Students choose Brown, pass Proposition 19 Police reports

On Tuesday, students in Pam Seligman’s

much about those two either.
“When I watch shows on Hulu, there are ads

Attacks simplify Brown and unions
By Samantha Young
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — In one of her most
notable campaign attack ads, Republican
Meg Whitman portrays her opponent for
governor as a puppet of labor — a politician
who has benefited from at least $20 million
in union spending this year.
On the airwaves, at debates and on the
campaign trail, Whitman casts Democrat
Jerry Brown as a politician who will do the
bidding of California’s powerful unions if he
is elected.
“Jerry Brown is beholden to these public
employee unions,” Whitman said during their
final debate earlier this month.
The full story is not as simple, and
Brown’s relationship with unions — and
their role in this year’s governor’s race — is
more complicated than Whitman’s attacks
suggest. For example, Whitman does not
advertise that she also has courted public
employee unions representing law enforce-
ment and has benefited from their spending.
There is no doubt Brown has benefited
more from union support in this election
cycle and has strong historical ties with
labor.
He approved collective bargaining for state
workers when he was governor, from 1975 to
1983, and marched for farmworker rights
with labor leader Cesar Chavez. One of the
hallmarks of his first term was his signature

in 1975 of the country’s first agricultural
labor relations law, which allowed farm-
workers to unionize.
Local and national unions have given near-
ly $5.5 million to Brown since he formed his
exploratory committee last year, according to
a tally from his latest campaign finance
report. That’s roughly 15 percent of all his
campaign contributions.
The amount is on top of the nearly $24 mil-
lion identified by the California Fair Political
Practices Commission that unions have spent
in independent expenditures to air ads on
Brown’s behalf, visit work sites, make phone
calls to union households and to people iden-
tified as individuals with “union values.”
State and local unions from around the
inspector general reviewed more than $9 mil-
lion in payments and found problems with 38
percent of them.

country have sent checks to Brown, as have
national unions representing firefighters, pip-
efitters, painters, communication and food
workers, engineers and utility workers.
Yet Brown has often voted against labor
interests, and unions have campaigned
against him in the past.
He vetoed pay raises for state employees
twice when he was governor, characterizing
them as excessive, although Brown did
approve some pay raises. He also proposed
changes to government pensions that would
have lowered retirement benefits for new
employees and signed legislation during his
last year in office that established a two-tier
pension system, although it was never imple-

Another state audit earlier this year also
concluded that the rail authority failed to

worth of contract work.

Local brief
Giants-themed cat
adoption program a hit
More than 100 black and orange cats have
been adopted from the Peninsula Humane
Society/SPCA since the
shelter announced a spe-
cial Giants-themed promo-
tion 20 days ago, humane
society officials said.
Since announcing a spe-
cial $9 adoption fee for all
black and orange cats in
recognition of the San
Francisco Giants playoff Scott Delucchi
run, the Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCA (PHS/SPCA) has
found new homes for 105 of the Giants-col-
ored felines.
“That is a really good RBI total for a single
season, but an astounding adoption total for
just a few weeks,” said PHS/SPCA spokesman
Scott Delucchi. “And this total doesn’t include
adoptions of dogs, non black and orange cats,
rabbits, birds and other pets we regularly
make available for adoption.”
Since the regular adoption fee for cats is $80
($50 for cats age 6+ and $95 for kittens), the
adoption promotion has been a hit. This led
shelter staff to extend the black and orange
promotion through the end of the World Series,
which could be as late as Nove. 4. The promo-
tion was originally scheduled to end Oct. 31.
Shelter staff believe that extending the pro-
motion’s end date could mean the adoption
total nears 200, which will also mean more
than $10,000 in lost adoption fees which shel-
ter officials said they are more than happy
about.
To meet some available cats visit
www.PHS-SPCA.org. All adoptions include a
spay or neuter surgery, a microchip, all vacci-
nations and a health and behavior screening.
Shelter adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
during the week and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on
weekends. Adopters are kindly asked to arrive
at least an hour before closing to complete an
adoption.

Backyard treehouse
survives legal battle
By Verena Dobnik
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In the country-
side, in the suburbs or even in the
leafier districts of New York’s outer
boroughs, a treehouse would hardly
raise an eyebrow. But in a historic
Manhattan neighborhood whose
residents have included Mark Twain
and Eleanor Roosevelt, it raised
hackles.
Shortly after Melinda Hackett put
up the round, cedar treehouse for her
girls in a broad-trunked London Plane
tree in her tiny Greenwich Village
backyard, a neighbor called about “a

“I got home and the police were at

After months of legal battles,
Hackett triumphed. Her girls’ tree-
house, apparently unique in one of
America’s most densely populated
areas, can not only stay — it’s been
granted an official permit as part of
a district with landmark status.
Though the treehouse is only five

t’s that time of year again,
boys and ghouls. Time to set
aside reality and crawl into
the shoes of somebody — or some
thing — else, all in the name of
frights, freaks and candy.
Chances are good Halloween
creeped up fast this year, slipping
in like a poltergeist while every-
body is focused on the really scary
gubernatorial showdown brewing
next week or having mini-heart
attacks during baseball’s frighten-
ingly nail-biting postseason.
So what to do if you find your-
self heading toward All Hallow’s
Eve without a costume? Never fear
— there is still time to make an
impression without resorting to
stacks of Bumpits and fake tanner.
Everybody else is thinking Snooki,
too. Females, frankly, have it easi-
est when it comes to last-minute
ideas; just pop on a pair of ears,
some scanty clothing and declare
yourself a mouse. But why be so
predictable?
Those still looking for an excuse
to pull out the mini skirts and
cleavage can consider being a Tiger
Woods mistress. Rope several
friends into doing the same and be
the whole sordid crew. Don’t forget
Gloria Allred or a golf-club wield-
ing Elin!
More pro-biker than pro-golfer?
Add some tattoos to the mini skirts
and bustiers. Don’t forget the anti-
Semitic attitude. Now you’re a
Jesse James’ gal.

haired poodle ears. Wear a T-shirt
that says “sex” and a pair of glass-
es with crazed eyes. Say hello to
former vice president Al Gore.
Speaking of politics, why not be
the odd couple? The woman should
go for the Quaker Oats mascot; the
man throw on some moonbeams.
You’re the gubernatorial candi-
dates. Meg fans can also revert
back to the scanty clothing as long
as they offer services for a price.
Let the person in the Jerry Brown
aide costume explain who she is.
Or, how about a vintage witch
hat and cape? Now you’re
Christine O’Donnell.
If you’re willing to wear a cos-
tume that doesn’t allow for much
dancing or sitting, slip into a tall
box covered in Islamic imagery
and be a mosque near Ground
Zero. Ooh! Scary!
In the same vein, glue a train and
some tracks on your clothing and
run around as fast as you can.
High-speed rail is a pretty frighten-
ing proposition.
What if you need a group cos-
tume? Try Michael Jackson’s
alleged love children. Participants
don’t even need to look alike, or
like him.
How about having one person be
Kung Fu Panda, another a freak,
throw in a rodeo clown, convince
somebody to wear a women’s
thong and let the others battle over
the deep black beard. Extra credit
for The Machine. If the San
Francisco Giants aren’t scary now,
they will be by the time they’re
done trouncing the Texas Rangers!
Aside from picking the perfect
disguise, Halloween parties can
also prove a challenge. If you’re no
good at small talk, simply wear an
Arizona shirt and show off your
green card. Or share personal infor-
mation about others but refuse to
say how you came upon it. Call
yourself Wikileaks.
Or, what if you don’t want to be
social? What if you weren’t invit-
ed?
For those who didn’t make the
invite list, grab a group and crash it
anyway. Make sure to insult any-
one dressed as a military member
or Gleek, hoist inappropriate signs,
refuse to leave when asked and
claim it is all in the name of a
higher power. Then explain you’re
the Westboro Baptist Church con-
gregation. Extra points if you travel
between state lines.
If you don’t want to stay at a
party too long, wear a Jet Blue
flight attendant outfit with a
“Steven” name tag. When you just
can’t take it any more, grab a beer
and yell at others before sliding out
the door.
You could claim to be a Chilean
miner but that only buys some
time. You must still show up, hard
hat on and rocks in hand, at some
point. Make sure two women fight
over you.
If you don’t want to attend the
party at all, call and explain you’ve
been blocked by a volcanic erup-
tion. Then blame a lost passport.
Happy Halloween, Lindsay Lohan!
Calling or texting regrets is also
acceptable as long as the messages

Measure U deserves support
Editor,
There are many important issues
on the Nov. 2 ballot, one of which
is Measure U. This measure will
protect the right of voters to
decide who should represent our
great county in the future.
Measure U would require that the
supervisors call for an election for
any vacancy in the first two years
and nine months of a supervisor’s
term. This ensures that the people
of San Mateo County have the
final say over who represents us
in government, rather than politi-
cal agendas at the Board of
Supervisors.
During these tough economic
times, we will be forced to do
more with less and be creative
and decisive on how we choose to
utilize our precious resources. We
need representatives to make their
individual case to the voters on
how they will work collaborative-
ly, put policy before politics, and
prioritize the genuine need of our
community. Vote yes on Measure
U and keep decision making
where it belongs; with the people
of San Mateo County.

Editor,
It’s a fact: We have excellent
neighborhood high schools
preparing local students for col-
lege and well-paying jobs.
Newsweek has recognized our
San Mateo Union High School
District schools as among the
very best in the nation. Families
choose to move to our area for the
quality of our high schools, pro-
tecting everyone’s property val-
ues.
At a time when state funding
for our schools is uncertain at
best, we are voting yes on
Measure O to continue strong stu-
dent achievement in our local
high schools with funding that
cannot be taken away by the state
or be used for administrators’
salaries. Measure O gives us the
local control we need to continue
high-quality education.
Measure O provides a modern
learning environment and updated
technology for all high school stu-
dents, including hands-on job
training opportunities to prepare
students for college and high pay-
ing 21st-century careers. A boost
to our local economy, Measure O
will also create local construction
jobs, help protect teacher and staff
jobs in our schools and educate
our community’s future work-
force.
A smart way to alleviate the
state budget cuts that are impact-
ing schools across California,
Measure O will create more than
$1 million in annual savings to
help retain teachers and protect
academic programs by refinancing
outstanding loans and improving
energy efficiency.
Fiscal accountability is of prime
importance, which is why
Measure O includes required
annual audits, yearly community
reports and a Citizen Oversight
Committee to ensure funds are
used wisely for voter-approved
purposes.
Measure O will not only help to
continue student success, it will
help to ensure the stability of our
community with strong property
values, additional construction
jobs and a well-educated work-
force to fuel our economy. Please
join us on Tuesday, Nov. 2 and
vote yes on Measure O.

Change? Not when
it comes to marijuana
Editor,
So, President Obama, where’s
the hope? The change? Marijuana
prohibition has caused massive
damage to society for too long.
Not only has it caused a huge
drain on the taxpayers, but it also
hasn’t worked, and instead causes
horrible increases in violence
against our children, by our chil-
dren, wealthy drug lords and vast
increases in prison, court and
police costs. To add to the misery,
it cannot be taxed. Yet you oppose
California’s attempt to relieve this
crippling burden. This is leader-
ship? You are not even following.
I don’t think you know what
change is. Maybe you and those
others in La-La Land, are too busy
bowing and scraping to BP to pay
attention to the disasters we face.
Wake up and end the marijuana
war; regulate it like alcohol and
tobacco, let our police deal with
real crimes — then maybe you
could address jobs and global cli-
mate change.
In your spare time, naturally.

NEW YORK — Stock prices fell
Wednesday as concerns grew over
whether the Federal Reserve’s plans to
buy Treasury bonds might be smaller
and slower than anticipated.
Stocks had been rising in recent weeks
due to a number of strong earnings
reports and mounting expectations that
the Fed would embark on another round
of bond-buying to stimulate the econo-
my.
Traders have been anticipating the Fed
would buy between $500 billion and $1
trillion in Treasurys to drive interest
rates lower and encourage lending and
spending. A report in The Wall Street
Journal said the Fed’s bond purchases
might amount to a few hundred billion
dollars over several months, which
would fall short of those predictions.
“The higher the number, the better for
the market,” said Michael Gault, a senior
portfolio strategist at Weiser Capital
Management. “Every measured step
from that, the market will pull back.”
The Fed meets next week and details
of any stimulus are expected to be
announced when the meeting wraps up

New home sales rise 6.6 percent
By Alan Zibel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Sales of new
homes improved last month after the
worst summer in nearly five decades, but
not enough to lift the struggling econo-
my.
The Commerce Department says new
home sales in September grew 6.6 per-
cent from a month earlier to a seasonal-
ly adjusted annual sales pace of 307,000.
Even with the increase, the past five
months have been the worst for new
home sales on records dating back to

September home sales encouraging. But
he said it doesn’t change the fact that

A report on durable goods orders gave
a mixed picture of the health of the econ-
omy. The Commerce Department said
durable goods rose faster than econo-
mists had forecast in September.
However, excluding the volatile trans-
portation sector, orders fell. Economists
polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast
a rise in orders excluding transportation.
The report indicates the pace of
growth in manufacturing is slowing.
Manufacturing had been one of the
brightest spots in the economy during
the first half of the year.
Sales of new homes rose slightly faster
than economists had expected last

Second day of massive storms

VALE, N.C. — Yolanda Corona prayed she
wouldn’t die.
She was watching television with 10 rela-

The windows blew out of the living room.

The family huddled in a back bedroom,

Holy card! Nuns
auctioning rare Honus Wagner
BALTIMORE — Sister Virginia Muller had
never heard of shortstop Honus Wagner.
But she quickly learned the baseball great is
a revered figure among collectors, and the most
sought-after baseball card in history. And
thanks to an unexpected donation, one of the
century-old cards belongs to Muller and her
order, the Baltimore-based School Sisters of
Notre Dame.
The Roman Catholic nuns are auctioning off
the card, which despite its poor condition is
expected to fetch between $150,000 and
$200,000. The proceeds will go to their min-
istries in 35 countries around the world.
The card is part of the T206 series, produced
between 1909 and 1911. About 60 Wagner
cards are known to exist.
A near-mint-condition T206 Wagner card
sold in 2007 for $2.8 million, the highest price
ever for a baseball card. Muller remains aghast
that the 1 1/4-inch-by-2 1/2-inch piece of card-

Not much has changed for Golden State under

Ellis had 17 points in the first quarter and 23 in
the half, but Houston still led 68-67 at the break.

Lakers, surpassed that in the first half with 19. He

The Warriors pulled away in the third quarter
behind Curry. The second-year guard made a pair

a pair of free throws to give Golden State a 100-93

Alex Smith out, Troy Smith in for Niners
By Mattias Karen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — With quarterback Alex Smith
ruled out because of a separated shoulder, San
Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary
is gambling on Troy Smith being able to turn
his struggling team around.
Singletary said Wednesday the former
Heisman Trophy winner will get his first NFL
start in three years after Alex Smith was ruled
out for 2 to 3 weeks with a separated left
shoulder. The Niners play the Denver Broncos
at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Singletary picked the former Ohio State
standout ahead of David Carr, who came on
against Carolina after Alex Smith was injured
on Sunday but threw a costly late interception
that led to the winning field goal for the
Panthers.
“Troy Smith gives us a good opportunity to
win this game,” Singletary said. “I talked to
David Carr about it. He understands. We had
a couple of conversations about it. That’s a
personal thing between he and I, and I’m
going to leave it there. Troy Smith is our start-
ing quarterback.”
With the Niners off to a 1-6 start, Singletary
has little to lose by taking a gamble.

Francisco’s offense extra
options with his scram-
bling ability, said he was-
Troy Smith
n’t surprised by
Singletary’s decision.
“The way that you prepare as a profession-
al athlete, you have to be prepared when your
number is called. And that’s exactly where
I’m at,” he said.
The Niners have a bye following the game
at Wembley, giving Alex Smith a chance to
heal before San Francisco faces the St. Louis
Rams on Nov. 14. He was tackled from the
blind side by Carolina’s Charles Johnson,
driving his shoulder into the turf. He arrived
in London on Monday — along with the rest
of the team — and spent the morning at the
hospital, still with his non-throwing arm in a
sling.
Singletary said Troy Smith had never taken
first-team snaps in practice with the Niners
before this week, but that he’s catching on
quickly.
“He’s been studying since we got here, and
cent to the Raiders’ practice
fields, a duty generally
reserved for the starter.

Singletary said. “He has

told “a couple of days
ago” that he would start
and would “continue to

for the rest of the week.
“I think the easiest way to get through to
your teammates that you’re serious about
what’s going on is to know exactly what your
job is, know exactly what everyone expects
from you and go out and execute,” Troy Smith
said. “At the same time you have to respect
your boundaries. I believe in not stepping on
anybody’s toes, I believe in getting in where
you fit in.”
While the quarterback will be leading a new
team in completely new surroundings — in
front of about 85,000 British fans — there is
one reason he might feel right at home.
Troy Smith will be linking up once again
with wide receiver Ted Ginn, one of his best
friends from childhood and a favorite target
throughout his playing career.
The duo played together both in high school
in Cleveland and at Ohio State, and Ginn said
Campbell will make his sec-
ond consecutive start and
third overall this season.

they can’t wait to get out on the field again
together.
“It’s great to be able to get back in tune with
a guy that you’ve been playing with your
whole life,” Ginn said. “For us to go out and
continue our journey that we’ve been (on) so
far is great.”
Ginn, who joined the Niners from Miami
this season, said he first met Troy Smith when
they were 7 years old and their families went
to the same church. Back then though, their
conversations didn’t focus on football, but on
who was going to sneak out to get some
snacks.
“It was at church, and we had a McDonalds
to our left, and we had a little candy store to
our right,” Ginn said. “And we would sneak
out of the church, and either I would hold the
door and he would run to McDonalds, or he
would hold the door and I would run to the
candy store. That’s how we started off, and
then we just grew from there.”
Troy Smith said he isn’t about to favor his
old buddy if other targets are open.
“It’s not just about my brother Ted Ginn, it’s
about the other receivers that are going to be
out there also,” he said. “We have tremendous
playmakers everywhere, and it’s my job, my
duty, to get everybody the ball.”

That might be a tough sell, particularly to a
franchise that has been starved for success of
any kind over the last seven years. The Raiders
haven’t won back-to-back games since 2008 and
have a recent history of following up big wins
with equally big flops.

doubles.
Sanchez became the first player ever to double
in his first three World Series at-bats, driving in
three runs to help the San Francisco Giants beat
the Texas Rangers 11-7 in Game 1 on
Wednesday night.
Sanchez doubled to right field off Cliff Lee in
the first inning only to get erased on the bases
when he broke for third on Buster Posey’s shal-
low fly to right field. Second baseman Ian
Kinsler made an impressive running grab and
easily doubled up Sanchez to help the Rangers

Fear the Beard closer finished it off.
Sanchez finished with four of the Giants’ 14
hits, which included six doubles. Right after
Lee walked off the mound in the fifth, Uribe
greeted sidearming reliever Darren O’Day with
a three-run jolt that broke it open.
San Francisco had gotten through the NL

game progressed. The shaggy-haired ace
walked off to a standing ovation in the sixth, his
glove in his right hand and his head down.
The Rangers tagged him for eight hits, two of
them shots off his left leg.
What happened to Lee was simply remark-
able.
He came into the game with a 7-0 record in
postseason play, one win shy of matching the
record set by Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez
for the best start in these big games.
But the lefty who loves to stick to his routine
— and his messy hat — was all over the place
on eight days’ rest. He couldn’t control his
curve and when he did throw it over the plate, it
was flat.
With the score 2-all, Andres Torres hit a one-
out double in the Giants fifth. Sanchez, a former
NL batting champion, followed with a sharp
double and Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux
was already on the way to the mound as the
Rangers got the ball back to Lee.
Series history with three doubles in one game
and the first since Jacoby Ellsbury did it for
Boston in Game 3 in 2007 against Colorado.
Sanchez added an RBI single in the eighth
inning. The play was briefly ruled a double,
which would have tied Frank Isbell’s World
Series record of four in a game for the White Sox
in 1906, but was changed to a single and an error
on right fielder Vladimir Guerrero.
A short wait
While some players have to wait years to make
it to the World Series, San Francisco catcher
Buster Posey has gotten there as a rookie.
What makes it all the more noteworthy is that
There was no break for Lee, however. NL
championship series MVP Ross, who hit his
first major league homer off Lee back in 2003,
lined an RBI single up the middle on the lefty’s
100th pitch. That hit prompted Lee to slam his
pitching hand into his glove, and Huff’s RBI
single to center finished him.
Uribe capped the big inning by connecting on
the third pitch from O’Day. The homer was
accompanied by sights and sounds that make
AT&T Park unique — burst from a fog horn
and blasts from a water cannon.
The last time the Giants had scored six runs in
an inning during the postseason was in the 1937
World Series.
The Giants have not won the World Series
since moving West from New York. Texas made
its first Series appearance in the franchise’s 50th

simply let Michael Young scamper back to

Hollywood is jam-packed with dis-
tractions for the world’s top pound-for-

even a congressman in this country.
Trainer Freddie Roach says
Pacquiao is having the worst training
camp of his career heading into his
Nov. 13 meeting with Antonio
Margarito in Texas.
In the five months since he won a
congressional seat in his native
Philippines, boxing has lost some of its
urgency for Pacquiao. Roach can even
cite physical evidence their careers
have been hurt by politics.
“He has a foot problem, and that’s
because he wears dress shoes too
much,” Roach said, referring to the
nagging left heel injury that has slowed
Pacquiao’s running.
Although Roach thinks he’ll have no
problem putting together a speed-
based game plan to beat the bigger
Margarito, he’s worried about
Pacquiao’s ability to execute it. The

Volleyball’s regular season finishes up next

Smith out with a sprained left shoulder. Troy
Smith was signed late in training camp and
has not seen a first-team snap until this week.
To all you fans howling for Carr to replace
Alex Smith over the last several weeks: You
still want Carr as your quarterback? Carr
looked completely out of place last week, and
team beat writers believe coach Mike
Singletary has no faith in Carr following a
lackluster training camp.
This all begs two questions: One, does the
team really think a quarterback, Troy Smith,
who has seen all of three starts in his NFL
career, is the guy to carry them to a win?
Second, why do they keep Carr if they don’t
think he can do the job?
Just another case of a hapless organization
that has no clue as to what it is doing. Get
ready for a lot of Frank Gore on Sunday. And
I mean a lot.

Nearly a month after uber-reporter Emanuel
Smith answered with eight seconds remaining
by skipping a shot 20 feet away from the cage
to beat Clark Lawson in goal. Mills pulled
within two, 7-5, to begin the third quarter, but
that was as close as the Vikings would come to
drawing even.
“It was definitely a lot better than last sea-
son,” Vikings coach Daniel Tran said. “We’re
still rebuilding.”
The Vikings, which dropped to 3-8 in
league play with the loss, have been a program
in flux in Tran’s second season at the helm.
Tran said just getting pool time to practice has
been difficult, because Mills doesn’t have a
place to train on campus. For the first two
weeks of the season, the team was forced to
it, but the puck caromed past him, and
Thornton scored into the empty net.
Thornton set up Heatley in front of the net
for San Jose’s final goal at 6:47 of the third.
Greene scored on a power play with 5:38
remaining.
NOTES: Among NHL players 31 or
younger at the start of the season, Thornton
Lee left the Daily Journal, his replacement is
finally onboard.

RAIDERS
Continued from page 13
Campbell said it’s important the Raiders do the
same thing regarding their 59-14 win in Denver.
“We’ve got to put it behind us,” Campbell said
Wednesday. “It’s all about the next week. Was it
a positive to see what we went out and did last
week? It’s extremely a big positive. Now the
challenge is can we maintain that energy that we
had last week?”
Acquired from Washington in an offseason
trade, Campbell has had an up and down year so
far. He was named the team’s starter in training
camp, lost the job to Gradkowski in Week 2 then
came back when Gradkowski got hurt against
San Diego.
After Campbell struggled in a 17-9 loss to San
Francisco on Oct. 17, when he garnered a career-
low 10.7 rating, Cable hinted the team might
look at Boller as an option.
Instead, Cable stuck with Campbell and he
responded with his best game of the season
against Denver despite being without his top
three receivers for much of the game. He com-
pleted 12 of 20 attempts for 204 yards, two
touchdowns and a 127.9 rating while helping the
Raiders set a franchise record for points scored.
“Not just for me but for the whole offense and
the whole team, our whole mindset was just cut
it loose, make plays and have fun,” Campbell
said. “You always want to exceed the expecta-
tions and do everything you can to help the team
get to where we want to go and win. We proba-
bly were pressing a little bit too much early on in
the season. I think now guys are just cutting it
loose and just playing football.”
Notes: WR Louis Murphy (chest and lung
contusion), WR Chaz Schilens (knee), LG
Robert Gallery (calf), DT John Henderson (foot)
and CB Chris Johnson (concussion) did not prac-
tice. Murphy could be sidelined two weeks,
Cable said.

Open flow: Plan before knocking down a wall

By Melissa Rayworth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If your home was built within the
last decade, odds are it was
designed with an open plan. The
kitchen flows seamlessly into the
family room, and few walls separate
the living and dining areas.
But what if your home is a bit
older? In the 1970s and ’80s, “hous-
es were built with a separate great
room, separate small living room,
separate small dining area” and a
kitchen walled off from the rest,
says Ellen Goode, professor of inte-
rior design at Meredith College, in
Raleigh, N.C. Phrases like “formal
dining room” and “breakfast nook”
were selling points.
Today, many owners of those
houses want the flexibility of an
open plan, and are knocking down
walls to get it.
Kitchens are frequently merged
with other rooms to create a larger,
more inviting family area.
“The kitchen is the hub of the
household,” says Paul J. Zuch, pres-
ident of the National Association of
the Remodeling Industry. “Kids are
doing homework ... mom wants to
keep an eye on the kids when
they’re on the Internet.” Busy fami-
lies are trying to spend time togeth-
er when they’re home.
Another reason why walls in
older homes are coming down is
because beds, sofas and other pos-
sessions are larger than they were a
Knocking down a wall may seem pretty easy,and it can be.But doing the demolition and rebuilding,and figuring
out how to decorate the new combined space,can be complicated
generation ago, says Dorcas
Helfant, past president of the
National Association of Realtors.
“We want big screens,” she says,
“and we need space to sit back far
enough from the screen.”
Knocking down a wall may seem
pretty easy, and it can be. But doing
the demolition and rebuilding, and
figuring out how to decorate the
new combined space can be compli-
cated, says Vern Yip, designer for
HGTV’s “Urban Oasis.”
Planning is vital, he says. And as
potential DIY projects go, this one
is best left to a professional.
CHALLENGES AND COSTS
Demolishing a wall doesn’t have
to be expensive or complicated,
assuming nothing is hidden inside.
But it’s likely there is some mix of
electrical wiring, heating ducts,
plumbing, even sewer and gas lines
snaking through the wall’s interior.
Those items will need to be
rerouted. And new electrical outlets
will need to be installed elsewhere,
perhaps in the floor, to make up for
any that are removed.
Another potential cost: Walls
originally built before 1978 proba-
bly have a base layer of lead paint.
Even if they’ve been repainted since
then, the removal must be done in
compliance with safety guidelines.
A certified remodeler can test for
lead, Zuch says, and remove it prop-
erly.
Most important, a load-bearing
wall (which kitchen walls often are)
will have to be replaced with archi-
tectural columns or some other type
of support. So it’s wise to have the
wall assessed by an expert before
doing any demolition.
In addition, there are costs that
can’t be measured in dollars and
cents: With a flowing floor plan,
noise is harder to contain. If a child
is doing homework at the kitchen
table and needs quiet, Goode points
out, you can’t close a door to keep
out the sound of a television in the
family room.
And keeping pets and toddlers in
one place becomes more difficult
when you can’t simply close the
kitchen door.
Despite the difficulties and costs,
says Zuch, “consider the benefits of
changing the floor plan.” If an open
plan means family members can
spend more time together and really
enjoy the space, he says, “it may be
well worth the effort.”
It also may add to your home’s
resale value. Says Helfant: “Space
sells and flow sells.”
DESIGN IMPLICATIONS
From a design perspective,
knocking down a wall brings oppor-
tunity and a few hurdles.

Mom Caves: Updated rooms of one’s own
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roxanne Jacoby has a guest room in her
Pennsylvania home that no guest has ever slept
in. It’s really her Mom Cave.
Outfitted with mementos and comfort items,
it’s the only room in the house she really calls
her own.
“I’ve put in an alpaca throw, down pillows, a
fan, my favorite scented candle, and a whole
bunch of stuff that I want to read,” says Jacoby.
It’s not like she couldn’t set all that up in a
corner of the family room. But that “guest

“A home always seems much larger with
fewer walls, even though you haven’t expand-
ed your exterior envelope,” says Yip. “You
open the possibility of more natural light
pouring into parts that previously couldn’t
access natural light.”
SUBURBAN LIVING
Many women — and not just moms — are
taking over some of the fallow ground at
home and turning it into a haven to pursue
personal pursuits. They stake out an unused
closet, basement nook or extra bedroom.
Some use the space to work without interrup-
tion — they’ve got it all teched up with Wi-Fi,
perhaps a TV. Others say none of that’s
allowed, just books and maybe a music play-
er.
Lori Remien, a teacher in Evanston, Ill.,
took over an unused nook off her daughter’s
room when she needed a place to work on her
National Boards exams a few years ago. “I
went to Ikea and bought a comfy wicker chair,
a plush red rug, some pretty black and white
the foliage turns black, cut the plant back
leaving about 6 inches of stem above the
ground. Compost the tops of the plants. Using
a garden fork, lift the dahlia tubers out of the
ground, taking care not to break them. Insert
the garden fork about 1 foot away from the
stem to be on the safe side. Once the first plant
is dug, you can gage how close to insert the
fork on the rest.
Some people prefer to wash any clinging
soil from the tubers, but I prefer to lightly
brush the soil off, avoiding any excess mois-
ture before storage. Cut the stems back to
about 3 to 4 inches, and be sure each clump
But once a wall is down, “you don’t have
Space A separated from Space B, so it all
needs to work together,” he says. A kitchen
and family room may both need to be redeco-
rated if they’re now connected.
Furniture can be used to delineate specific
areas, but homeowners may not know how to
accomplish that. “I see this all the time: I
don’t know where to put my sofa, don’t know
where to put my TV, because you’ve removed
all your interior walls,” says Yip.
Goode says partial-height walls or standing
curtains. It’s still a great retreat where I can
watch the shows the rest of my family doesn’t
watch,” she says.
New York designer Elaine Griffin embraces
the Mom Cave concept and recently partnered
with Homegoods in Manhattan to show some
decor and space suggestions. She says, “A
Mom Cave is where the woman who nurtures
everyone goes to nurture herself.”
It’s different from the quintessential “man
cave,” where men do manly, messy and sporty
things, often involving a recliner. Griffin notes,
“Mom Caves are fun, frankly feminine spaces,
and they’re personalized.”
Here’s what you need for your Mom Cave: a
place to sit, storage space, an area to do what
has some stem attached to the tubers. Leave
the tubers to dry in a bright, airy spot for a
day, and then place them in bins or boxes
filled with vermiculite or sand. I use horticul-
tural grade vermiculite in old plastic milk
crates lined with plastic bags to keep the ver-
miculite from spilling out. Store the tubers in
a cool, dark spot that does not freeze until
spring. Avoid storing your tubers near your
furnace, as the warm dry air will cause shriv-
eling.
I attach labels to the top of the stems so that,
come spring, I remember which varieties are
which. Bury the tubers with vermiculite so all
screens can help avoid a barn-like feeling and
make areas more distinct.
One strategy Yip likes: In advance, “lay out
your furniture as if you’ve already removed
the wall, or sketch out a space-plan on a piece
of paper so you actually know this is going to
work for you.”
“You want to make sure the rooms still
function like you’ll want them to function,” he
says.
Helfant recommends consulting with an
interior designer or home stager to plan the

tors.
“Organizing your stuff makes your space
feel bigger. I love bookcases — you can hide
in plain sight,” says Griffin. Colorful boxes
and file folders work well; group an array of
favorite photos in fun frames on the shelves.
Griffin has a penchant for color — the mini-
rooms she created for Homegoods were lively
and welcoming. A reading corner with chaise
and bookcases was painted vibrant fuchsia. A
closet had been transformed into a tiny yet
functional office, swathed in a warm caramel
hue and accented with dramatic touches such
as rattan lamps and black furnishings, includ-

parts are covered. The goal is to prevent air
from drying the tubers out over the winter. Be
sure to check the bins once or twice every 6 to
8 weeks. If the tubers appear soft and shriv-
eled, sprinkle a little water into the vermicu-
lite. If they are still firm to the touch, cover
them back up and leave them alone. If any
appear rotted like a bad potato, promptly
remove them and discard to avoid the spread
of disease.

for another season.

wall or just a portion should go. Depending on
the cost, a designer may suggest including a
column or two just to define the space, even if
it isn’t necessary to support structural weight.
When budgeting, Yip says, don’t forget
things like new flooring, replastering the ceil-
ing, new crown molding and baseboards.
“It becomes much more than just, I’m
gonna swing my sledgehammer and take this
wall out,” he says.

Berry plants can be winners in form and function
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Berry plants are flavorful favorites in many
kitchen gardens, but their ornamental value is
all but ignored.
These versatile perennials bloom in spring,
fruit in summer and dazzle again in autumn,
combining fashionable form with edible func-
tion.
Strawberries make an attractive ground
cover, specially when flowering. Leaves on
blueberry plants turn crimson in fall, and their
bare red stems stand out dramatically against
the wintertime snow. Grapevines draped over
arbors are eye-catching any time of year.
“There’s also no great mystery in growing
them,” said Barbara Bowling, author of “The
Berry Grower’s Companion” (Timber Press,
2000). “If you select a good site and pay
attention, you can grow wonderful fruit and
have an interesting plant to boot.”
Maintenance is minimal, but that doesn’t
mean the plants can be ignored.
“Water a day late and you’ve done avoid-
able damage,” Bowling said from her home in
Boise, Idaho. “Weed a week late and it’s the
same deal. Harvest the fruit late and you have
a mess.’
Time for a little definition. Fruits common-
ly called “berries” include strawberries, bram-
bles (raspberries, blackberries and various
hybrids), blueberries, cranberries, currants,
grapes, gooseberries and elderberries,
Bowling said.
Berries deliver a remarkable range of fla-
vors and come in a wide range of colors. They
frequently are eaten fresh, but just as often are
processed into juices, jams, pastries and dairy
products such as smoothies.

Veteran gardeners suggest starting with some-
thing you like, then narrowing it to cultivars
hardy enough for your region. Choose sites
with good drainage and plenty of sun.
Elderberries were almost forgotten plants
that have become popular recently, said Edie
Johnston, whose Eldertide Pharm in Dresden,
Maine, was awarded a grant to develop them
as a specialty crop.
“Elderberries have always been recognized
for their health benefits,” Johnston said.
“Some growers call them their ‘medicine
chests,’ and drink elderberry juice for the
antioxidants. But they’re also great specimen
plants with beautiful white flower clusters and
gorgeous leaves.”
Blueberries are another fine multipurpose
plant, and that includes an uncommon new
variety called “Pink Lemonade.” It’s a USDA
hybrid.
“I know it sounds a little bizarre, but we
think the potential of this pink berry for land-
scape and culinary use is huge,” said Karen

ager for Briggs Plant Propagators in Elma,
Wash.

Death toll in Indonesian Around the world

MENTAWAI ISLANDS, Indonesia — The
death toll from a tsunami and a volcano rose to
more than 300 Wednesday as more victims of
Indonesia’s double disasters were found and an
official said a warning system installed after a
deadly ocean wave in 2004 had broken from a
lack of maintenance.
Hundreds were still missing after Monday’s
tsunami struck the remote Mentawi islands off
western Sumatra, where officials were only
beginning to chart the scope of the devastation.
At least 311 people died as the huge wave, trig-
gered by an undersea earthquake, washed away
wooden and bamboo homes, displacing more
than 20,000 people.

CAIRO — Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden
threatens in a new audio tape to kill French cit-

U.S.-led war in Afghanistan and a new law that
will ban face-covering Muslim veils.
In the tape obtained by satellite television
station Al-Jazeera and then posted on its web-
site on Wednesday, bin Laden said France was
aiding the Americans in the killing of Muslim
women and children in an apparent reference to
the war in Afghanistan. He said the kidnapping
of five French citizens in the African nation of
Niger last month was a reaction to what he
called France’s oppression of Muslims.

Mexican car wash massacre

By E. Eduardo Castillo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Gunmen killed 15 peo-
ple at a car wash Wednesday in a Mexican
Pacific coast state where drug-gang violence
has risen this year. It was the third massacre in
Mexico in less than a week.
The gunmen in three vehicles drove up to
the car wash in the city of Tepic and opened
fire without provocation, said Fernando
Carvajal, public safety secretary of Nayarit
state, where the city is located. Fifteen men
were killed and three people were injured.
The motive was not immediately clear but
investigators suspect it was the work of organ-
ized crime, Carvajal told reporters.
He said most of the victims were recovering
drug addicts and worked at the car wash. One
victim, however, had just driven up to the
business in a motorcycle and appeared not to
have worked there, and another body was
found at a nearby fruit stand.
Carvajal said the owners of the business
have another car wash in the city where a man
was killed Tuesday, and police were investi-
gating whether the attacks were linked.
Nayarit Gov. Ney Gonzalez told Radio
Formula that investigators believe some of the
victims had been washing a stolen car.
President Felipe Calderon, speaking at a
forum on security, called for a minute of
silence for the victims of the Tepic attack and
two other massacres that have occurred since
Friday: an attack on a birthday party that killed
14 young people in the border city of Ciudad
Juarez, and a shooting at a drug rehab center in
Tijuana that killed 13 recovering addicts.

Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010
Keep the faith, because advancement in your chosen field of
endeavor might come about in a circuitous manner in the next
year. Have an open mind, work hard and deal with develop-
ments in a flexible manner as each one arises.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Don’t allow an old, established
relationship to suffer because of your enthusiasm for a new
one. You should be able to handle both without hurting any-
one’s feelings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - This can be a better
than average day where your finances and career are con-
cerned, as long as you aren’t afraid to operate in areas where
you have true chances for rewarding results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - You’re likely to get an
opportunity to follow Kipling’s advice about meeting “both tri-
umph and disaster and treating those two imposters just the
same.” It’ll pay to view life philosophically
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Financial indicators look
better than usual, especially with something you consider to
be a second source of income. You’ll get an opportunity to tie
down what has been an elusive arrangement.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Your methods for doing things
are likely to be better and faster than your competitor’s, but
you must have the courage to put them to work. Just relax
and do your thing.
be able to focus on your goals, giving yourself far greater
chances to succeed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - It is extremely important that
you handle a critical assignment yourself instead of asking
others to take it on. There will be no one better than you at
handling a detailed job.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - If you make them your top pri-
ority, several matters you’ve found difficult to finalize up until
now can finally be accomplished. Keep the desired results in
your mind at all times.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - By holding the brighter side of
an issue in your mind constantly, you’ll not be overwhelmed
by any surprising developments that might arise. You’ll know
that even the difficult is manageable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Sometimes it is necessary to be a bit
stiff-necked about certain business matters, and it might be
one of those times. Don’t ask for more than you deserve, but
don’t accept less either.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Being self-serving always
reduces the amount of success you can enjoy. Conversely,
by looking out for the interests of those with whom you’re
involved, you’ll better your own circumstances.
Previous
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - This is one of those days when it
pays to get out of the way, because you’ll actually be luckier Sudoku

Former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner dies

By Michael Warren
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina —
Former Argentine President Nestor
Kirchner — the country’s most
powerful politician along with his
wife, current leader Cristina
Fernandez — died suddenly
Wednesday after suffering a heart
attack, the presidency said.
Kirchner, 60, died after he was
rushed in grave condition to the
Formenti de Calafate hospital while
having a severe heart attack, the
presidency said.
“It was a sudden death,” his per-
sonal doctor, Luis Buonomo, told
reporters in El Calafate, where
Kirchner and his wife had gone to
rest and await their turn to be
counted in the nation’s census.
Buonomo said an official medical
report would be released later in the
day.
He was accompanied at all times
by his wife, the presidency said.
Kirchner, 60, had undergone an
angioplasty after a heart attack in
September, but was still a likely
candidate in next year’s presidential
elections. He also served as secre-
tary general of the South American
alliance known as Unasur, as a con-
gressman and as leader of the
Peronist party.
The news shocked Argentines,
who by law were staying at home
Wednesday to be counted.
Kirchner’s supporters planned a
mass gathering for Wednesday
night outside the Casa Rosada,
Argentina’s presidential palace.
Already, dozens of Argentines
showed up in the Plaza de Mayo
before the palace, standing
silently in mourning.
“There will be a demonstration to
honor Kirchner and to show
Cristina that we’re with her, sup-
porting her,” said the leader of the
Evita Movement, Emilio Persico.
“In these days we’ll be demonstrat-
ing in the streets that we are mil-
lions who will replace Kirchner.”
After an intimate ceremony in El
Calafate, his body was being flown
to Buenos Aires to lay in state in the
palace, where a vigil was to begin
at noon on Thursday.
Kirchner worked hand-in-hand
with his wife to maintain the ruling
party’s hold on power. Even more
than Fernandez, he was seen as the
heir to Argentine strongman Juan
Domingo Peron and one of the few REUTERS
people capable of managing Argentina’s president-elect Nestor Kirchner waves to residents of his

out parental consent by fining them
$1,000.
Currently, the video game indus-
try voluntarily rates games with an
“E” for everyone, “T” for teen and
“M” for mature. Retailers, however,
do not face any consequences if they
do sell ultra-violent video games to
children without parental consent.
As a result of a video game indus-
try lawsuit, the courts put an injunc-
tion on AB 1179 before it could take
effect. It cannot be implemented
until a court orders otherwise,
which would be the result if the
Supreme Court rules in Yee’s favor.
Attorney General Jerry Brown
submitted the state’s written argu-
ment in support of Yee’s bill back in
July and it received bipartisan sup-
port in the Legislature before being
signed into law.
Yee’s law has support across the
country, with 11 states submitting
legal briefs to the Supreme Court in
support of California’s law.
Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Texas and Virginia all support AB
1179.
Yee argues the harmful effects on
children from playing violent video
games are documented and not seri-
ously contested.
“This is not a prohibition on the
industry,” Yee said yesterday. “The
games can still be sold to adults and
children will still have access to the
games.”
Yee wants parents — and not
retailers — to decide whether a
child should have access to ultra-
violent video games.
“The discussion should be
between the parent and child,” Yee
said.
Misty Megia, with Play N Trade
in downtown San Mateo, agrees that
the discussion should be between
parents and children, just without
“The video game industry already
monitors itself,” Megia said.
“Children can’t buy ‘M’-rated
games here without their parents.
We check IDs.”
Megia said more emphasis should
be put on the benefits children get
by playing video games, including
the social interaction with others.
She also thinks it would be unfair
to regulate video games and not
movies, for instance.
But video games are far more
involved than movies, Yee said.
“The interactive nature of video
games is vastly different than pas-
sively listening to music, watching a
movie or reading a book,” said Yee.
“This immersion results in a more
powerful experience and potentially
dangerous learned behavior in chil-
dren and youth. Moreover, there is a
practical side in favor of the state’s
other forms of media are appropri-
ate for their children, whereas vio-
lent video games can contain hun-
dreds of hours of footage with the
most atrocious, racist and sexist
content often reserved for the high-
est levels.”
AB 1179 was signed into law by
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in
2005 to prevent the sale and rental
of violent video games that depict
serious injury to human beings in a
manner that is especially heinous,
atrocious or cruel to persons who
are under 18 years of age. The law
was struck down by the U.S. Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals in 2009 but
the nation’s highest court agreed to
hear the case earlier this year.

Johns' promise comes less than a
week after PG&E and elected offi-
cials expressed uncertainty about
whether the line would be moved
decision.
On Friday morning, state Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, said Johns promised during
a meeting to move the rebuilt line,
but later in the day Yee backtracked
on those comments.
"They can't absolutely guarantee
that because they don't have that
authority," he said in reference to
relocating the line.
Yee said the decision would ulti-
California Public Utilities
Commission officials, but a PG&E
spokeswoman said that company
officials are no longer uncertain
about whether they have the
authority to move the segment.
"We will move the pipeline,"
spokeswoman Katie Romans said,
adding that it remains unclear who
will fund moving Line 132 out of
the San Bruno neighborhood.
"All of those details about cost
be seen," she said.
On Monday, the California
Public Utilities Commission
received a PG&E report detailing
several gas leaks on lines similar to
the one that exploded in San
Bruno.
According to the report, PG&E
investigators across California
found and dealt with four gas leaks
on main transmission lines and 34
leaks on other facilities that
"These leaks were discovered,
and we took immediate action to
make repairs," PG&E spokesman
Paul Moreno said. None of the four
leaks discovered were on Line 132,
Romans said.
At Friday's news conference,
Ruane expressed concern about the
city's emotional health in the after-
math of the Sept. 9 explosion. "We
have kids up there that are uncom-
fortable in the evening," he said.
