contract Wednesday.
Bobby Evans, the teams vice president of
baseball operations, said the deal had been
nalized to keep Affeldt in the Bay Area.
We are so happy to be back with our San
Francisco family, Affeldt said.
Affeldt, who returned home to Washington
State from San Francisco after taking his phys-
ical Tuesday, realizes few relievers can say
they will have spent seven years with the same
team. The 33-year-old Affeldt went 1-2 with a
2.70 ERA in 67 appearances covering 63 1-3
innings this season for the Giants.
Its an awesome opportunity to stay in that
city for a few more years, he said. This is
what I was looking for not one year, not one
year with an option. When you can get a mul-
tiyear deal in one city and give your family
some stability, its a good thing.
When the season ended, he publicly said he
wanted to stay but would not accept a one-year
deal because he wanted to provide some sta-
bility for his family he has a wife and three
young sons. Affeldt also was a key member of
the bullpen during the clubs 2010 run to the
franchises rst championship since 1954.
Im glad it got done, manager Bruce
Bochy said. He is such a key swing guy who
can be used in the sixth inning on. That was an
important sign for us. Im excited to have the
crazy left-hander back. Hes getting better
with age, his stuff, his command. He is a more
complete pitcher now than when we got him.
Hes doing what you want your players to do:
keep getting better.
General manager Brian Sabean called re-
signing Affeldt one of his top offseason prior-
ities. Affeldt lives on the West Coast in his
hometown of Spokane, Wash., so re-signing
with the Giants was appealing from that stand-
point as well.
Its great to retain such a big piece to our
bullpen puzzle, Sabean said.
He has spent the past four of his 11 major
league seasons with San Francisco, going 10-
9 with a 2.73 ERA in 237 1-3 innings and 184
outings.
Affeldt dealt with two bizarre, non-baseball
injuries the past two seasons.
In late April, he sprained his right knee and
went on the disabled list after he reached out to
catch his son, Walker, as the 60-pound 4-year-
old jumped off the couch to hug his arriving
father.
On Sept. 8, 2011, the pitcher sliced his non-
throwing hand nearly to the artery while sepa-
rating frozen hamburgers during an outdoor
barbecue with his family on an off-day. The
paring knife he was using pushed through a
hamburger patty and deep into his hand.
Affeldt came within a millimeter of an artery
and underwent surgery about eight hours after
the injury to repair nerve damage in his pinkie.
Those are fluke injuries, Bochy said.
These guys have to live their lives. We let
these guys live their normal lives thats the
way it should be. Were all occasionally going
to have them, and he has a knack for the good
ones.

period, with the only miss being a shot from
goaltender Will Runkel, whose length-of-the-
pool shot hit the crossbar as the period ended.
Bret Hinrichs got SHP on the scoreboard
with a 5-meter penalty shot at the 5:07 mark
of the rst period. He added a second on a
one-timer off an assist from Enright for a 2-0
lead. Enrights rst goal made it 3-nil Gators
and Hinrichs completed a rst-period hat trick
to give SHP a 4-0 lead after seven minutes.
Conner Will added a pair of power-play
goals to start the second period and Enrights
second goal of the night gave the Gators a 7-0
lead at the half.
Five different players scored in the third
period as the Gators upped their lead in the
third. But a chance at a second straight shutout
went by the boards when Soquels Kala
Buthman nally slipped a shot past Runkel,
who nished the match with 10 saves.
Goals from Finn Banks, Michael Schurr and
Grant Hardly rounded out the scoring for SHP.
The only question remaining for the Gators
in determining where this team ranks among
the all-time teams at Sacred Heart Prep.
Kreutzkamp said hell wait to answer the
question until after Saturdays championship
match, but right now, this team is on the short
list of all time Gators greats.
To go through the schedule weve gone
through, playing the best teams in the nation,
and have only four losses, its going to be hard
not to say [this is the best team Ive had]."

POLO
played on the eld. Ofcially listed as an out-
elder/rst baseman, she can play just about
anywhere. She was a catcher for the Knights
her freshman year, even though she had never
played the position before. While the Cal Poly-
SLO coaching staff hasnt told Tyler where she
will be playing, shes guessing it will be some-
where in the outeld, considering the
Mustangs already have a rst baseman.
Regardless of where she plays, she said she
will be ready for the challenge. As such, she is
not about to take it easy now that she has a
scholarship in hand.
Obviously [signing the Letter of Intent] was
a huge relief. But Im still working hard, Im
still trying get my grades better (she currently
has a 3.85 GPA). Its denitely a relief, but its
no excuse to slack off.
While she has had a stellar high school
career, she really got noticed by the Cal Poly
staff for her play with her club team, the San
Jose Sting one of the top softball clubs in
the Bay Area. The Stings various rosters are
dotted with whos who of the South Bay soft-
ball world and a few of its alumni are already
playing at Cal Poly.
Because of the caliber of players on the
Sting, she knows what it takes to get to the
next level.
I was always the baby, playing up (an age
group). I was trying to live up to them. They
were going places and now Im going places.
Its so surreal, Tyler said. I was always trying
to keep up with these girls. They were the best
girls ever, who didnt slack off even though
they already had scholarships. The (Sting)
teams I played denitely had a love of the
game. There was never a doubt in my decision
to play college softball.

Tyler isnt the only local athlete ofcially
committing to college athletic programs.
Aragons Samantha Bowman, a coxswain for
the Nor Cal Crew out of Redwood City,
signed a Letter of Intent to row at Duke
University in North Carolina.
This is just like a dream come true,
Bowman said. Its just a shock.
Bowman started rowing as a freshman and
said Duke showed interest last spring. She took
an ofcial visit to the campus in September
and gave the Blue Devils an oral commitment
at that time. Wednesday, she made it ofcial.
Its a great sport. Once you get involved, it
sucks you in. Its hard to get out. Its a great
bubble, Bowman said.

In other signing news, Matt Krook, a senior
at St. Ignatius High in San Francisco and a
member of those juggernaut Hillsborough
Little League All-Star teams that ran
roughshod through District 52 play and to divi-
sional and sectional play in the early- to mid-
2000s, signed a National Letter of Intent to
play baseball at University of Oregon. Krook
batted .404 and posted an ERA of 2.75 in 10
appearances for the Irish last season, helping
them to a 23-8-1 record in 2012.

Oregon States quarterback shufe is
emblematic of what has been happen-
ing around the Pac-12 all season.
Injuries and inconsistency have dogged
many teams in a league that has always
been known for its strong quarterbacks.
The No. 15 Beavers started out the
season with Sean Mannion under cen-
ter. Because of injury they went to
Cody Vaz. Then it was back briey to
Mannion. This week its undetermined.
Other Pac-12 teams that have
switched quarterbacks include No. 14
Stanford, which started with Josh
Nunes but swapped him for dual threat
Kevin Hogan, and beleaguered
Colorado, which started the season
with Kansas transfer Jordan Webb but
is now looking toward Connor Wood
and Nick Hirschman.
Washington State has gone back and
forth between Jeff Tuel and Connor
Halliday.
Injuries are also an issue. Cal senior
Zach Maynard is nursing a sprained left
knee. Arizona quarterback Matt Scott
missed a game with a concussion and
might not be back in time to face Utah
on Saturday. They Utes are expected to
start true freshman Travis Wilson, who
unseated Jon Hays.
This week, as Oregon State (7-2, 5-
2) prepares to host California (3-8, 2-
6), the starting quarterback is still up in
the air on both sides.
The Beavers situation is certainly
unique.
Mannion took over the Beavers as a
redshirt freshman last season when the
team nished just 3-9 overall. He got
off to a strong start this year, leading
Oregon State to four straight wins
while throwing for an average of 339
yards a game.
But Mannions fortunes took a turn
when he injured his left knee on a hand-
off during a game against Washington
State. Two days later, the Beavers
announced he needed surgery and the
timeline for his return was uncertain.
So Oregon State turned to Cody Vaz,
who had not started since high school
but coolly led the Beavers in victories
over BYU and Utah, helping the team
to its best start since 1907.
Mannion made an unexpectedly
quick recovery and returned to start the
next week at Washington. He strug-
gled, however, throwing four intercep-
tions in the Beavers rst loss of the
season. So Oregon State turned back to
Vaz, who helped the team to a victory
against Arizona State.
Vaz started last week in a 27-23 loss
to Stanford, but he injured his left ankle
during the waning moments. Mannion
was taking snaps in practice earlier this
week while the Beavers waited to see if
Vaz would be cleared.
Oregon State is lucky. Since Vaz had
a few quality starts, the Beavers know
what theyre getting with either quarter-
back.
With either guy, we just decide
whats going to be best to do against the
upcoming team. Theyre both passers
rst, the both manage the offense and I
think theyre both good players, coach
Mike Riley said. They dont really
bring something different than the
other guy, nor do we have to tone some
things down in regard to either guy.
Thats the beauty of the thing, they both
in spring practice and fall camp
basically shared the turns for two years.
We just run our offense.

REVI EWS:
By Ibrahim Barzak and Josef Federman
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Israel carried
out a blistering offensive of more than 20
airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday,
assassinating Hamas military commander and
targeting the armed groups training facilities
and rocket launchers in Israels most intense
attack on the territory in nearly four years.
Israel said the airstrikes, launched in
response to days of rocket re out of Hamas-
ruled Gaza, were the beginning of a broader
operation against the Islamic militants code-
named Pillar of Defense. Israeli defense of-
cials said a ground operation was a strong pos-
sibility in the coming days though they
stressed no decisions had been made and much
would depend on Hamas reaction. There were
no immediate signs of extraordinary troop
deployments along the border.
The attack came at a time when Israel seems
to be under re from all directions. Relations
have been deteriorating with Egypts new
Islamist government, Egypts lawless Sinai
desert has become a staging ground for mili-
tant attacks on Israel, and the Syrian civil war
has begun to spill over Israels northern bor-
der. Earlier this week, Israel red back at Syria
for the rst time in nearly 40 years after
stray mortar re landed in the Israeli-con-
trolled Golan Heights.
With at least 10 Palestinians dead, including
two young children, Wednesdays offensive
was certain to set off a new round of heavy
ghting with Gaza militants, who have built
up a formidable arsenal of rockets and mis-
siles.
It also threatened to upset Israels relations
with neighboring Egypt and shake up the cam-
paign for Israeli elections in January. In a pre-
liminary response, Egypt recalled its ambassa-
dor to Israel in protest.
In a nationwide address, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel could no
longer stand repeated attacks on its southern
towns. Days of rocket re have heavily dis-
rupted life for some 1 million people in the
region, canceling school and forcing residents
to remain indoors.
If there is a need, the military is pre-
pared to expand the operation. We will
continue to do everything to protect our
citizens, Netanyahu declared.
The Israeli military said it was ready, if nec-
essary, to send ground troops into Gaza. The
defense ofcials who said a ground operation
was likely in the coming days spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they were dis-
cussing sensitive military plans.
We are at the beginning of the event, and
not the end, Defense Minister Ehud Barak
said, in a joint appearance with the prime min-
ister. In the long run I believe the operation
will help strengthen the power of deterrence
and to return quiet to the south.
Israeli assassinates Hamas military chief
Ahmed Jabari, the Hamas military chief, is
the latest of a number of Hamas leaders
killed by Israel in airstrikes over the past
decade.
July 2002: An Israeli warplane drops a
bomb on the home of Salah Shehadeh,
the head of the Hamas military wing,
killing him and 14 others, including
women and children.
March 2004: An Israeli missile strike kills
Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the Hamas spiritual
leader, near a Gaza City mosque. Yassin,
paralyzed in a childhood accident, was
among the founders of Hamas founders
in 1987, a few days after the outbreak of
the rst Palestinian uprising. Hamas is the
Palestinian offshoot of the region-wide
Muslim Brotherhood.
April 2004: Israel kills Gazas Hamas leader
Abdel Aziz Rantisi in a missile strike on his
car. Two of Rantisis bodyguards are also
killed.
January 2009: An Israeli warplane drops
a bomb on the home of Nizar Rayyan, a
senior Hamas figure, killing him and 18
others.The attack comes several days after
Israel launches a three-week military
offensive, against Hamas in Gaza.
January 2009, an Israeli airstrike during
the offensive kills Said Siam, the interior
minister in Gazas Hamas government. A
missile hits the home of Siams brother and
also kills two other senior Hamas
members.

Something small is afoot. Backyard cottages
from 800-square-foot bungalows to
Lilliputian studio cabins are springing up
behind houses in many cities, some of which
have changed zoning laws to accommodate
them.
Often, the cottages are built for aging parents
or grown children. Sometimes, theyre rented
out for extra income, or are used as studios or
ofces.
Backyard cottages increase density in a nice
way, says Bruce Parker, principal of the Seattle-
based design collective Microhouse. They use
existing infrastructure and ... theyre inherently
sustainable. A cottage is the antithesis of a big
house on a tiny lot.
Seattle updated its zoning laws in 2009 to
allow for accessory dwelling units on single-
family lots of at least 4,000 square feet. (Permits
are needed depending on the size of the cottage
and whether it has plumbing and electricity.)
While Parker had been designing small homes
for several years, the microhouse law inspired
him to focus on backyard dwellings. Soon, he
was teaching classes on backyard cottages with
the Seattle rm NCompass Construction.
About 90 percent of his students, he said,
wanted to build a cottage for their parents.
Rather than paying thousands of dollars a
month for assisted living, you can have your par-
ents with you and they can help with the kids
but everyone gets their own space, says Parker.
Often, its the parents who pay to build the
cottages. Its an investment for their comfort
and a way to improve their childrens property,
says Parker. One pragmatic woman told me she
hoped her great-granddaughter would use it for
college housing after she was gone.
In Portland, Ore., which changed zoning rules
in 2010 to allow for backyard cottages, Jasmine
Deatherage and her mother, Diane Hoglund,
looked for a house with a large yard specically
with this living arrangement in mind.
We really wanted to live together, says
Deatherage. I have a 2-year-old and my mom
will be taking on some of the childcare. Its a
special time to live together.

Fall planting is in full swing. As you nestle tulips, daffodils,
hyacinths and crocuses into the soil, dont neglect to also plant
some minor bulbs minor only because they arent well
known, not because they lack quality.
Many of these bulbs are so minor as to even lack common
names. But botanical names are not all that cumbersome. After
all crocus, hyacinth and narcissus are botanical names.
Some names of minor bulbs are even fun to say: Puschkinia,
for example, rolls smoothly off the tongue once you sound it
out and, for me, conjures up an image of a friendly, stuffed
clown doll.
BLUE AND BLUISH
Puschkinia in very early spring sends up strappy leaves and
6-inch ower stalks, atop which sit clusters of white owers
striped with shadings of grayish blue. Its the perfect bulb to
tuck into a partially shaded rock garden or under trees and
shrubs.
Plant puschkinia this year and the planting will become
increasingly beautiful over the years as the bulb naturalizes,
increasing its numbers by self-seeding.
Another early bloomer that should become better known is
chionodoxa. Again, the rst step is to slowly sound out the
name. Then plant it and wait a few months for the rich blue
owers, small but in great numbers, as many as a dozen per
stem.
Two other dainty blue owers for early and mid-spring are,
respectively, squill and muscari. (See? Not all minor bulbs
have botanical or unfamiliar names.)
Muscari, especially, naturalizes readily to the extent that
patches of lawn given over to it look in mid-spring like a piece
of blue sky has dropped on the ground.
ROUNDING OUT THE SPECTRUM
The minor bulb palette is not restricted to blues and whites:
Allium sphaerocephalon, sometimes known as round-headed
leek, is a beauty displaying Tootsie roll pops of reddish pur-

Trustee Henry Sanchez absent, moved the
proposal forward.
I cant believe were begging you to
improve these schools, El Crystal Principal
Skip Johnson said when it appeared the board
would be deadlocked with a split vote.
Despite voting for the magnet proposal,
board President Skip Henderson still had
questions about the possible negative impact it
may cause throughout the district.
Were in deep doo-doo when it comes to
nances, said Henderson.
Adding another program into the mix when
there are other problems isnt prudent. He also
had concerns that the new program would
draw students from other San Bruno schools
causing a lower enrollment. Such a change
could make other schools more vulnerable to
closure a conversation that will most likely
be rekindled given the districts budget chal-
lenges.
Johnson, along with members in the audi-
ence, pledged to raise the funds needed to get
the program started. If the money isnt raised,
Johnson told Henderson they would have to
pull the plug. Advocates pointed to grant and
donor possibilities if the program is given the
go-ahead. Securing that money, supporters
argued, would give the district more money to
spend on other district schools.
Martinezs concerns were not about the pro-
gram but more about the possible benet and
access to all students. He also had questions
about governance that he wanted worked out
before approval.
Trustees Jim Prescott and Jennifer Blanco
both favored the proposal, crediting staff and
the community for coming together to bring
forward a creative solution that could draw
positive change to the district.
Unlike most magnet schools, the El Crystal
proposal includes keeping the current bound-
aries and allowing students from throughout
the district to also enroll as space permits. The
school would convert its media center to be
formally named the Danford Center for
Innovation. The name will honor the Danford
Foundation which has donated more than
$200,000 to both El Crystal and Parkside to
support the implementation of technology.
The center would serve as space for continued
teacher professional development and as a
student technology activity center, according
to the proposal included in the staff report.
The plan also calls for the creation of a sub-
committee including school, district and com-
munity representatives to create an action plan
that includes designing curriculum, consider-
ing enrollment possibilities, making presenta-
tions to the larger school community, working
with a volunteer architect to redesign the
media center and seeking outside funding.
Budget and school closure remain serious
issues for the district.
The San Bruno Park Elementary School
Board of Trustees hoped to curb the decit
with Measure G, a ve-year, $199 annual par-
cel tax that failed on the Nov. 6 ballot. An
updated current budget now shows an expect-
ed $3.26 million decit, according to a report
by the Fiscal Sustainability Task Force. The
presentation, which was supposed to be heard
last night, calls for a $980,000 transfer from a
special savings account and for more than
$500,000 in either cuts or increased revenue.
The conversation about the budget, along
with a number of other agendized items,
werent heard Wednesday. Instead, the meet-
ing was ended at 10 p.m. and the conversation
was moved to a special meeting to be held
Thursday, Nov. 29.

ple in late spring. You might recognize from
the botanical name that this bulb is in the
onion family and, except for its color, it does
indeed resemble chives in bloom. Like chives,
it likes lots of sun.
Lets return to blues and whites, this time to
some bulbs that are somewhat familiar but
which you might forget: snowdrops, dwarf
irises and Spanish bluebells.
As implied by their name, the nodding,
white owers of snowdrops do appear very
early, providing owers in winter a very
welcome sight.
Dwarf irises, appearing a bit later, are dain-
ty cousins of Siberian irises, growing only a
few inches tall and with intensely blue owers
a particularly charming sight when their
dark blue petals catch hold of a few akes of
newly fallen snow.
Spanish bluebells are giants among these
minor bulbs, growing over a foot high. The
bell-like owers come in a range of colors,
including shades of blue, but also pink and
white.

As much as I love the cool, crisp weather
that accompanies fall, it doesnt take long for
me to get fed up with some of the garden
chores that come with it.
Just as I nish raking the multitudes of
leaves and twigs that appear after each gust of
wind, more reappear from God knows where.
I try to remind myself that all these leaves are
a gift, and my compost will be all the richer
because of them. But after the freshly cleared
lawn gets covered with fallen leaves for the
umpteenth time, I start dreaming about ring
up the chain saw, imagining how I would
rather have a big pile of rewood than a big
pile of compost.
Fortunately, I always come to my senses.
Eventually the cleanup will come to an end,
but in the meantime there are plenty of other
jobs that need to be done this month.
Now is the time to take soil samples of any
garden areas that failed to perform well in the
past season. This is especially true of veg-
etable gardens, but it also holds true for ower
gardens, shrub borders and even lawns.
Your state or county agricultural extension
agency can do an analysis of your soil, often
for free. Most states provide online instruc-
tions on how to take soil samples, along with
an address you can send the samples to. Some
states even provide bags to mail the samples
in. (Not sure how to nd your agency? Just
type your countys name and agricultural
extension in an Internet search engine.)
A detailed analysis from your extension
agent will provide you with information need-
ed for soil amendments. Many amendments
can still be added now to give you a head start
on spring work.
Speaking of getting a jump on spring, now
is a good time to prepare seed beds for early
spring crops such as peas, spinach, arugula
and radishes. I add plenty of compost and
aged manure now so the beds will be ready
early. Often my soil is too wet to work in early
spring, but its ne to work now.
I still have root vegetables in my garden,
such as beets and carrots. I prefer to leave
them in the cool soil, where they will sit in a
suspended state of animation until I harvest
them. However, there are other roots from the
garden that will need to be dug and stored
soon. Dahlia tubers should be dug as soon as
the rst hard frost blackens their leaves and
stems.
Once the foliage has been killed by frost. I
cut the plants down, leaving stems that are
about 6 inches above the soil. I gently dig
down and lift the tubers from the ground in
one clump and gently shake off any loose soil
but leave any soil that clings to the tubers.
I put the clumps on screens placed between
two saw horses and let them dry for a day or
two out in the garden before placing the
clumps (soil and all) into stackable plastic
milk crates. I store the crates in an area of my
basement that is far from the furnace where
temperatures stay between 40 and 50 degrees.
Cooler temperatures will keep the tubers
from drying out too much over the next few
months until it is time to replant them into the
garden next spring.
Taking care of soil and roots
After the rst hard frost, its time to dig up your dahlia tubers.

$2.7 billion greater than forecast in the
2012-13 budget, partly because of over-
ly optimistic projections for how much
the state would get from the dissolution
of local redevelopment agencies that
Brown initiated. Taylor said the state
will see about $1.8 billion less than
expected.
On Wednesday, the governor said the
analysts report validated his administra-
tions work these past two years to
reduce spending, streamline departments
and make government more efcient.
Weve had cuts. Weve had a lot of
cuts. And with Proposition 30 we have
some revenue. ... Together it puts the
state in a very solid position for a sus-
tainable balanced budget for years to
come, Brown told reporters at appear-
ance at a UC Board of Regents meeting.
The governor said he would like to see
the state exercise scal discipline, pay
down our debts and build a rainy day
fund. Were not out of the woods yet,
he said.
Republican Assemblyman Jim Nielsen
of Gerber said he believes Democrats
will repeal a state law eliminating auto-
matic cost-of-living increases and go on
a spending spree.
Being encouraged by this low decit
level and emboldened by the people
approving tax increases, I think that the
spenders are going to say, Hey, weve
got the green light, said the vice chair
of the Assembly budget committee. So
the key will be what restraint Jerry
Brown can exert upon them.
The analysts report projects a surplus
starting in 2014, thanks partly to
Browns tax initiative, the states eco-
nomic recovery and previous budget
cuts, but he cautioned that the forecast is
dependent upon a continuing steady eco-
nomic recovery and strict spending con-
trols by the governor and Legislature.
Brown, a Democrat, bet big this
November by asking voters to approve
Proposition 30, which raises the
statewide sales tax by a quarter cent and
boosts income taxes on the wealthy to
help solve the states ongoing decit.
Voters, particularly minorities and those
between the ages of 18 and 29, agreed.
The tax hikes are expected to provide
an additional $6 billion a year for the
state and deliver on a campaign promise
Brown made two years ago to x the
states perpetual budget decits and to
raise taxes only if voters approved.
Proposition 30 raises the statewide
sales tax to 7.5 percent for four years
and income taxes rates to between 10.3
and 12.3 percent for seven years on
income over $250,000 a year. The credit
rating agencies Standard & Poors and
Moodys signaled their approval of the
states nancial picture after it passed.
Voters also approved more taxes under
Proposition 39, which closes a corporate
tax loophole and is projected to raise
about $1 billion a year.
The $91.3 billion budget lawmakers
approved last summer called for about
$6 billion in automatic cuts to K-12
schools and universities if the initiative
failed.
According to the state nance depart-
ment, tax revenues have largely been on
pace with the states budget projections.
Overall, revenues are $176 million
below forecast, but October revenues
came in $208 million above the months
forecast.
The nance department reported that
the state brought in an additional $1.4
billion from income and corporate taxes
that it had attributed to past years. But
Taylor warned that such practice could
be problematic and he urged the
Legislature to direct the administration
to use a simpler accounting method.
But the decline of Facebooks stock
price has rubbed out some of the money
the state was hoping to receive. The ana-
lyst previously estimated the state would
generate $1.9 billion from taxes related
to the sale of Facebooks stock but
reduced that amount by $626 million.
Facebook went public at $38 a share
but closed around $22 Wednesday.
The analysts ofce cautioned that its
budget outlook was based on conserva-
tive assumptions. Taylor said his staff
did not account for cost-of-living
increases or ination in state programs.
The state has yet to address its pension
and retiree health care liability.
DEFICIT
under the federal health care reform law.
The governors ofce is expected to
forward the plan to the Obama adminis-
tration on Friday, the deadline for states
to notify the federal government about
whether they plan to establish health
care exchanges. The deadline for states
to submit an operational plan, as
California is doing, has been extended to
mid-December.
We dont need more time, said Peter
Lee, the boards executive director.
Weve been working feverishly over
the past year, were excited about going
forward, and that blueprint is a big
deal.
The action by the California Health
Benet Exchange board, which changed
its name last month to Covered
California, kicks off a sprint toward the
Jan. 1, 2014, deadline for states to have
health insurance exchanges up and run-
ning.
In 2010, California became the rst
state to authorize a health insurance
exchange after passage of the federal
Affordable Care Act. It is expected to
offer affordable care to some 3 million
uninsured Californians, although Lee
said a realistic coverage gure by 2017
is closer to 2.3 million.
Another 1.2 million to 1.6 million
Californians are expected to be covered
under expanded Medicaid provisions.
Small-business owners who nd it dif-
cult to provide health coverage to their
employees also are a prime target of the
coming marketplace.
This is a big moment for California
going forward, Lee said, shortly before
the board unanimously approved the
blueprint and an application for more
than $700 million in federal grant
money. One of the ve members of the
exchange board, Dr. Robert Ross, was
absent.
Some states may opt out, meaning the
federal government will step in and
operate their insurance marketplace,
while others will create an exchange in
conjunction with the federal govern-
ment.
Until open enrollment begins next
October, Covered California will hire
staff, set up the exchange, begin educat-
ing the public about how it will work
and select health plans to participate
from the 33 that have indicated they
intend to submit bids.
Diana Dooley, the boards chair-
woman, said the state has made great
progress so far in creating a health care
marketplace, but said the upcoming year
will be fast-paced.
Board members noted that California
has more uninsured residents roughly
7 million than the entire population of
some states. One of the exchanges key
challenges between now and the time
open enrollment begins is to explain to
Californians how they will be affected
by the reforms and how this new part of
state government will work.
Californias ethnic diversity also will
be a challenge in getting out the mes-
sage. The exchanges marketing effort
will provide outreach material in 13 lan-
guages.
Its still a very heavy lift, said
Dooley, who also is the secretary of the
state Health and Human Services
Agency.
She and Lee expressed relief that
President Barack Obama had been re-
elected, because Republicans had vowed
to repeal the health care overhaul if they
had won the White House. At least
some of the uncertainty that we faced is
now behind us, she said.
Covered Californias chief mission is
to expand coverage by providing low-
cost but affordable health care using fed-
eral tax subsidies and credits. The mar-
ketplace it is establishing will allow con-
sumers to compare plans and prices
online.
Under the federal law, consumers will
be required to have insurance or pay a
penalty, the so-called individual man-
date. By 2016, that penalty will be $695
a year per family member, or $347 for
dependents under age 18.
HEALTH
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The probability of mak-
ing a breakthrough on a recent project is exception-
ally good. However, its smart to keep this matter
confdential.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you fnd yourself
in a position where you can help guide a friend
through an awkward maze, dont wait to be asked, es-
pecially if you see your pal making avoidable mistakes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An opportunity
might arise that would enable you to be of assistance
to someone you could easily help. If you dont do so,
sadly, chances are itll be for some selfsh reason.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your powers of obser-
vation are especially keen, and you will easily spot
errors in others methods. Find an opening to correct
them without appearing to be a know-it-all.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If youve got the
experience, it might be smart for you to assume the
principal role in a joint endeavor rather than leave
things up to your partner. Why take a chance on what
the other party might not know?
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You could get a lot
more accomplished if you are willing to cooperate
with your colleagues. Youll quickly discover that
theyll pull for you when you pull for them.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Before doing any work
for another, get a frm commitment on what your
prospective employer is willing to pay. Chances are,
the bigger the reward, the better job youll do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youll instinctively treat
everyone as an equal and, since most people hold you
in high esteem, theyll take it as a huge compliment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This is a good day to
take on some tasks that you know you should have
attended to by now but have been neglecting. Once
theyre done, itll be a huge load off your back.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try to set aside some time to
spend with someone you like but havent seen much
of lately. Itll prove to be a happy event, but more
importantly, you could learn something quite valuable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Some kind and generous
behavior you display to others could turn out to be of
tremendous personal beneft in the long run. It pays
to be a giver.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The major reason why
your words carry more weight than usual is that they
will not only come straight from the heart but will
have a strong ring of sincerity as well.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
William J. McPartland
Case Number 122872
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Wiilliam J. McPartland.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Frank J. McPartland. in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Frank J. McPartland. be appointed as
personal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: Decenber 14, 2012
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

eight months ago.
Its a great promise of tomorrow, said
Fera Hashemi, another manger at Arya. In
the meantime, were here.
She pointed to the construction blockade
that prevents vehicle trafc on Theatre Way on
weekdays.
Look at it, she said. In the rain, my cus-
tomers cant drop off people in front of the
restaurant.
The city held its rst meeting with the
impacted businesses last Thursday.
Hashemi left the meeting hopeful that there
would be collaboration with the city to
improve customer access to the shops and
restaurants during construction.
While Theatre Way is opened up for vehicle
traffic Friday evening through Sunday
evening, some suggested opening up Theatre
Way on weekday afternoons too.
Another idea Hashemi liked was setting up
valet parking on the east end of Theatre Way.
She suggested valet cars be parked in the
courthouse parking garage, which is free after
6 p.m.
After the meeting, Community
Development Director Bill Ekern said he was
open to the concerns of the business owners.
Our commitment is to the businesses, he
said.
He acknowledged that the construction
deters the already ckle customer base.
Its brutal for businesses, he said. I dont
think were going to be able to solve every-
ones problems. Parking is always difcult in
cities.
But some of the solutions proposed by busi-
nesses are plausible, he said. And he is willing
to consider revising project logistics if it
would help them.
Many of the business owners feel the proj-
ect will be benecial in the long run, but are
worried about making it in the short term, and
during the upcoming holiday season.
Portobello Grill owner Kamran Mahrou was
concerned about customer access, but was
hopeful after the meeting that the city will
help.
We like to encourage people to come here,
everybodys open, he said. Were working
with the city to make it as easy as possible.
While there are less parking spaces in the
Middleeld Road lot, there are 750 spaces in
the Jefferson garage under their building
shared with Century 20 Theatre, he said. And
there are more spaces in the courthouse park-
ing garage.
We do need the support of the people dur-
ing construction, he said.
Despite the potential shortfalls, Mahrou is
optimistic about of citys downtown improve-
ment projects.
Everything Redwood City is trying to do is
going to make the area exciting, he said. So
it will be good in the end.
Pizza My Heart manager Bobbi Jo
Cannizzaro said she would like Theatre Way
to be open for her delivery drivers.
Pizza My Heart has seen an 8 percent
decrease in sales from the same time last year.
But the construction has not hurt her business,
which offers delivery, as much as the other
restaurants, she said.
She hopes the city will start construction
earlier in the morning and begin to open up
Theatre Way on weekday afternoons.
We will all benet if they actually do it,
she said.
The rst phase of relocating the under-
ground storm culvert will last up to eight
months, according to the citys website. The
entire project is estimated to take more than
two years to complete.
The city is expected to hold another meeting
with businesses in the next few weeks.

BUSINESS
to allow the 7-Eleven to only operate on the
site for two years, the minimum city code
allows for. It could also vote not to terminate
the use regardless of the Planning
Commissions recommendations that would
allow 7-Eleven to operate on the site for the
duration of its 10-year, just-signed lease or
even longer.
The old deli stood vacant so long that city
staff determined the market use had discontin-
ued for the site and that it should be reverted
back to residential.
But an interim legal counsel for the city
opined earlier this year that the markets then
owners had no intention to abandon the
market use for the site despite it being mar-
keted for medical ofce uses.
In February, the public was invited to hear a
request for a zoning code amendment sought
by Portfolio Development Partners to keep the
market use on the site.
The public process ended abruptly after the
legal opinion, however, and residents were
then shocked to see a 7-Eleven would move
into the site.
The San Mateo Heights Neighborhood
Association then rallied support to protest the
7-Eleven, based on the potential for increased
crime, litter and trafc in the predominately
residential family-friendly neighborhood.
A building permit for minor interior
improvements for the market was approved on
Aug. 30 by city staff just two days after the
sale of the property was nalized from Isaac
Choy and Susan Lin to Portfolio Development
Partners.
Once the determination was made that the
retail/market use was a continuation of a legal
non-conforming use, and all other relevant
Municipal Code requirements were met, there
was no discretion under which the city could
deny the building permit. The property was
purchased in 2012 by Portfolio Development
Partners LLC for $1.009 million, in anticipa-
tion of receiving this building permit and with
the intent of reopening a market on the prop-
erty, according to a city staff report.
Deputy Mayor David Lim called for the
public hearings to consider whether to termi-
nate the market use for the property after
neighbors started expressing concerns on hav-
ing an all-night liquor store operate in the
area.
Stangelinis operated on the site for nearly
70 years.
A source close to Portfolio said the compa-
ny would have no other option than to sue the
city if the council moves to terminate the use
and not allow the company to recoup its
investment.
The San Mateo City Council meets 7 p.m.,
tonight, City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San
Mateo.
